I just found, somehow, this Thunderbird addon, that adds columns (and other functionality) to the address book.  JOY

In other news, there needs to be a sort of Rent-A-Shopper service.  Not for "shop for me!", though, more like "I am pure-D daft at buying bras, halp".  Or similar.  $n/hour for exterior decoration expertise.  I'd totally pay for this service.

I'm moving back over to Thunderbird, now that I realise that I can script it better, and that I like it a lot better, than Outlook.

Question:

Is there a current way to tag, or something, contacts in the address book?  I have both my coworker contacts and my accounting contacts in there, and I'd like to be able to differentiate them.

Other suggestions welcome.

I want better filtering for Thunderbird.

Scenario: We get registration emails.  I want them shoved into a folder and ignored.  However, if the body of the email matches a few kinds of OR-based criteria, I want it left unread and in the Inbox, marked Important, and flagged.

It's annoying that I can't.

Is there an addon I could use for this?

Using Ubuntu, Thunderbird, IMAP.  Suddenly, for no reason I can see, I can't send email.  I can receive email, but I can't send it.

I can log into my webmail (Squirrelmail thingiedoodle) and send mail there, no worries.

The only thing I changed between yesterday and today is I set mailto in Firefox to run /usr/bin/thunderbird.  I clicked on an email address in FF which opened a new email window in Tbird.  Tried to send - nothing.

But I get email!

And the server for send and receive is the same!

What the hell!

Yall: what the hell?
