Auto Profile Picture

Upgrade your inbox with clearer, more recognizable sender visuals—making email management smoother and more intuitive.

Automated Profile Images: Replaces default grey sender icons with their company logos or Gravatar avatars for a more organized and professional inbox.
Automatic Contact Pictures: Automatically assigns a profile picture to contacts when you save them without a photo, simplifying your contact list management.
Inbox & Message Header Customization: Adds profile images to both your inbox list and message headers, improving sender recognition at a glance.
BIMI Support: Supports Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI), displaying official logos from companies.
Streamlined Interface: Delivers a cleaner, more efficient email experience with instant visual identification of senders.
Compatible with Thunderbird extension Thunderbird Conversations

Important Note: The logos displayed in your inbox do not certify the authenticity of the sender. They are not verified indicators that the email is from the company itself. Always exercise caution.

This extension uses several external services to provide the functionality. The privacy policy of these services is as follows:

CloudFlare DNS

Cloudflare DNS is used to resolve BIMI records associated with email addresses.
Their privacy policy can be found here.

In short, Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 public DNS resolver, developed with
APNIC, is designed for privacy by encrypting DNS requests to prevent
spying, not selling or using personal data for advertising, anonymizing IP
addresses, retaining data only for operational purposes and limited time,
and allowing APNIC access to anonymized logs for research.

DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo is used to retrieve website icons.

Their privacy policy can be found here and specifically for the
icons here.

Gravatar
Gravatar is used to retrieve user avatars.

Their privacy policy can be found here.

Some add-ons ask for permission to perform certain functions (example: a tab management add-on will ask permission to access your browser’s tab system).

Since you’re in control of your Thunderbird, the choice to grant or deny these requests is yours. Accepting permissions does not inherently compromise your browser’s performance or security, but in some rare cases risk may be involved.
