AutoBucket

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

First of all, THANK YOU! I really love the concept of this extension, and hope you'll continue to develop it. I used POPfile for years, and found it to be extremely helpful, and this feels a lot like that.

I would like to request some better delineation between accounts, please. I have three email accounts in Thunderbird, and use different tags within those accounts (example, in my personal email I have a tag called Bank Statements; in my work email, I have a tag called Alerts). Unfortunately, Thunderbird itself does a poor job of keeping those accounts and tags separate from each other, so sometimes my work email gets a personal tag (example, my actual bank statement my get tagged as "Alert" even though I don't use that tag for personal emails. I think this contributes to some confusion within AutoBucket. I haven't seen AutoBucket actually move my emails from one account to another, but I have seen it not move emails at all, even after training.

I realize that the tagging problem is something Thunderbird needs to fix. In the meantime, would it be possible somehow to make AutoBucket aware that only certain tags are viable for certain accounts? Something like (only tags 1, 4, and 9 should be considered for account A; all other tags are ignored). Essentially a chroot for email?

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.0).
