Mail/News

accountex

accountex is a powerful extension to export and import the account settings from/to Mozilla Thunderbird.
  • The export assistant saves your account settings in a xml based text file (RDF). Supported are pop3, imap and 'local folder' accounts.
  • The import assistant imports your saved account settings in a thunderbird profile. Very helpful for example after a new installation or re-installation.

Notes: While porting this extension to SeaMonkey I noticed that not all account information is exported, for example the Global Inbox setting new in Thunderbird 2.0. Outgoing SMTP servers are also not saved. The SMTP server key for an account is exported but if imported into an profile without that SMTP server or if it has a different key then the imported account will not have any outgoing server settings.

Paths to your mailbox files are absolute, so if you import an account into a new profile, the settings in the new profile/account will point to the mailbox files located in the account from where the settings were exported.

Install accountex for Seamonkey:
accountex-0.2.3-mod.xpi

addressContext

addressContext is an extension designed to speed up the process of adding email addresses to the address book in Mozilla Thunderbird. addressContext adds an entry to the context menu that allows you to choose between:

  • Add Senders/Recipients as Cards -Adds the senders or recipients of all selected messages to the address book, presenting a dialogue window for each sender to allow customization.
  • Add Senders/Recipients as List -Adds the senders or recipients of all selected messages to the address book to a new Mailing List entry. Further, since mailing list entries are really Address Book subdirectories, will add the recipients to the main address book, as well.

Install addressContext for Seamonkey 2.5 and above, Thunderbird 8 and above:
addresscontext-0.9-mod.xpi

Install addressContext for Seamonkey 1.0 and 1.1:
addresscontext-0.8-mod.xpi
addresscontext-0.7-mod.xpi

Attachment Extractor

Attachment Extractor extracts all attachments from selected messages and then can delete, detach or mark-read.

Just select the messages containing the attachments you want to extract and select 'Extract Attachments' and this extension does the rest. No more having to go through each message to extract the attachments!

xSidebar needs to be installed for the options dialog to work.

Install Attachment Extractor for Seamonkey:
These versions are for SeaMonkey 1.1 to 2.0a3.
attachmentextractor1.2.2-mod.xpi
attachmentextractor1.2.1-mod.xpi

This version is for SeaMonkey 1.1 only. It will not work properly in 1.0, 1.5a, nor in 2.0a
attachmentextractor0.9.1.1-mod.xpi

Attachment Sizes

Attachment Sizes adds the ability to see attachment sizes:

  1. in the attachment box of messages.
  2. in the attachment box of the compose window.

Install Attachment Sizes for Seamonkey 2.0 and Thunderbird 3.0:

AttachmentSizes-0.0.9-mod.xpi

Install Attachment Sizes for Seamonkey 1.0 and 1.1:
attachment_sizes-0.0.8.xpi
attachment_sizes-0.0.5-mod.xpi

ConfigDate

ConfigDate allows you to configure the 'Date' column and displayed date in message header. In Thunderbird many people are confused because of the missing date from todays messages in the date column. By using ConfigDate, you're able to choose out of 5 different date formats.

To configure ConfigDate in SeaMonkey, select Edit —> Preferences... —> Mail & Newsgroups —> Date configuration

Note:

  • The 5 date formats are given by Thunderbird itself.
  • The date formats are depending on your systems/regions setting, too (e.g.: "25.08.2005 15:54" in Germany or "2005/08/25 15:54" in US).

Visit extensions homepage for more information including instructions to get the ISO date format, install instructions and a locales list: http://configdate.thunderbird-mail.de/index-en.php

Install ConfigDate for Seamonkey 2.0+:
configdate-0.7-mod.xpi (Updated for SuiteRunner)

Dictionary Switcher

Dictionary Switcher toggles between the installed dictionaries automatically or manually and displays the currently selected dictionary in the navigator status bar. This SeaMonkey port also contains the Dictionary Switcher for Thunderbird which displays the currently selected dictionary in the mailnews status bar and allows to change it.

Dictionary Switcher 1.3.1 is now compatible with SeaMonkey 1.1 and above. Please install the latest Dictionary Switcher from addons.mozilla.org at https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/dictionary-switcher/

Mod-Notes:

Version 0.8.2-mod: Updated the Thunderbird component to 1.1.3. Fixed a logic error that was causing errors in the Error Console.

