Version 4.5 441.3 KiB Works with Thunderbird 60.0 - 73.0

quickFilters Change Log - Version 4.5


I am currently working on compatibility with Thunderbird beta 88.0 for preparing next years ESR period (2021/2022).

I will also have to eventually rewrite all mail Add-ons as web extensions, which is currently not yet possible as all necessary APIs to replace the deprecated tech has not been implemented. As in between step I have released quickFilters 5.1 as a "mail experiment" for Thunderbird 78+. If you are interested in using a version of quickFilters that works with Thunderbird 78, buy a license to support the project.

  • [issue 51] Fixed: Merging new filter conditions may lead to duplicate conditions.
  • [issue 52] Own Emails are not automatically suggested for merging when using context menu
  • [issue 23] Avoid Empty Conditions list due to removed recipients - filter cannot be edited.

Version 5.1 520.5 KiB Works with Thunderbird 78.0 - 86.0

  • [issue 14] quickFilters was migrated to Thunderbird 78, and is now finally available after a lengthy beta phase on addons.thunderbird.net. Last year's conversion work was expensive and deep - I hired external developer Klaus Buecher for the main conversion phase and also got some lovely new icons contributed by @Panglab who did a lot of design work for Thunderbird Core.

    I had a lot of extra days of work and around 3,500$ of expenses for this years Add-on conversions and releases - also the web site had to be migrated from the now decommissioned free hosting on mozdev.org to github pages. To help fund quickFilters for the next year and the unavoidable changes necessary to switch over to an API based approach, you should buy a quickFilters Pro license.
  • [issue 33] Copy / move mail context menu broken with quickfilters
  • Improved reopening any support sites already open in a tab by jumping to the correct place if necessary.

Thunderbird 78 Regressions Fixed
  • [issue 41] Fixed: Merge filters (at least manually) is broken.
  • [issue 42] All cut / copied filters in list should be highlighted with icon.
  • Fixed: Filter Editor: The reply-to condition field can be broken / disabled if certain character combinations are used (usually involving parentheses or angle brackets)
  • [issue 44] Folder names default delimiter shows black diamond � instead »
  • Thunderbird 85 beta - Fixed the buttons "Run filters on folder" and "Run filters on selected mails" which stopped working due to a parameter change in the function MailServices.filters.applyFiltersToFolders(). Although I fixed this particular issue I make no guarantees for any functionality if you are using beta versions. During the ESR period I can only fully support the current ESR version Thunderbird 78.1 - 78.*.

Version 4.4.1 444.6 KiB Works with Thunderbird 60.0 - 73.0

quickFilters Change Log - Version 4.4.1


I am currently paying somebody to migrate all my Add-on support sites away from the free host on mozdev.org, which is closing operation end of June. To keep having support sites and ongoing development, please buy a license (the complete migration cost me $650, so there are some expense I hope to recover from the community of users).

I will also have to rewrite all mail Add-ons as web extensions, which is currently not yet possible as all necessary APIs to replace the deprecated tech has not been implemented. As in between step I plan to release QuickFolders as a "web experiment" for Thunderbird 78+ but this will take a few weeks of work. If you are interested in using a version of quickFilters that works with Thunderbird 78, buy a license to support the project.

  • [issue 12] Pro Feature: Add keyboard shortcuts for Run Filters buttons. These can be enabled and configured on the quickFilters Pro tab. This feature is useful for archiving or anti-Junkfilters which should be configured to only run manually.

    Default shortcuts are:
    Shift + F: Run Filters on folder
    Shift + R: Run Filters on selected mails
  • migrated support website from free server mozdev.org to github.
  • 4.4.1 - Fixed a layout problem in settings that caused some bad text characters showing at the top of the dialog.

Version 4.3.1 440.6 KiB Works with Thunderbird 60.0 - 73.0

quickFilters Change Log - Version 4.3.1

  • Missing notifyBox can lead to problems when toggling assistant
  • Premium feature: run filters local inbox didn't work depending on local folder hostname, changed method of determining whether an inbox is in local folders (to force filter running)
  • Made modification of toolbar more reliable
  • Fixed licensing problem with accounts that have no default identity
  • [issue 2] Merged filters: some conditions may end up not working.

    When merging multiple filters, sometimes conditions will not work. This is caused by mixing filters with different radio buttons "all conditions" vs "any conditions". Apparently the merged filter conditions internal "booleanAnd" attributes are not changed towards that of the target filter. So if the target (first) filter has "any" and the merged filter has "all" it may lead to some (or all) of it's conditions being to ignored.
  • Added configuration options to troubleshooter. Simply right-click the troubleshoot button to get a choice between the following tests:
    1. incomingFlag - filters sometimes are missing this flag and will never be executed when downloading new mail. However you may want to have some filters that you only want to run manually so you may want to generally disable this check.
    2. invalidTargetFolder - can occur when filters are imported from other / older mail profiles or folders are moved / deleted on Imap.
    3. customActions - finds invalid custom actions which may have been added by 3rd party add-ons (e.g FiltaQuilla); this problem will occur such Add-ons are disabled or uninstalled.
    4. mixedAnyAndAll - NEW TROUBLESHOOTING STEP: Fix filters that have both mixed Any and All conditions. This can occur when merging filters that have different Any/All definitions and may lead to some conditions being omitted.
  • [issue 3]
    Filter conditions which deal with subject are not exported correctly during backup. This will lead to the condition having a "disabled" subject attribute in the editor after importing them.

quickFilters Change Log - Version 4.2

  • The buttons on the QuickFolders "current folder toolbar" are not displayed anymore in Thunderbird 68.
  • Custom filters: removing / avoiding own email addresses from new filter conditions is not working in Custom Filters. This is now remedied. If you need to add your own email address to the filter conditions its probably a safe bet you would want to do it manually.

quickFilters Change Log - Version 3.12.3

Last maintenance version that supports Thunderbird 52. Future version require at least Thunderbird 60 because they will be compatible with Mozilla's new "web-Extensions" system.

