FYI: I have reached out to John Beiling, a listed contributor of Xpunge, to attempt to give my revision to the OG developers/contributors and have decided to give them a few weeks to respond.

If they do not, I will do a complete rewrite of it all and release it as a completely new extension... name, code, graphics, licensing and all.

Standby for updates at the beginning of September 2026. I have a GitHub repo and may launch it there.

Thank you all for your responses!

Sincerely,
CybTekSol

Hi CybTekSol, I've modified the manifest only (quick&dirty) to be able to use again this extension, I really missed it!
I'm absolutely interested in a release from you, let's keep this extension alive, it's super useful!!!
And thank you for your effort!!!

Hi CybTekSol,

I agree with BY-Joe. This extension should be built into Thunderbird. If you have something to offer others, it would be appreciated.

Hi CybTekSol,

It was great to read that you successfully updated implementation.js and manifest.json for the current version of Thunderbird (Xpunge Custom Revival 5.03). I’ve been using Xpunge myself for ages and was also frustrated that it stopped working.

Could you post a link to your version—for example, as a GitHub Gist, a GitHub repo, or via a file hosting service (like Dropbox, Mega, etc.)? Ideally the complete .xpi file, though the two modified files would suffice if necessary.

Thanks in advance for the effort and for keeping the extension alive!

seems the bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1977840) is being RESOLVED INVALID now and since then, nothing further was happened. What's now, do you have discontinued this Addon now, or do you working on this special event Listener? BTW: with the good old POP3 there are no issues and I'm on TB 140.10.1esr (64-Bit) flatpak (Ubuntu 24.04.* LTS)

Un indispensable
Le travail inconstestable du dev est aneanti par le nouveau code de Thunderbird, j espere vraiment qu ils travaillent sur une solution comme ça ete fait au passage du canal 128 , comme beaucoup je reste sur ma version 139 a cause de cela.
Courage au dev de l extension Theodore car son travail n est pas récompensé.

I'm currently stuck on Thunderbird 139 because the Xpunge add‑on no longer works with newer TB versions, and it’s essential for me. According to the add‑on page, Xpunge is broken on TB 140+ due to Bug 1977840, and I'm wondering whether the workaround mentioned in comment #13 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1977840#c13) of that Bugzilla ticket might allow Xpunge to be re‑enabled for newer Thunderbird versions. If not, what alternatives exist that can empty all trash/junk folders and compact all folders across accounts with a single action?

Just to get this add-on back, I reverted from TB 148 to 139.
With 139, there might be more security threats, but so in WIN10, but I'm staying with these. :)

BTW, In 139, I also got back LookOut (fix version). It's a win-win.

And, I donated the Author. This app is so awesome. The coders need to get some food on the table, too. And a cup of coffee. So donate. Don't just take advantage of someone else's work.

This is a very useful plugin for those of us who have multiple mail accounts in Thunderbird and like to keep the folders compacted. I would say I used to use it more than any other TB plugin. However, it has been broken since TB 140 by a problem in the TB code itself. Apparently, one developer identified the likely issue, but, as far as I can tell, there has been no effort to fix it. I hope this can get some attention. I would even advocate putting this function into TB itself.

One of the best add-ons now dead in the water because Mozilla broke the interface, when will it be fixed and an update done?

Hope this add-on is fixed soon. TB dropped the ball not featuring what Xpunge does. Thanks, Mr. Tegos.

This is a "must have" Addon! Give them the time to make it compatible again! <3

This extension was working very well until I updated TB to version 140.0. Please update it so that it works with that version+ Thanks.

Xpunge is not compatible with TB 140.0, because TB 140 has a bug that has broken some of the functionality of MultiXpunge.

After this bug is fixed in TB, I will need to do more tests to see if there are any other issues.

The add-on works but it is VERY slow compared to previous versions (for TB 115 and lower). It seems to "visit" every folder in an account instead of just working on "trash" and "junk."

Can you please use the "Support E-mail" and send me an email, so we can look into this issue together with more information/details?

Thunderbird 136 breaks add-on.

von Theodore Tegos (Entwickler) am März 6, 2025 ·

Thanks for reporting this.

This is on the Desktop Release channel (not the ESR channel), which is now the default TB download. Thunderbird 136 is the latest release there.

See https://github.com/theodore-tegos/xpunge-tb/issues/15 for more information.
