My Reviews
Manually sort folders
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Would be 5* if the Authors explained why they need so high level of trust from the users...
"Required permissions for core functionality:
Have full, unrestricted access to Thunderbird, and your computer"
QuickFolders (Tabbed Folders)
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
I use(d) QuickFolders from the very beginning when it offered a very narrow set of functions, but between them, there was the most important two - easy selection of folder to be displayed and drag-and-drop of messages to the folders which had assigned tabs. All other additional functions except those which supplemented these two were of very limited value for me. In fact, they were rather something that cluttered the interface. Nevertheless, I accepted them - it's easy to ignore something that you don't have to use.
Unfortunately, as of some days ago, the situation changed diametrally, because the Author decided to make money using well known and rather not a user-friendly method (which could be named extortion by more blunt users).
Now - without any warning - if you update the extension you will get the version for which you have to pay a yearly fee, or use a free, extremely limited variant which rightfully could be named "demo version" as it allows to serve 10 folders only.
That's true that the fee for the limited paid variant which allows serving 25 folders is really symbolic. However, the fee for the unlimited version isn't symbolic. Especially in the light of the Author's declaration that the money is for preserving further support and expansion of the extension.
I consider the Author's decision unfair. In my opinion, almost all works on the extension expanding its functionality are not necessary for most users. Thus efforts put into support of such a basic variant would be negligible in comparison with the current version. A fair solution would be to split the extension to two: basic - frozen at the level covering functions related to displaing, creating and coloring folder labels, switching folders, and moving messages to them. The rest - including toolbar, filters, and many other functions and options (which I can't even name as I never use it) could be put into PRO, paid (subscription) version.
ColumnsWizard
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
As the development of the extension is suspended I provide the warning for its prospective users here.
The way the settings window of this extension works in Thunderbird 60.* is completely buggy. If someone uses the extension options button to open it then the displayed window cannot be closed: escape key doesn't work, there's no "close" button.
The window is centered on the screen and not movable. When another application window is activated then clicking the main Thunderbird window doesn't reactivate it - it's necessary to click ColumnsWizzard's options window first, then Thunderbird window. Fortunately, it's possible to close Thunderbird because while option windows can't be moved the main window can...

Since it's impossible to comment a review I add this non-standard entry...
Author, Adom Pascal of "forgot" to tell us that his "review" is an advertisement of paid product...
BTW: My rating refers to the product of Paolo "Kaosmos", not to above mentioned ad ;-)
Paolo is well known, experienced and respectable programmer. I appreciate his products very much.
Thank you, Paolo!
