EnForward for Thunderbird 78 is coming ...

I decided not to convert EnForward, which forwards messages to Evernote, for Thunderbird 78 (MailExtensions) once. However, because I've received some update requests, I reconsider the plan.

I've started to work to make EnForward compatible with Thunderbird 78. Its feasibility was confirmed and core code was migrated into MailExtensions. I think the first beta will be available in a couple of week.

[2020/8/3]

EnForward 2.0.0 is released.

Disappearance of Tag Toolbar

Some users reported Tag Toolbar v1.0.0 shows an empty toolbar suddenly as the following screenshot.

It has not reproduce on my environment so the image was taken by removing all elements in the toolbar. It may be a little bit different from the actual case.

I have also experienced that issue while I developed Tag Toolbar v1.0.0, which was the reason of delay of Thunderbird 68 compatible Tag Toolbar.

It did not occur by changing the way of XUL overlay. So I thought it was resolved.

So far, the followings are the common in the bug reports:

• QuickFolders add-on is installed
• It works fine at the first time but it does not after restart of Thunderbird

As described the top of the post, I have not been able to reproduce the issue yet. However, by considering the situation, I doubt cache mechanisms of Thunderbird.

So, I implemented an experimental option to disable the cache in Toolbar 1.0.1b4.

Can you try it if you have the problem?

It may make start of Thunderbird slower. In case the option arises a problem on your environment, it can be disabled by the Tag Toolbar option. Uncheck the "Disable XUL cache mechanisms of Thunderbird".

Technically, it configures as follows:

• execute nsIXULRuntime.invalidateCachesOnRestart()
• set "nglayout.debug.disable_xul_cache" preference to true

"noreply" checking is added to Check and Send

Check and Send 1.1.00b5 and up have noreply checking.

If account name includes noreply or no-reply, show recipients check warning with the address unchecked. You need not to uncheck manually.

Forwarding emails to Evernote (New add-on!)

I've created new add-on for Thunderbird: EnForward.

Evernote has an email forwarding functionality. This add-on acts as a front-end program for the feature. If you want to save emails to Evernote, select them and invoke "Forward to Evernote" in the context menu. Then, it sends them to Evernote with note title, notebook(@ operator) and tags(# operator) information you set up in advance.

And if you invoke "Forward to Evernote" menu with pressing Shift key, emails will be send with "+" operator; they are appended to note with the same title. Please note notebook and tags settings are ignored in this case.

I hope you enjoy this extension.

It is under beta testing now. For the latest beta, please refer to the following page:
http://hogi.sakura.ne.jp/hiki/?Ticket-225

Note: Before you use it, you need to specify your Evernote Email. See the image below.

Google Contacts 0.7b4

Google Contacts 0.7b4 is available for download. This will be the last beta for v0.7.

In this version, you can bind a main phone in Google to mobile phone in Thunderbird. Under the configuration, when you edit mobile phone in Thunderbird, main phone in Google will be changed, and vice versa. The option is in the Conversion tab in the option dialog. Find the section as the following image:

Google Contacts 0.7b3

Google Contacts 0.7b3 is available for download. It fixes the following bugs in 0.7b2:

• Fail to sync when a card is copied from another address book
• Fail to sync when all of the following are blank: First Name, Last Name, Display Name, and Nickname

Google Contacts 0.7b2

Google Contacts 0.7b2 is available for download. It fixes the following bugs in 0.7b1:

• Phone numbers are not synchronized
• Batch operation does not work
• Adding a contact with Interactive mode does not work
• Fail to edit a card whose change was submitted to Google before

Google Contacts 0.7b1

Google Contacts 0.7b1 is now available. As many users have reported, Google Contacts 0.6.xx do not work with Thunderbird15 and after. 0.7b1 is the first beta that addresses the compatibility issue.

In addition to the fix, 0.7b1 supports various IM account: Google Talk, AIM, Yahoo!, Skype, QQ, MSN, ICQ, Jabber.

Please try it!

Reducing memory usage of Google Contacts

Sorry for the silence for a few months. I've not had enough time to writing extensions. It still goes on but I'll update them little by little when I find time.

Now Google Contacts 0.6.41b1 is available. I found a possibility of memory leak and tried to fix it in the version. I don't know it can resolve memory usage issue reported many users completely. But I'm glad if you can test it and post a comment here.

Google Contacts 0.6.41b1:

Removing duplicated contacts

Unfortunately, Google Contacts is not stable enough yet and sometimes creates many duplicates. As a workaround for the issue, I've added a function to remove duplicates. Please note it is an experimental function. Try Google's one first and then, if Google cannot remove them, try Google Contacts.

The function checks primary email, second email and display name. If all of them are the same among some contacts, they are recognized as duplicates and removed. It is available in v0.6.40b4. Again, please try it carefully.

Invoke the function from drop down menu of toolbar icon

Google Contact 0.6.39 and 0.6.40beta

New Google Contacts are available: v0.6.39 and v0.6.40beta. As I posted before, Google Contacts has a problem in photo sync. So, I decided to release v0.6.39 before finishing work for freezing problem. It will be addressed in v0.6.40.

Unfortunately, after I released v0.6.39, a bug was found in a group sync; it was reported by some users as Ticket-80 in Issue Tracking System. It was fixed in v0.6.40b1 and later. But v0.6.40 includes modifications for the performance issue and need more test. So, please use it carefully if you use v0.6.40beta and please let me know if you find a problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Photo sync problem with Thunderbird 7

Google Contacts fails to retrieve photos from Google.The Error Console shows the following message:

Google Contacts 0.6.39b2

The second beta of v0.6.39 is available. It will lower memory usage a little. Please try it and please let me if it improves the performance or not. Thanks!

Freezing problem of Google Contacts

I've received many reports about freezing of Google Contacts. But it is very hard to find a problem and fix it because I don't have huge amount of contacts as you have. I've tried to go one step forward this issue in v0.6.39 and the first beta is available now.

Please try it and let me know the result.
