<p>I would like to nominated my Add-on QuickFolders, which is
one of the highest rated "Pure mail" Add-on on Thunderbird. <br>
</p>
<p>Extension Name: QuickFolders - I am the developer, took it
over from Alexander Malfait 9 years ago.</p>
<p>It has wide consumer appeal (about 20k permanent users) and
has gotten a lot of user engagement - I am getting mails
weekly / daily of my users with both praise and suggestions
for improvement. It has been featured in c't magazine as part
of the best Thunderbird add-ons on their cover mount DVD Rom
13/2009. <br>
</p>
<p>As it augments navigation for users who like a folder based
hierarchy (many folders) I believe it is the most superior way
of navigating / managing many emails. It's basic premise is to
stop using the folder tree for navigation and not being
reliant on filtering for finding emails. One thing that is not
optimal is vertical scrolling when dragging emails, so
QuickFolders helps by using a multi-dimensional, menu-based
paradigm. On top of that the concept is very easy to grasp. It
fully support drag and drop for folders and emails, highly
simplifying moving of folders and emails.<br>
</p>
<p>It has been since copied by Postbox and gmail (tab-based
views / favorite folder bar), but not to the extreme
configurability given by QuickFolders. On top of that it
includes folder icon customization, a reading list and a
quickMove / quickJump feature (similar to Nostalgy) for
keyword based navigation. There is a full support site with
email which is usually answered within the day (typically
within 3 hours) and a bug database on mozdev.org. <br>
</p>
<p>I have also added a number of educational videos
demonstrating the functionality at on my Thunderbird Daily
YouTube channel:<br>

<p>where I also highlight some of my other Add-ons
(SmartTemplate⁴, quickFilters and QuickPasswords).</p>
<p>The main reason why I can dedicate so much time to the Add-on
is the fact that I started to monetize it after getting a few
larger donations. Apparently people do connect a large value
to this (a few 50$ donations for a "free as in beer" Add-on
convinced me that I should take it more seriously). I am of
the firm belief that only monetization can solve the problem
"long term interest" for large complex software projects that
are forced to be updated regularly. I have supported many
Add-on authors in their project and find there is a proclivity
to give up if there is no monetary gain involved.<br>
</p>
<p>thanks for considering my suggestion,<br>
Axel<br>
