Extra Folder Columns

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Disclaimer: I'm a sucker for Thunderbird extensions. I wish there were more of them :) This add-on is very well-done, meaning that it has a professional, just-what's-needed UI that adds just about every piece of information about an e-mail as a potential column to be displayed and sorted on. I've already used it in a number of ways. I put 'account' as one of the columns for a smart folder that transcends a single account, for example.

The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is that I believe 95% of Mozilla add-ons should have allow the user to select preferences. In this case, it could be as simple as choosing which extra folder columns to list and which to exclude. Granted -- this isn't critical but I imagine that most users prefer to have some control over add-ons, even if they aren't entirely necessary. Overall, a nice addition to Thunderbird and I'm going to check out what else these author's have to offer. Thanks, guys!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1).

My question is how this is different than the 'Star' feature that comes built-in to Thunderbird. I basically use those like bookmarks and I think that's the intention, since you can flag an email with a star and then see all those in the 'Starred' folder. I guess, with bookmarks, you get the added bonus of categorization? But, I would prefer to use the tags since those are useful throughout the application.
