Mail Merge

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I find this extremely helpful! Thank you for providing this superb tool! It works fine with my TB 78.8.0

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Nachdem ich lange nach solch einem Addon gesucht habe, war ich richtig froh, dieses gefunden zu haben. Ich habe dabei die neueste Version (0.9.0) von der Webseite des Entwicklers runtergeladen. Leider dauerte die Freude nicht lange. Mit Thunderbird 60.7.0 unter Linux ist die App praktisch unbenutzbar. Sie funktioniert so lange, bis man eine Mail zur Wiedervorlage auswählt. Dann fängt die Liste unterhalb der Ordnerliste an zu flackern, man sieht zwar die zur Wiedervorlage ausgewählte Mail darin, aber TB wird massiv beeinträchtigt bis hin zur Unbenutzbarkeit, abgesehen davon, dass das Flackern ungemein stört. Daher leider nur ein Stern, was ich hoffentlich später ändern kann...

Mail Merge

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It's a really great tool, but it has some glitches, it seems. I just tried to create a mail to several friends in an address list of the adress book. I referenced a custom field, but the contents of that field weren't always included. There is no way to figure out why it was left out for some of the records.

Provider for Google Calendar

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Hi,

I'll give 5 stars once this is fixed. I'm using Kubuntu 14.04. A few days, TB was updated and all addons, but this Add-on gives me the creeps since then. Thunderbird becomes unusable. It waits minutes for somthing to happen, then opens a window, which takes another minute, to tell that a script which is part of this add-on has problems or so, and clicking on the "stop script" button takes another minute to respond. This goes on and on. After disabling the add-on, TB works fine again. But I have no calendar data. Lightning is no good if I can't sync it with my Google calendars.
The error message in the console says:
"Zeitstempel: 30.07.2014 16:06:55
Warnung: getAttributeNodeNS() sollte nicht mehr verwendet werden. Verwenden Sie stattdessen getAttributeNS().
Quelldatei: resource://calendar/modules/calXMLUtils.jsm
Zeile: 32", calendar-unifinder is the script's name. I've no idea if that helps to solve the problem. It took me ten minutes to get the error console opened and this message extracted...
An update:
I switched to the distro Manjaro (based on Arch Linux), where I encounter the same problem. The calendar-unifinder.js script is reported to not to respond, while memory usage of TB increases continually (from about 200 MB to 2 GB and more). When stopping the script, memory usage decreases for a while, but then it starts to build up again, TB reports the script doesn't answer (same script, same line), it takes a while to make it stop, so I disabled it again. Calendar Tweaks is disabled, Lightning works just fine, but this addon doesn't.

MailClassifier

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I tried to edit my previous comment to add the following lines, but was unable to do so. Hence this additional comment:

Lately Thunderbird became extremely slow. I couldn't do anything properly. Typing a few words into a new mail took minutes, trying to move a mail into a folder was trying my patience. I finally disabled mailclassifier, and suddenly everything worked fine again. Thunderbird was quick and smooth again. There still needs quite a bit to be done on this to work meaningfully. With hits less than 5%, and such an impact on Thunderbird's performance, it can't be good.
I admit that I have many (sub)folders. But that can't be the reason for the addon not working properly. I'll remove it and hope for a better version in the future.

MailClassifier

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I'm using it under Linux Mint, Thunderbird version 3.1.8, MailClassifier version 2.1.0. So it's pretty much up to date. But it just doesn't seem to remember any of my actions. It sticks somewhere a year ago, that's my impression. It suggests to move mails to folders which I last filled many months ago. The subject line doesn't seem to have any effect (mailing list info e.g.), and so on. That it isn't really stuck I know from a changing behaviour with certain mails (I get newsletters from two online magazines, and sometimes the suggestions are being exchanged). So some "thinking" seems to be going on in the background, but definitely in the wrong direction.
It#s a pity, because the idea is just great! Since it uses quite some resources and slows down thunderbird, I consider disabling it, as it has no real benefit. It's successful only on less than 5% of my mail, and I get around 100 each day.

MailClassifier

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I use thunderbird 2.0.0.24 with classifier 1.0.
I'm using this add-on now for quite some while (several weeks) and I am extremely disappointed. It seems as if every time I close thunderbird, all that has been done is forgotten. Just one example:
Yesterday evening, it was able to classify a few mails properly (I get a lot of mails daily, so there was enough to learn). This morning, I receive again about 20 mails with extremely varying content, one of which I move and let it classify into the folder "photography". That mail had a lot of content related to that subject. Now, all other mails that have come in have been classified the same, even though none of them is related in any way to photography.
It doesn't help much if it becomes usable only in the evening shortly before shutdown. But maybe, I did something wrong. One thing I noticed: I can not configure it in any way. Is that thought to be that way?
