A must have extension (but currently not working on TB 78.1.1, event when it "shows" as compatoble when you serach for it).

Thank you for your review! I hope to get Mail Redirect available in 2 or 3 months, before TB 78.3. Don’t know why it shows up in the search results, the latest version is compatible up to TB 70.*…

Terrific Add-on. I've never fully understood why this functionality doesn't exist in TB natively. I'm missing it already in TB 78! Wish I had the skills to help with the rewrite.

Works perfectly and it's better than Apple Mail (because Apple Mail can only redirect only one mail at a time)

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.10.7).

Thunderbird 68.4.2 (32-bit) -- upgraded recently
Mail Redirect 0.10.6 -- upgraded recently

Invoking "Mail Redirect" with ctrl-B brings up a blank window -- the window doesn't have a resend-from selected, and the message that I'm trying to redirect isn't listed in the blank window. Is this a known upgrade problem?

[2/17] Resolved quickly! See developer's reply below. Love this add-on :-)

Something changed in Thunderbird that makes your default account invalid, and Mail Redirect can't handle that properly. If you go to Tools > Account Settings, select your primary account and choose Set As Default from the Account Actions button in the bottom left, your default account should be good again and Mail Redirect should work again.
Hope that helps,
Onno

When I send a redirected email it arrives at the recipeint as being from my email address instead of the original sender address as bounces are supposed to work. I'm almost certain it didn't do that previously...

EDIT: As per the developer's suggestion, I did a few tests and it seems the fault lies at my email provider as he thought. I can redirect from my Gmail address and it works, but my other address replaces the address. I'll just make sure I move mail to my gmail account when needing to redirect. Thanks for replying!

Hi roger,
I'm sorry redirecting doesn't work for you anymore. The error is most likely in you e-mail provider not fully supporting redirecting and substituting your address in the from-address. You can verify this by checking if the message in your Sent folder has the original from-address. You may have to adjust some settings in Mail Redirect or your mail account in order to get Mail Redirect to store a copy of your redirected messages...

Implements an essential feature of any MUA, that Mozilla’s one lacks for some reason.

Great addon .. too bad this feature is not available in the Message Filter actions. I read other users would like this.
How much effort (money ... I'm willing to contribute for this) would you need to add this feature?
Maybe looking at the previous RedirectFilter source code could help you find a way.
Let us know.

Installé sur Macbook, tous les mails redirigés sont reçu comme spam; Sur Windows 10, les mêmes mails sont reçu sans problèmes. Y-a-t-il un réglage à faire ?

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.6).

There's probably a difference in the junk mail control settings between the Macbook and Windows 10.
Check under Tools > Account Settings > [account] > Junk Settings if all settings are the same.
Even if the settings are the same, behavior can still be different, e.g. when you have different training data for adaptive junk mail controls on the two computers or when your personal address books are different.

Previous version worked fine, this one makes the Redirect button in the Mail Redirect window greyed out and unavailable when I begin to type whatever in the Resend-To field.

Edit:
New version 0.9.6a1 is working now as fine as previously! Thanks a lot Onno!

BTW, is it possible to fill Resend-From field with the message's Delivered-To account by default, not the first account from Thunderbird's list?

This was caused by a function that got removed in Thunderbird 57.0a1 and was replaced by another function in Thunderbird 59.0a1.

nsIScriptableDateFormat was removed and first replaced with Intl.createDateTimeFormat and later with Intl.DateTimeFormat.

I've uploaded a new version to the development channel of AMO that solves this problem for beta users. Please go to AMO, scroll all the way to the bottom and click View classic desktop site, switch to Other Applications > Thunderbird on the top right, select/search Mail Redirect and scroll down again to open the Development Channel section and download version 0.9.6a1 and install it to your Thunderbird 57.0b* or 58.0b*.

P.S. I try to determine to which account the original messages was sent and use that account as the default from address. If that doesn't work, please file a ticket at https://sourceforge.net/p/mailredirect/tickets/

Hi, the error message you get is a server error. You have to check with your mail provider for the exact error. There can be many reasons for this error, but probably you've sent too many messages in a short period of time and you have to wait a bit to be able to send messages again. You can try to prevent this from happening, by setting the number of concurrent SMTP-connections to a lower value, for instance to 1 in Mail Redirect's Options.

Just a pity that it's not possible to use it within filters !

I'm sorry, but adding this takes a lot of work, which I don't have at the moment. In the meantime, you can use the add-on RedirectFilter, which is also available from amo…

Being an admin, I need to redirect wrongly addressed emails very often. This tool is perfect!

Als Admin muss ich sehr häufig fehlgeleitete Emails umleiten - Hiermit ein Kinderspiel!

Очень хорошее дополнение к Thunderbird.
Единственное чего бы хотелось, это возможности сохранять перенаправленные письма в произвольную (указанную пользователем) папку, а не только в папку "отправленные".

Thank you for your review and your suggestion to be able to specify a special Resent folder. It looks like a nice feature to me.

Based on the most recent review and the developer's response, the issue with the blank "Preview" pane is attributed to another Add-on. However, I do not have the other addon installed (Reply Monitor).

Conflict with Reply Monitor add-on

by Onno Ekker (Developer) on September 14, 2016 · permalink · translate

This seems to be caused by a conflict between Mail Redirect and Reply Monitor add-on. I'll try to find out if it can be fixed on my side, or better in Reply Monitor.
