Addon Compatibility Check for TB 102/TB 115/TB 128
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great tool for checking which of your Add-ons are ready for this year's new Thunderbird version (91). Very helpful!
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3).Message Header Toolbar Customize
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent and does what THunderbird 78 should have given you "Out of the Box". Having labels on the header is just unnecessary visual clutter. I want to support this add-on with my SmartTemplate Add-on so that we can choose a form letter from the write / reply / forward buttons.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.0).CompactHeader
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Still very useful. Unfortunately, it floods the error console with messages, you have to set
extensions.CompactHeader.debugLevel=3 and restart Tb to turn this behavior off. Since the Options dialog doesn't support setting the debug level anymore, you should consider setting the default to 3
MultiTemplateLoader
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
If you need this functionality for Thunderbird 68, try the SmartTemplate4 Add-on, which now also includes similar functionality to the also abandoned Stationery Add-on.
You can add templates to the write/reply/forward buttons on ST4 Settings, under Accounts: "File Templates". On top of that, you can use variables, such as %from(firstname)% and insert dates, change subject lines, add recipients etc.
Stationery
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
HERE IS HELP:
Since Thunderbird 68 - You can use your Stationery files with SmartTemplate4. Simply open SmartTemplate settings and select "File Templates" from the Accounts dropdown; you can then add your Stationery files to the write, reply and forward buttons. I have been using Stationery for years and worked with the author Arivald to make both our Add-ons compatible with each other.
Since he has no time to work for nothing for the many weeks that it takes to update Addons to the latest Tb version I decided to incorporate the Stationery feature into my own Add-on, because external templates are absolutely crucial for a productive Mail environment. Stationery has always been a 5 star Add-on, absolutely important.
I am programming Add-ons for 10 years and I would have patched Stationery if I had a month of free time (I seriously tried). But I had to set my priorities and look after my own Add-ons.
Full disclosure: SmartTemplate4 requires a license (5$ / year) because it is impossible to work on Add-ons every day of the week for nothing. All "free as in beer" things will end eventually, because they exploit people.
Copy Sent to Current
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Super valuable tool - but you need to update the overloaded options in "Copies & Folders" as the preferences system has changed in Thunderbird 68.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.4).Stationery
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
It was a great and useful Add-on - but unfortunately is not compatible with Tb 68 - if you want to keep working with external HTML files, please try out my Add-on SmartTemplate4 instead - this supports external html files from version 2.3.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
And more needed than ever before. In Tb45 there is a problem with editing the DOM, I raised [Bug 1267157] on it.
Stratini Artemia
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
..it were great. overwrites active tab color because the author doesn't understand specificity. putting !important behind every rule especially something as monstrous as this selector:
toolbox toolbar toolbarbutton:not(.plain)[type*="menu"]:not([open]):not([disabled]):not([checked="true"]) toolbarbutton:hover
makes it next to impossible for other Addons authors to style their controls. !important is just too heavy handed; specificity ftw.
Add-ons Manager - Version Number (discontinued)
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This is fantastic and very useful especially for us Addons developers as having version information at a glance is vital for the development process. Well done!
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.5).ExQuilla for Exchange
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This integrated fantastically well with my corporate Exchange account; now I can use all my favorite Thunderbird addons and have the space saving ergonomic layout of Tb, plus ease of folder traversing "Next Unread Email" and tabbed mail; I don't even have to be on VPN anymore to manage my mail.
Connecting to the EWS server on Thunderbird Release was an absolute breeze, the price is really good and definitely worth the added comfort and stability. As a developer I can appreciate that this is actually not an easy task to pull off, and Kent even offered some support for a Calendar provider.
In terms of productivity, this is a huge win over the free browser access, the money spent on this was basically made back on in time on the first day.
Now if we could just have another addon that connects the Thunderbird UI to the server side filters (Microsoft calls them "message rules") ! :-)
ColumnsWizard
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Another good example for an Addon that adds just the right amount of "missing feature" to my beloved Thunderbird.
It works also very well in search results and removes one more unnecessary step from an operation that I do frequently. Thanks for adding the account column as well. I can see that this is going to be even more useful in the future as you have added custom fields so it looks it should be easy enough to add more useful information here in the future.
keep up the awesome work!
ColumnCV
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I just downloaded + installed this, and although I do not use conversation view, it is still very useful as it also adds the column to the search results view and removes one more unnecessary step from an operation that I do frequently. It would be even more useful to me if you could also [optionally] add an account column as well.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0).Stationery
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thanks for supporting the SmartTemplate4 Addon in 0.8! This made both addons even more useful! I can now use fully styled html templates and the convenient user interface of selecting templates via single-click; whilst using the powerful variables available in SmartTemplate4. Definitely a very useful productivity tool.
With Stationery+ST4, it is very easy to set up form letters such as support replies and save tons of time when replying to support mail. We are thrilled about this new version.
Rise of the Tools
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thanks a lot - I have based my own extension "Menu On Top" on your code, so this gave me a great head start. Personally I like the tools close to the window contents, but I absolutely despise having the menu there all the time; so thanks for a good tool idea with a great restartless execution.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This is indispensable. Excellent replacement for signatures (which are a bit weak in Thunderbird). Also the HTML editor is really worth its weight in gold. It is a total time saver for standard replies (template).
Also support is very good and the author is open to good suggestions. Love the font preview feature - I didn't even know it was supplied by you, as I have been using Stationery for a long time now.
Rise of the Tools
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
.. for those people who like the toolbar on top. There is a bug that seems to break existing style sheets though - my extension QuickFolders (3.1) is one of the affected:

I have coded a workaround, but maybe you could contact me to work on fixing this bug?
Mail Summaries
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This really adds a lot of value to the account and mail panes (when no message is selected). It would be great for us "Copy Sent to Current" users if it you could add some options for ignoring our own emails for items like "Top Authors". Recent Messages is a great feature as well for cherry-picking without browsing.

Looks slick & polished. Also I like the integration for Add-Ons like QuickFolders!
