I wanted to start up a new thunderbird plugin project. I require 3 plugins. 1) extension developer. Its amazingly easy to install a dev build with this. 2) firebug. yes even for thunderbird. 3) firechrome. This gives me direct access to my running code.
I prefer working with Mozilla based apps over Google's chrome.
My first thunderbird extension. Texport is a plugin that allows you to export your email data using a template. The template are
EJS. Texport also can export the contacts from a set of emails. Action can be taken on folder or selected emails.
Plugin to thunderbird that allows you to export your contact
information or message bodies to text files. This is enabled
in two menus. The first is the folder level menu. This will
preform the action on ever message in the folder. For larger
folders this can take a long time. I exported 19k message in
2 hours. The second is in the message panel level. Highlight
one or more messages to preform the actions on.
