My Reviews
Lightning
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
I've been using TBird+Lightning for many years now. I have approx 10 calendars and Lightning's focus stealing behaviour every time it updates the reminder pane is a real killer. Time after time I've been typing away only to find that the reminder pane is up on another monitor stealing all the keystrokes. It is really obnoxious behaviour irritating enough that I am about to give up on it. Too bad because otherwise it is a pretty good calendar program.
Hi Philipp I couldn't see any other way to respond to you other than by editing my comment. Thank you for your response!
I believe no program should steal focus unless it has been authorized to do so by the user - in other words this should be a user option at least in about:config if not in the main UI.
And yes every time the calendar server is queried to refresh calendars focus is stolen and the reminder window is refreshed - been like this as long as I can remember.
Also some people may use the reminders window the way you say but I don't see why I should need to dismiss a reminder until I am ready to? I don't want to have to keep snoozing it, I want it on the screen where I can see what I still have to get through. I only snooze something when it will be hours before I can get to it.

Ihave about a dozen email accounts and the files are all on network storage which seems to make TBird take 1+ minutes to process. So when I start TBird I end up looking at something else and forget about watching for the prompt. SOmetimes 5-10 minutes have gone by before I notice it and then of course I have a dozen dialogs to find (amazing that they won't all show up in the same place) and fill in the password for... a real pita on an almost daily basis. This seems to solve that nicely and, so far, no side effects. The option to wait until add ons have finished could use a bit more explanation but that is a minor complaint. Thank you!
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.6.2).Remove Duplicate Messages
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
My duplicates came from a Thunderbird bug (almost has to be) where every couple of years all the messages in an account are duplicated for unknown reasons. When I found this it was great to be able to fix it it. You gave away your labor for free (thank you) so don't take these the wrong way but a few things:
1. The description of the add-on says good for Thunderbird 3 to 31 but we are now up to 52 so it wasn't even clear it would work - almost didn't download it.
2.On one account I rmb clicked on Inbox to set it as the next folder to remove duplicates from and then ran the remove. Worked fine. Then I went to the next account and rmb clicked on its Inbox and when I tried to run the removal it said it wouldn't search special folders. Both were pop3 accounts to the same ISP so it's hard to see where the difference would be. Eventually I just stopped trying to select a specific folder within the account folder and crossed my fingers and told it to delete without a selected folder - it seemed to work ok. It wasn't clear which folders it was selecting to work on though - scary!
Then out of curiosity I went back and tried to repeat my actions on the first folder and this time it complained about not searching special folders...???
3. It seems to automatically compact after removing duplicates... would kind of like opportunity to decline that.
4. Some comments reference documentation... I'm not seeing any documentation.
Overall it did the job so I'm grateful - thank you!
