My Reviews

Nostalgy++/ Manage, search and archive emails

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Life saving! I can't understand why TBird didn't think of this.

Every once in awhile, TBird does something naughty that keeps Nostalgy from working. The latest is that TBird assigns a bunch of ordinary keys (like S, C) to functions that I have no use for (S = toggle the star on a msg--I don't even show the star column). As it happens, another user (FS?) has a fix, which I repeat here (and thanks to him/her!!!):
--------
I solved my problem via the Thunderbird configuration editor and passing the following 2 parameters to False:
- accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled
- ui.key.textcontrol.prefer_native_key_bindings_over_builtin_shortcut_key_definitions

Quick Folder Move

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

As others have commented, not as useful as Nostalgy, but Nostalgy doesn't work with TB 78 (which I was forcibly updated to). What's missing you ask? (glad you asked!) The ability to include folder dividers ('/') in the name. I have many "leaf" folders with the same name, let's say "house" is such a folder name. With Nostalgy, I can type 'Virginia/house' (or just 'ia/ho') and get the folder I want; or I can type 'Maryland/house' (or just 'and/ho' etc.) and get that folder. With QFM, I can either type the parent folder, or the daughter folder, but not both.

The UI also doesn't make it clear whether I'm moving or copying, which can be confusing.