  • [Bug 26657] ESR 2019 Readyness - compatibility with Thunderbird 68

    Made quickFilters compatible with Thunderbird 68 - part of the ongoing effort to future proof quickFilters for 2020. For now, this also means making the minimum requirement using Thunderbird version 60.

    It is not possible to release legacy Add-ons (which address Thunderbird versions before 60) after uploading the new "web-extension" style Add-ons which can be used on the latest version (Thunderbird 67 and higher). Therefore this will be the last release in "legacy format" -

    Older source code is available on a separate Github branch.

    • Replaced prefwindows with dialogs.
    • Use newer preferences script.
    • Replace groupbox elements with html fieldsets.
    • Use new promise-based AddonManager object.
  • The premium feature notification was not displaying the "close" button, this is now fixed.
  • Fixed in 3.12.2: [Bug 26662] Run Filters on folder button stopped workin on Thunderbird 60 (and older versions).

quickFilters Change Log - Version 3.10
  • [Bug 26643] (Premium Feature) Run filters on Local Folders Inbox automatically. With this new option, any emails that are moved to the Local Folders Inbox will be automatically processed again using the filters defined there. With Thunderbird out of the box this behavior cannot be achieve as there is no "Get new Mail" event on Local Folders.
  • [Bug 26649] Creating a new "mail list" filter throws undeclared variable exception.
  • When creating a filter from a message via right-click menu quickFilters now warns if the email is not tagged and also is still sitting in the inbox. Creating filters via the assistant is more useful when the action on the email (such as moving to a folder) has already been carried out as quickfilters can then add this action to the filter definition automatically.
  • > Added choices to skip filter editor / filter list in the filter assistant itself. This may be helpful if you update the same filter with a whitee list / black list of senders and do not want to verify or test the filter. quickFilters will display a OS specific sliding notification after a completely silent filter creation / update but this will close automatically, so no extra clicks are necessary.
  • To accelerate going through the assistant screen, the [Enter] key can now be used to step through its screens.

  • From now on - quickFilters shows no more donation tab on update - update news are handled via the change log.
  • Added a link to quickFilters videos my YouTube channel on the support tab.
  • [Bug 26630] - optimised the quickFilters Assistant by restricting the maximum height - otherwise the merge list can grow very tall. Also the dialog used to grow too wide when certain templates were selected.
  • [Bug 26192] - Improved "mailing list" template to use the "List-id" header, where available. This header is often used by mailing lists. If the List-id header doesn't exist, the filter uses the sender's address, as in previous versions of quickFilters.
  • Backup / Restore Filters will now remember the last folder that was picked for loading / saving.
  • If filters with custom actions cannot be backed up successfully this will be now be displayed in detail.
  • Added easier Renewal logic that reads the old license date and adds a whole year even when extending license early. If your license expires within 30 days, the quickFilters Pro tab will display an "extend license" button.

  • Improved bug icon when faulty filters are found. If some filters don't run automatically, open filters list and then click the debug button. If any problematic filters are found they will then be displayed - click OK to repair the listed filters.
  • Fixed: Message popups for running filters manually stopped closing automatically.

    The flags <tt>nsMsgFilterType.InboxRule</tt> or <tt>nsMsgFilterType.NewsRule</tt> have to be added to existing filters that had the "manual" box unchecked.

    You can use the new "Debug" button to track down and fix these filters.
  • Filters are now merged on import. When a filter is imported it will overwrite a filter of the same name,
    rather than creating a duplicate.
  • Fixed some layout problems (truncation) in filter assistant.

  • [Bug 26477] Make quickFilters compatible with Postbox 5.52 beta 6 (modern Gecko build) - as of beta 7 Postbox follows Mozilla Quantum in dropping 3rd party Addons support altogether:
    Postbox is based on Mozilla code, and as of Firefox Quantum, Mozilla has discontinued support for add-ons. As such, a decision has been made to remove add-ons functionality from Postbox at this time.

    Postbox's Signatures and Responses add-ons have been rolled into the core product. Cloud File Sharing and installable Dictionaries will be supported in future BETA releases.

    Add-ons from 3rd parties will no longer operate in Postbox, but we may opt to roll certain 3rd party add-on functionality into Postbox in the future.

    Help financing the future of quickFilters.
  • Fixed [Bug 26441]
    Thunderbird 57 beta hangs on start with quickFilters enabled.
    A number of changes to the JavaScript engine necessitate various changes to the code. Most important, the changes are incompatible with the Postbox script engine (and are very hard to code around as an important construct, the for loop, which is used in a lot of places will lead to the Add-on breaking down in Postbox) - therefore this version will _not_ support Postbox.
