GMailUI

Add concepts inspired by GMail to Thunderbird, like archiving mail and powerful message searching across all folders. Select a folder to be your sole "archive" folder, or choose to have an archive folder in each of your multiple accounts. Then type "Y" to send your selected message(s) to the appropriate archive folder. Type "from:fred to:tom" to see all messages from Fred to Tom in the current view. Press Ctrl+Enter to have this search apply to all folders.

Supported versions: Thunderbird 0.8 - 1.5.0.* ALL

Notes / Comments: You do not need a GMail account to use this extension. It adds some GMail inspired features to your existing accounts.Please visit the extension home page to learn how to properly configure GMailUI to point to your archive folder(s), and to choose "Expression" searching for powerful searching options.If you are having trouble using this extension, please let me know (from GMailUI home page or directly by writing to gmailui@longshot.com) .Version 0.5-----------* Improves expression searching * Use "b" as a shortened version of the "body" operator. * Adds a new search operator, "attachment:" or "a:", which searches formessages that do or do not have attachments. Notice that it does not search for attachment names, just whether or not they exist. You might search for messages with attachments using: "a:y", "a:yes", or "a:1". Or search for messages without attachments using: "-a:y" or "a:no".* Improves archiving configuration * There are now two ways to configure your archive folder. * As before, you can specify a name for a folder that needs to exist in each mail account you have. Essentially this allows you to have an archive folder for each of your accounts, though it needs to have the same name in each account. * A new configuration allows you to pick a single folder on one account that you want all messages from all accounts to be archived into.* Internationalization * French language support now exists.
