Sorry because of bug reporting here...
It does not work in Earlybird 36. After "set expire date to" and some seconds the flag disappears. Errors are:

Error: true
Source File: chrome://expiry-timestamp/content/expiry-timestamp-column.js
Line: 109

Error: etUtils.setExpiryToMessage: TypeError: headerBox is undefined
Source File: resource://expiry-timestamp/modules/etUtils.jsm
Line: 187

Error: etUtils.setExpiryToArrayOfMessages TypeError: csbValues is undefined
Source File: resource://expiry-timestamp/modules/etUtils.jsm
Line: 151

Thanks for your work!

It is great that this add-on works again after a long period where development seemed to have stalled. It is perfect for my needs. With an inbox containing thousands of emails (sloppiness on my part), it is great to be able to mark expiry on emails on arrival and count on them to disappear automatically when they are no longer relevant.

It doesn't work at all for me in Thunderbird 3.1.10. There's no visible menu option for setting the expiration date.

The system as described is of little use. Setting the expiry relative to the current date, or being able to set the expiry to a specific date using a calendar would be better.

There should be a criteria that applies to messages only to already messages.

It looks like it sets the expiry date relative to the received date. I expected it to be relative to the current date. Especially when setting it manually to '1 day' on a message I received two days ago.

Great idea though!

Didn't found a way to remove a once-set expiry date

It works simply and well.
I would add:
- a drop-down calendar that lets you select expiration on a particular day, not just 1 or 2 days/weeks/months after the email's date
- selection of time for expiration, not just the time of the email
- a choice to move expired emails to another folder (ie Trash) instead of deleting them completely
- a choice to (re)move emails on a regular basis instead of waiting for the folder to be compacted
- it would be nice if you could use expiration date as a search criterion. I tried adding X-Expiry-Date as a custom header, but t-bird search didn't seem to understand it was a date, and it didn't work

Nice, but would be better if it could work for POP3 as well and if one could set an Expiry time for outgoing email

This extension for Thunderbird pleased for me.
For a lot of my letters I have limit for time of its actuality.
In this case ExpiryTimestamp helped me - I simple add filters for such letters.
As result - cleaned folders - all older letters was deleted.

Great Idea - I can leave all my "junk" messages without any disturb, that my inbox will be overfilled by that garbage. And if I has some forgot messages, they will stay alive as long as I specify in rules. I can't do the same by any another tool. I like Thunderbird. It's the best.
