Thanks for the list Martin.

Personally, I also like this add-on: http://eagleeye.sourceforge.net

It lets you sort your contacts according to their gender, the number of messages sent/received, if they are colleagues or not etc.
It also shows you your “email sinks” (people who hardly every replay) and who you still need to reply to yourself.

Is there an add-on for displaying POP session messages or other diagnostic info?

I’m kinda new to Thunderbird, and I was disappointed that it had less troubleshooting info than Outlook Express. For example, OE would show you the total size of messages to be downloaded, and would produce an error message on un-clean terminations of the POP session.

In TB2, POP sessions seem to end un-cleanly with the normal new-mail sound.

TB2’s “error console” doesn’t seem to include messages abt POP.

Am I missing something?

I’m not sure how the DoD extension made mention at all. Only a small portion of Tbird users would work for DoD… how does that make it one of the “most useful” (to the general populace, implied)?

Other than that, nice list.

Great article. Readers might also consider these, which I find indispensable:

Magic SLR - Adds buttons to download mail from all accounts

Quickfolders - Creates a toolbar to which you can drag mail folders; you can use drag and drop to place incoming messages into the appropriate folder easily.

Copy sent to current and Show InOut - Copies replies to the active folder so you can see immediately how you responded

CuteMenus - Crystal SVG Adds nice-looking icons to TB menus. Useless, but cool.

Ahhha I was waiting for this post, since years. Everybody talks about Firefox Extensions… but Thunderbird Extensions go un-noticed
