Mail Extensions Check and Send

Check and Send v2.0.0 is available. It is fully re-written in Mail Extensions mechanism to support forthcoming Thunderbird 78. It does not support Thunderbird 68.x. Please use it with Thunderbird 76 or up.

Download:

In the old versions (v1.0 series), warning is shown as modal dialog.
In this version, warnings are shown as a popup, instead of a modal dialog.
It is due to the limitation of Mail Extensions.


Usage is following:
  1. Write a message and send it as usual (in this time, the "?" button above is disabled)
  2. "?" button becomes active and the warning popup is shown
  3. Click the "Send" if you want to send the message. If not, click the "Cancel"

If the popup is closed without clicking the Send or Cancel button, you will do nothing about composing the message. In that case, click the "?" button. You will see the popup again and can choose Send or Cancel.

If you click Cancel, "?" button remains active. When you click the button again, the popup will appear but Send/Cancel buttons are missing. It can be used to check your modification of the message.

Options are available in the add-ons manager. Almost options are disabled by default. Please see the options first.





Please let me know if you find some problem.

Check and Send 2.0.1 is released. It fixes problem in recipient name correction.

ver 2.0.13 does not work with Thunderbird 78.2.2. No box to check & send. Left in limbo until you have to close & discard message. The only way it can send an email, is too diable the addon

Please check the "Check" button is put on the toolbar. If it occurs even if the button is placed correctly, please let me know messages in error console. I'd like to know errors related to background.js, popup.js and options.js.

I too have found that Check and Send no longer works (TB 78.4.0; Check and Send 2.0.13).

I set up the options and the "Check" button with question mark bubble is present on new message form. When "Check" is clicked, only get a large blank window with "Checking message ..." at top and nothing ever happens beyond that. Can click on "Send" and send message, but never get any recipient popup or anything else, just sends immediately. Not good.

It appears that none of the options set in the Add-ons tab in TB are honoured and, in fact, anything one sets disappears when that tab is closed. Going back to the options for Check and Send shows the default non-choices.

Any idea when this might get fixed or whether there is something we are doing wrong? This has been a great Add-on and I sure hate to see it go...

I wrote a message on 26 Oct 2020, that Check and Send 2.0.13 was not working on Thunderbird 78.4.0. It turns out that my installation of Thunderbird was faulty. After a complete uninstall and a clean install, Check and Send works as expected. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Upgraded to TB 78 in Windows 10 this morning. Check and Send (which always worked before) is now at 2.0.13 last updated today as well. When I push "Send," the send button grays out and that's it... nothing happens. No pop up. Message just sits there until I close the message window. It doesn't get sent.
I do not have a "Check" button. Should there be one?

I've received the similar reports but I cannot reproduce them.

I prepared v2.0.15a1 for test. Can you try it and let me know logs if the error still occurs.

I reported problem on Oct 30. I have since uninstalled Check_and_Send, downloaded 2.0.14 new from this site, and reinstalled it. Now it works fine. Good add-on. Thank you. [I didn't have to reinstall Thunderbird as per the post on Oct 27 above.]

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Check and Send. It now works except that it places the "sent" email into my inbox AND into my sent mail box. If I delete the email from my inbox, it also deletes it from my sent mail box. So in order to keep a record of my sent emails, I also have to keep a copy of each sent email in my inbox.

This is not working for me now. In fact I can't send emails with this extension enabled. When I press the Send button, a message box flashes in the top left corner (too fast to read) and the message is not sent. The Send button remains disabled (grey).
I'm using TB 78.4.2 and Check and Send 2.0.14
TB works fine if this extension is disabled.

Any help appreciated as Check and Send has been essential for me for many years.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that v2.0.14 works for me on TB 78.4.3 (Windows, 32-bit), whereas on v2.0.13 I had the same issue as anonymous ("send button grays out and that's it... nothing happens").

So, thanks! And thanks for the addon!

I've addressed a communication error between background and option/popup scripts in Check and Send.

Could you try v2.0.15a7 if you are in trouble with saving option or showing popup?
And I'm glad if you paste log here regardless the result.

Download v2.0.15a7:
https://hogi.sakura.ne.jp/en/downloadcgi.rhtml?chksend
You'll find v2.0.15a7 in the bottom of the page.

Mike said...

I installed version 2.0.15a7 as suggested above, and restarted TB for good measure. Still no change in behaviour as per my November 11 post, so still not working. Is there some debug log I can capture and post?

h.ogi said...

Thank you for the test.

Could you please post log here by the following instructions?

1. Open error console by Ctrl+Shift+J
2. Click the "gear" icon and confirm the "Show Content Messages" is checked
3. Confirm "Errors", "Warnings", "Logs", "Info" and "Debug" are enabled
4. Right-click on the log messages and click Export Visible Messages To -> Clipboard

After that, the log is copied to your clipboard. Please paste it as a comment here.
Please mask private information such as mail addresses if included.

h.ogi said...

If the log you submitted is not appear without error, it may be judged as a spam comment.
In that case, please let me know. I'll recover it.

Mike said...

This is all I get:
14:22:46.245 window.controllers/Controllers is deprecated. Do not use it for UA detection. 2 blank

Anything I can do?

h.ogi said...

I've investigated another possibility. Could you try v2.0.15a8?

Mike said...

Tried that, but no change in behaviour or in the warning message message in the error console.

h.ogi said...

New beta v2.1.0b1 is available.

In this version, the toolbar button is always enabled. This may solve the no popup issue.

If it still does not work, please try the "New window" option in the Popup Mode section. It is new option in this version. If you choose that, popup is shown as a new window, not a toolbar button popup.

Forgot to paste download link.

Hello.
I installed Thunderbird on Ubuntu (sudo snap install thunderbird) and added the extension.
In prefs.js file, began shows default options and values of "Check and send" extension.
For example:
user_pref("chksend.attach_size_limit", "0");
I changed value user_pref("chksend.attach_size_limit", "10");, but it not changed in the extension.
I created user.js file and add user_pref("chksend.attach_size_limit", "10"); line, but it not changed in the extension.
I use several extensions and always could change options from files prefs.js and user.js, but in "Check and send" extension I can't.
Can you help me?