Version 0.8.1-mod: Fixes breakage on SuiteRunner builds due to switching to the hunspell engine. I've also improved compatibility with SeaMonkey 1.0 builds.

Install Dictionary Switcher for Seamonkey:
dictionary_switcher-0.9-mod.xpi
dictionary_switcher-0.8.2-mod.xpi
dictionary_switcher-0.8.1-mod.xpi

dictionary_switcher-0.8-mod.xpi

Display Mail User Agent

Display Mail User Agent adds an image on the right side of the "header view" which displays the icon of the application with which the selected mail was written. So if the person who sent the mail used e.g. mozilla to send the mail, a mozilla icon will be displayed.

In feedback window the link to the website of that mail client is shown. And you can click on it.

Install Display Mail User Agent for Seamonkey 2.1+:

Duplicate Contact Manager

Duplicate Contact Manager searches for duplicate contact pairs and presents each pair to the user. The user can decide how to handle the pair.

Currently only one address book can be searched at a time. Users with multiple address books cannot search for duplicates between address books. This feature is planned for a future version.

Install Duplicate Contact Manager for Seamonkey 2.0 and Thunderbird 3.0:
duplicate_contact_manager-1.2-mod.xpi

Changes in this version:

  • Repacked in jar file format.
  • Updated install.rdf and chrome.manifest for SeaMonkey 2.0 and Thunderbird 3.0.
  • Split CSS for main overlay into a separate file.
  • Retained the GUID of Duplicate Contacts Manager 1 but incorporated the changes from Duplicate Contact Manager 2 by Alfred Peng and Valeryan_24@laposte.net.
  • Included the changes by iav (Igor Velkov) from his fork of Duplicate Contact Manager 2 on sourceforge.net.

Install Duplicate Contact Manager for Seamonkey 1.0 and 1.1:
duplicate_contact_manager-0.6-mod.xpi (SeaMonkey 1.0/1.1.* only).

Email This! Bookmarklet Extension

Email This! will send your recipient the link, title, & highlighted text of the page you are viewing using GMail, Google Apps GMail, Yahoo, Hotmail and Stand-Alone Mail Clients like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, & More! If you hate toolbar buttons don’t fret. I’ve included a right-click pop-up menu options and a menu on the main toolbar. Accesskeys are also an option.

Changes in this version: The Mailto option will open the integrated Mail client in SeaMonkey directly; and in Firefox it will invoke the internal Firefox API that opens an external mail client directly instead of the cumbersome and roundabout method currently used.

Install Email This! for Seamonkey:
email_this_bookmarklet_extension-2.0.0-fx.xpi (SuiteRunner Ready requires xSidebar).

Folder Account

Folder Account adds two very simple options. First, you can select which of your accounts will be used when composing, replying, or forwarding mail based on which folder is currently selected. An example where this could be useful is when two people share a set of folders. You could configure TB to set a different return address for you when you are working with your folders, and for the other user when they are using theirs. Alternatively, if you use a different mailing address for a mailing list, you can use this extension to set your return address appropriately when you working with the list's folder.

The second thing this extension does is allow you to set a default To address for newly composed messages based on which folder you are working in. This could be very useful for mailing lists – when you create a new message in the mailing list folder, your message would automatically be correctly addressed.

In both cases, if the current folder has no From address or To address specified, the extension will check the parent folder, so you can control the settings for an entire branch of your folder tree at one time.

Install Folder Account for Seamonkey 2.0:
folder_account-3.0-mod.xpi

Install Folder Account for Seamonkey:
folder_account-0.84-mod.xpi SuiteRunner Ready
folder_account-0.78-mod.xpi SuiteRunner Ready
folder_account-0.72-tb.xpi

Folder Flags

Folder Flags was born of the irritation that comes with having SpamAssassin deliver to a folder and watching that folder get scanned for spam by Thunderbird every time new mail arrives. By changing Thunderbird's internal flag per folder settings, I could finally get the scanning to stop and leave the mail alone.

