Manually sort folders
by Jonathan Protzenko, Itagaki Fumihiko

This extension allows you to manually sort (order) your folders in the folder pane of Thunderbird or automatically sort them, but in a better way. This extension also allows you to re-order accounts in the folder pane.
Collector's Note To me the big deal with this add-on is that I can sort the ACCOUNTS. T-Bird has them in the order that you added them. That is just crazy, why would I want that?
Mail Redirect

Allow to redirect (a.k.a. "remail") mail messages to other recipients.
Collector's Note This one adds a simple way to Redirect one email. Keep in mind If you forward or edit an email thing in the headers will be different (like dates) by redirecting you are not changing the header of the original message.
QuickFolders (Tabbed Folders)

The "Swiss army knife" of folders. Turn your favorites into tabs - open folders and subfolders, move mails without scrolling around or searching. powerful + easy.
See new mail at a glance after automatic filtering - supports quickFilters addon!
Collector's Note Having folders in tab format can help a lot. Mainly because you can customize it so much. To much to get into here. Works with QuickFilters and like QickFilters they have a page on mozdev. Sadly both pages are poorly written. They explain simple things and not the small details but they do help some. Not easy writing up directions for add-ons that do so much.
quickFilters

Quickly generate mail filters on the fly, by dragging and dropping mails and analyzing their attributes. Create a filter in less than 10 seconds, it's as easy as: drag, click, click.
By popular demand, supports SORTING filters alphabetically.
Collector's Note Does a lot to help setup filters. To much to get into here. Works with QuickFolders and like QuickFolders they have a page on mozdev. Sadly both pages are poorly written. They explain simple things and not the small details but they do help some. It was very nice of him to try to write out what he did.
Account Colors

Associates user-defined colors with POP3/IMAP accounts and identities. Applies these colors to accounts, identities, folders, message list, message headers and compose headers. Users will always know which accounts/identities they are working with.
Collector's Note Keeps me from using the wrong email to the wrong people.
Folder Pane View Switcher
by Jonathan Kamens, Arnd Issler
3,343 users
Folder view arrows; switch to "All Folders" view when hovering during drag & drop; allow user to select which views are enabled or tied to the view arrows.
Collector's Note Adds arrow buttons so you can change views of the folder tree. This simple add-on can remove the need for so many other ones. I have been using this add-on for so long now, I forgot that it was an add-on. I vaguely remember removing something like 5 add-ons after I got to using this one.
RedirectFilter

Redirect action in the filters.
Collector's Note This is a complex addon to understand. More so since the link to explain it (from the developer) is broken. Yet it is a very powerful tool to have. Kinda like resending an email as new to another place/person yet you can have the filter make a copy (or 2) for you if you want.
Folder Filters Button

Just a very simple add-on that adds a toolbar button to execute the "Run Filters on Folders" from Tools menu.
Collector's Note This does the same EXACT same thing as if you go to the 'Tools' Menu, do a drop down to the "Run Filters on Folder"
ConfirmFolderMove
by Ryan Lee
866 users
Introduces a preference that allows users to be prompted before moving folders.
Collector's Note A nice safety to have. To be honest how many times do you ever MOVE a folder. When you do your moving a lot of them and if that is the case you can disable this add-on.
SmartFilters

Tired of writing a lot of filters? Install SmartFilters now to organise your mailbox automatically. It can sort out your mailing lists and robot emails.
Collector's Note I love this addon. It is good for making filters AND folders on an exiting folder already being used. If you have no idea on how to make sub-folders out of a folder that is flowing over; start with this addon. You may have to rework the filter and rename the folder (I always to both) but it gets the folders and filter started for you.
