My Reviews

Xpunge

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Update for new version 5.0.1: Thank you! MultiXpunge appears to go through the motions of compacting, so that is an improvement. However, the process still seems to not actually make any change to the size of folders. I will keep testing this to see if it is actually doing any compacting.

Issue) While the add-on does delete trash and junk, it fails to compact any folders that are selected. MultiXpunge does not even attempt to compact. Xpunge goes through the motions but does not appear to compact anything as evidenced by an immediate manual compaction that does compact and shows amount saved in status bar. This has been thoroughly tested on multiple machines.

Again, thank you for working on this great add-on!



Indispensable add-on! One does not realize how much one needs it until it no longer works (such as TB 128 and later).

As others have said, we look forward to the new compatible version, and many of us are willing to contribute once it is released.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.0.2). 

✨ Awesome Emoji Picker ✨

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Thank you for providing a complete emoji tool for TB!

Auto Address Cleaner

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Update: Thanks to to the dev, group emails now work again,

This add-on is broken on TB 128.1 or later. It prevents group emails from being sent. It gives the following error message:

"Whatever Group Email ... is not a valid email address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct before sending the email"

Disabling this add-on fixes the issue.

I would have posted this on the support site, but I am not signing up for X to be able to do so.

MetaClean for Thunderbird

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Who knows if it works? There is one problem with it that has made me stop using it:

IMAP accounts can randomly and completely stop responding when this add-on is active. For example, you compose a message and go to send it and then it wants to copy the message to the SENT folder. It will just hang there for hours. If you disable the add-on it immediately copies the message to the sent folder. I have the same issue when I choose to compact my IMAP folders.

When I disable this add-on IMAP accounts work perfectly; when it is enabled I have issues like the above randomly.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.2). 

Identity Selector

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

This has potential, but the selection dialogue is clumsy and if you have more than 3 identities you have to scroll to see them.

Identity Chooser is a much more realized add-on, and there is nothing here to make one change.

Keep working on this because it has potential.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.3.0). 

Thunderbird Weather

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I give 1* for the idea. But, the execution is sadly totally lacking in just about every way.

1) No options whatsoever
2) You cannot choose weather location
3) Gives temp for a location almost 400 miles away
4) Radar map is for US only
5) Nothing shown is useful because it is not relevant to where you are actually located.
6) It ends up on your spaces toolbar, but I had to hunt all over to find it. NO INFO!

This could be very useful if implemented in such a way as to be relevant to the user's location.

Reply All Button

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Thank you! I have become so used to working around the "Smart Reply" (which can still be useful, just do not call it "Reply All") limitations I had almost forgotten how "Reply All" used to, and should work. So far, this add-on appears to work as desired.

Classic Black

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Really consistent and slick theme. I love it!

Gloss. Black

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have switched from the Dark Night Arcturus X theme because the dev lost his way :)

This theme is clean, neat, and looks great!

Dark Shadows XT

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Edit: Unacceptable is not the word I would have used (unless I actually used it); not for me would be closer to the truth. Now that it is gone, you get the 5* it now deserves.

It would be perfect except for the weird logo in the title bar. That logo wrecks the add on for me. It draws your eyes, it is ugly, and just plain weird.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.8). 

Dark Night Arcturus X

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Edit: True to my word I do check in from time to time, and I see that 5.0 is missing the smudge! BACK TO 5* and to being my favorite theme!

Edit: Tried 4.9 and it is just not my thing. It looks like a dirty spot on my monitor screen. I have always supported your work, and even though I have moved on to a new theme, I will check back from time to time to see if you have come to your senses. Ha ha.

Sorry man, but version 4.8 is ruined by the strange logo in the title bar. It breaks up the flow, and well it is ugly, it draws your eyes to itself, and it is just plain out of place and weird. I switched back to 4.6.

Quick Filter By

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Extremely simple, and very useful. Once you get used to it you will feel awkward doing things the old way.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (9). 

Multimonth view

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Now that another user has told us how to activate it, I change me review to 3*. The dev should of told us how to activate it, AND, for those of us using dark themes the icon on the mail view toolbar is hardly visible.

ALSO, the icon should be on the Calendar view toolbar, not the Mail view toolbar. It if was, then it is a lot more likely that we would have seen it.

I would like to give at least 4* but the above oversights preclude that. Once they are fixed I will change me review.

Attachment Viewer: view in a tab, slideshow

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Update: I am about to finally uninstall this now pretty much useless extension. So many things do not work right that I no longer bother to use it, and I just view attachments via the native apps. Less hassle.

After 115 this extension does not work like it used to. As others have stated there are issues with displaying certain documents. There are many other issues as well such as it only displays one attachment of multiple attachments, with no way to view the others except by native apps. I wish they would be fixed instead of ignored.

Instead of adding useless features like playing mp3s, please fix the bugs. I would donate to this ... but it has to work right first.