You can set arbitrary flags on arbitrary folders, too. Mostly I think this makes the icons change, except the 'Junk' flag, which accomplishes what I described above. Right click on a folder in the main view and find 'Flags...' (if you're using the U.S. English version) to change flags on a certain folder. For SeaMonkey 2.0 and above, install the official version of Folder Flags from addons.mozilla.org:
https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/addon/1898

Install Folder Flags for Seamonkey 2.0:
folderflags-1.2-mod.xpi
folderflags-1.1-mod.xpi

Install Folder Flags for Seamonkey 1.1:

ImportExportTools (MboxImport)

Thunderbird, like many other email clients, uses the mbox format to archive email. It's curious that Thunderbird does not have a function that lets you import or export files in this format and this lack is sometimes a problem when you want to move the accounts from a pc to another one or when you want to migrate (for example) from Mozilla to Thunderbird.

MboxImport makes the import/export of mbox files very easy.

To import, you must select the destination folder, then right-click and choose the item "Import mbox file" from the menu "Import/export". To export, simply right-click on the folder or on the account and to choose the item you want from the menu "Import/export". The menu is also under "Tools".

ImportExportTools (MboxImport enhanced) now allows you to export and import messages with more flexibility, with the following options:

  • Tools Menu --> Import/Export in mbox/eml format
  • Context menu on folders panel --> Import/Export in mbox/eml format
    • export of folder in a single file (mbox format), with also the subfolders if you want;
    • export of all messages in single files (eml format);
    • export of all messages in single files (html or plain text format), with an index;
    • export of all messages in one single plain text file;
    • export of the index of the messages in a folder;
    • mbox files import;
    • eml files import;
    • import of all the eml files existing in a directory;
  • File menu --> Save selected messages
  • Context menu of thread panel --> Save selected messages
    • saving multiple messages in eml/html/plain text format with just a click;
  • Edit menu --> Copy message to clipboard
  • Context menu of thread panel --> Copy message to clipboard
    • copy the message with headers to clipboard.
  • Context menu on an EML attachment
    • import file in the folder

LookOut

LookOut is a plugin which allows will allow Thunderbird to interface with Microsoft's mail tools by decoding metadata and attachments encapsulated/embedded in a TNEF encoded attachment. The TNEF decoding engine was inspired (with permission) by the tnef.sf.net project.

From Wikipedia
Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format or TNEF is a proprietary e-mail attachment format used by Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server. An attached file with TNEF encoding is most usually called winmail.dat or win.dat and has a MIME type of Application/MS-TNEF.

There are a few tnef decoders out there that do an excellent job. One could simply use one of these decoders as a helper application. This extension was created for two reasons. The first being that LookOut allows you to see what files are hidden in the anonymous encapsulation (winmail.dat). The second reason is the realization that some lack the desire to opperate more than one or two nonintegrated applications and LookOut makes the decoding part of the application. I would throw up a screenshot but that would be useless as LookOut is designed to be in the shadows doing it's thing and not be seen.

It should be noted that TNEF encapsulations will put a higher net and proc load on the IMAP server (or any other server for that matter). This is because there is no way for the client to ask for a sub-part of the TNEF file (whereas it can ask for a MIME part). If the client is to extract any sub-parts of the TNEF part it will need them all.

For SeaMonkey version 2.0 and above please install LookOut from addons.mozilla.org:
https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/addon/lookout/

Install LookOut for Seamonkey:
lookout-1.2.3-mod.xpi (For SeaMonkey 1.0 and 1.1.* only. This version doesn't work in SuiteRunner)
lookout-1.2.1-mod.xpi (For SeaMonkey 1.0 and 1.1.* only. This version doesn't work in SuiteRunner)
lookout-1.2-mod.xpi (2007072301) (For SeaMonkey 1.0 and 1.1.* only. This version doesn't work in SuiteRunner)

MailClassifier

The MailClassifier extension helps you to move the email in the right folder, it uses bayesian filtering. When a new mail arrives, it's classified and the most probable folder it goes in is showed in the new classification column. If you agree with the classification, click on the hyperlink and the email will be moved in the respective folder. If the classification is wrong or these is no classification you can train the software showing the right classification.

Right Click -> Classification -> Change directory and Move -> Right Folder

If you select multiple emails and want to move each mail in it's respective folder

Right Click -> Classification -> Move
or
Tools -> Mailclassifier -> Move messages

Instead, if you want to classify all the message in the current folder use:

Tools -> Mailclassifier -> Classify all
