Additional hints
To properly recognize emails as sent, make sure to configure all email addresses you write from as identities for your email account. You can do so under account settings > select your account > click button more identities at the bottom and add or modify identities as you need. Use the add-on options to define identities for local accounts.
Also keep in mind, that the processing of large mailboxes can take a lot of time.
Privacy and Security
ThirdStats runs entirely locally and will never contact, send or sell data to, any third-parties.
ThirdStats features require Thunderbird permissions to function, but will always seeks to minimise permissions where possible, and use granular permissions where available [1]:
- Accounts: Access accounts and identities (read-only)
- Downloads: Export and download data as a file
- Messages: Access messages to create statistics (read-only)
- Storage: Store processed data (cache) for performance. Can be cleared or disabled at any time.
[1] Example: Thunderbird Permissions API does not currently provide for reading only message headers, instead of the entire email (including the body).
See the Security Policy for details how ThirdStats values your privacy.
