This is EXCELLENT! Sometimes I'm on my "smart-ass random website user email/ID (like the one I'm using to write this!). Then, a business associate get's an email from this Frosty Jackson guy. How embarrassing!!

A-1 thinking. Thx!!

This works perfectly for me, and also enhances the use of the "Identity Chooser" add-on.

I would like to see TB's Compose window's "To" field hi-lite color match the color of the identity, but that is likely a TB thing only. Good add-on!

Not a bug! It's not the fault of the add on; it's my own thickheadedness. I can't figure out how to save the colors I choose when I select them in the extensions tab. Sorry for posting in the reviews, but I'm not seeing any way to reach the developer either. My copy of Thunderbird is up to date. I'm on a Mac (also up to date). Any useful suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks

Hello Pete! Someone else brought up this issue a while ago, and a solution was to close the color picker after choosing each color. Another person had to create a new TB profile, so the cause is not clear.

Have a look at this discussion, feel free to add there

Links to code and bug tracker are at the bottom of the "About this add-on" description, here:

Let me know if they are not visible enough, I can look for a better place.

Simple but effective. It's too easy to send mails from the wrong account, and this extension solves the problem. It also appears to be the only extension of its kind that works with Thunderbird 115.

Nice add-on, it really helps to avoid confusions when sending emails from a Thunderbird configured with multiple mail accounts.

Brilliant! I use different email addresses for different contact groups, and if I'm writing to or replying to someone, I can see at a glance that it's going from the right account. I wish all the add-ons were this good.

It's OK. Helpful if you are sending messages but not really what I was looking for. A way to tell which account I'm in when reading messges.

The plugin parameters are not saved when thunderbird (T91.9.1) is closed, may be because i use a main password to protect my accounts passwords.

If you want to report a bug, could you use the issue tracker instead of posting a "review"? Thank you! — in the meanwhile, I'll have a look

Exactly what I needed. It makes switching between identities in T-bird easy.

Works exactly as advertized, there is a colored bar that matches each different address. To adust the colors work in the settings for the exstention. Sending from the wrong address for my has droped down a lot since getting this exstention.

Hello David, sorry to hear that you can't get BorderColors to work for you.

Do you have any more details about the problem you are encountering? Anything already mentioned on the issue tracker?

This is a wonderful addon. But, with the latest Windows 10 updates, the latest Thunderbird (78.9.1) and the latest BorderColors D (2021.4.1), I can no longer find a way to get to the BorderColors D settings. There is no line in Thunderbird's Tools menu for Addon Settings.

Hello there, glad to read that you find the add-on useful!

I'm not sure which Thunderbird version introduced the change, but most add-on options are now on the Add-ons tab. BorderColors-D doesn't do anything different, so they should appear there as well.

Hello, thank you very much for this add-on.
I'm an orphan of Account Colors that TB has killed with the 78 version, and luckily you have developed this nice tool that at least replicate the basic account coloring.

Just a few questions:
- can you add an option to color the background of the message header, instead of the message body ?

- can you color the messages in the message pane ?

Thanks, Pietro

Hello Pietro, glad to hear BorderColors is useful to you!

Unfortunately, negative answers to both your questions:
- I had to remove the header background option when I made the add-on compatible with TB78: there is no API that can create that effect now;
- I don't think there is a way to apply custom styles to message rows at the moment (and I'm also not sure it's in the scope of this add-on)

Je cherchais un remplacement à Account colors, mais c'est impossible car TB INTERDIT LA COULEUR en fond, dans la liste des comptes dorénavant !
Je me rabats sur cette extension, qui fonctionne parfaitement, tout en proposant différentes options pour l'identification colorée dans un nouveau message (traits, différentes tailles, dégradés verticaux ou dans les coins, etc.), et le choix de couleurs entier.
Au moins ça permet de diminuer les erreurs d'expéditeur en envoi de nouveau message.
Mais ça ne résout pas la confusion dans la vision des comptes, depuis que leur distinction par couleur est impossible.
Scandaleux Mozilla qui interdit une fonction essentielle, pour celleux, nombreux·ses, qui ont de nombreux comptes à gérer.

Sehr wertvoll! Ich weiß nun wieder, ob ich ich aus meinem privaten oder geschäftlichen Account schreibe. Hat bei mir Account Colors ersetzt.
