The test version for TB 128 is at https://github.com/xnotepp/xnote/releases/tag/v4.1.7https://github.com/xnotepp/xnote/releases/tag/4.3.27
Mac Users: Sometimes, there seem to be problems displaying the note window on a Mac. It works fine on Win 11. I do not have access to a Mac for testing. Please copy errors in error console to the github issue https://github.com/xnotepp/xnote/issues/65.
Many thanks, Klaus
XNote allows you to create a note for each mail. Thus, you can add, for example, the phone number of that contact or the date when you have to contact the sender back, or you can plan a reply in a note.
In a company context, the notes can hold special tasks, and if they start with the short name of the task assignee, each employee can easily find their tasks with Expression Search NG addon (more on search see below).
Features:
Fulltext Search
Fulltext search is done with the help of the addon Expression Search NG, which must be installed as well.
Search can be done either in the current message list, but XNote is now also a choice in the general search dialog, so XNote's can be searched across folders. Also, virtual search folders based on XNotes can be created.
In the current messagelist, emails with xnotes can be searched by entering xn:text into the Expression Search quicksearch field.
Combine the search for XNotes with search/conditions/constraints on: sender, recipient, date, age, filename, attachment, subject, any type of status, other headers and many more search criteria, see the search query builder in Expression Search NG.
Use the visual search query builder in Expression search NG (you don't need to remember all these abbreviations like: xn:, age:, f:, fromto:, etc.):
Search Examples
xn:subtext ➔list only emails containing subtext, anywhere in a XNote xn:subt ➔ list emails containing subtext, anywhere in a XNote. Other words with subt (e.g. subtle) might be
found as well. -xn:subtext ➔list only emails not containing subtext in a XNote (but having a XNote) xn:* ➔list all messages with a XNote -xn:* ➔list all messages without XNotes ^xn:opto ➔list all messages having XNotes starting with my nickname, "opto" (all employees, here, start their notes with their name) ^xn:opto xn:contract ➔list all messages having XNotes starting with opto and containing the word contract ^xn:opto xn:contract f:companyname ➔list all messages from companyname, where the XNote starts with opto (written by myself) and the XNote contains the word contract ^xn:opto age:60 xn:contract f:companyname ➔as above, but list only emails from the last 60 days.
More Details and Options
Bookmark XNotes: If the bookmarks addon is installed, XNotes can be bookmarked (by Icon in XNote window).They are then shown in a special toolbar and can be quickly jumped to, independent of which folder is currently displayed.
Show note summary in messagedisplay: The messagedisplay can show the first 350 characters of the XNote. The display combines the first 175 chars, followed by ... and the last 175 chars, while linefeeds are removed.
If note display in a window is disabled, this allows to scroll through the messagetree by up, down or mouse. For relevant messages, the xnote summary will be displayed inside the message display area.
Using the button, it is possible to toggle between note summary and full note display.
You can switch this off in addon settings.
Print notes:: Using the print icon in the xnote window, notes can be printed.
Email notes: Using the forward arrow in the xnote window, notes can be forwarded by email.
Display of notes: If the messagedisplay is switched off (F8, only threadlist is visible), notes will now display (bugfix).
Toggle note display with XNote++ button or Alt+m: Repeatedly clicking the button in the toolbar toggles the display of the note.
Preview notes on mouseover:If you display the {addon} column and widen it, so that the three dots are shown for a note, but no text: then, on mouseover/hover, a little window will show the note text. The message does not need to be selected.
This can be used to get a fast overview over all notes indicated in the messagelist.
The number of characters shown can be chosen in the settings (tools->addon settings-> xnote++).
Keyboard operation: New note: Alt+m, Modify note: Alt+m, Delete note: Shift+F10 - x - d (varies by TB language). Some keyboards have a 'context menu' key, which can be used instead of shift+F10
Set note position on screen:XNote++ now allows to set the standard screen position for notes in the settings. It is even possible to choose a position outside of the main TB window. So the note will no longer cover parts of the TB window.
Kown issues:
This is a port to Thunderbird >= 3 based on XNote 2.1.0 ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/3093 ) with bugfixes and additional features.

XNote allows you to create a note for each mail. Thus, you can add, for example, the phone number of that contact or the date when you have to contact the sender back, or you can plan a reply in a note.
In a company context, the notes can hold special tasks, and if they start with the short name of the task assignee, each employee can easily find their tasks with Expression Search NG addon (more on search see below).
Features:
- Add notes to messages by toolbar button or by keyboard shortcut Alt+m, can be customised.
- Custom column in messagelist to mark messages with notes.
- The custom column can show the notetext. If the column is narrow, the note is shown in a popup on hovering a column entry.
- Highlight (tag) messages with notes. Customize tag name and color.
- Resizeable notes
- You can preset standard note position of screen, even outside of TB main window.
- Notes can be displayed in a popup window opening when selecting the mail, in the mail display above the mail text or in the popup in the xnote column (customizable).
- Note display in message can by default be a summary or the full note (preset to your choice and toggle by button inside the mail)
- Create or display notes by keyboard only (no mouse needed). Alt+m (TB 102+, customizable) creates or opens a note for edit, close/save with esc or Alt+m.
- Translated into Dutch, English, French, Galician, German, Italian, Japanese, and Polish.
- XNote toolbar button: XNote comes with a button to add a note to a message. To enable this button, right click on the toolbar (the bar with the icons below the menu bar) and select "Customize...". Locate the "XNote" button and drag it onto your toolbar, if not already shown. Then select "Done" in the customization window.
- XNote column: If you want to see the "Notes" column, you have to add it via a (left-)click on the column picker (rightmost icon in the column headers of the e-mail list, above the scrollbar).

Kown issues:
- Notes window disappears if moved too quickly. This was introduced by some Thunderbird version < 35 and I assume it to be a bug in Thunderbird's dialog movement handling. If this happens, the note's position can be reset to the default location using the context menu in the message list.
This is a port to Thunderbird >= 3 based on XNote 2.1.0 ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/3093 ) with bugfixes and additional features.
