I'm sorry but however good this addon is I can't use it - it puts a banner ad across the bottom of the screen with a flashing (!) "buy license".

This sort of thing should disqualify addons from being listed in the addon store IMO and I'll be petitioning for that with the Thunderbird community.

The addon seems in general to be alright, but I don't want shitty advertising distracting me when I'm trying to read emails.

Not sure how I'm supposed to reply, but I deinstalled. There was no facility shown as to how to cancel the banner, it was permanently shown when the addon is installed default. I wasn't using a premium feature, clearly I can't without buying a license. I did have a hack of the css to turn off the banner, but am not interested in using addons in that way - if you want to write addons that constantly flash on screen, that's your prerogative. It is FOSS and so a little adjusting of the css can remove it (and the code on github seems like licensing could be removed relatively easily) but I'd be wary of software written in that way, so I'm not sure it's for me.

Just to make it clear, I wasn't aware of using a premium feature, I just used the default install, I didn't activate anything unless it was a "drive by" install.

The notification could not be removed, there was no cancel button. The perpetually flashing "buy license" button was preventing me working.

Good luck to you; I appreciate you've created a good addon, but I wasn't looking for nagware or flashing ads.

I suspect this is to do with Mozilla starting to change the way addons work, but sadly it's no longer working for me either.
