Review for Thunderbird Conversations by Jakob Malm
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Quite nice.
One problem: For conversations where I have replied to a mail but not received an answer back, it doesn't seem to be possible to get the GMail conversation view. Is this because of Thunderbird limitations (doesn't recognize as a conversation)? I would very much like this ability.
The add-on doesn't automatically recognize this as a conversation. This would add a lot of extra code which I don't want to start right now, as I need to improve other parts of the add-on. However, it is planned and will be done in a future version.
For those messages, right now, you can just customize the toolbar, add the "view full conversation" button and use this to switch to the conversation view.
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
