Unfortunately, it only works with restrictions and probably only for users who only manage one or two mail accounts with very few emails. Because if there are (significantly) more accounts and emails, QNote needs up to 45 seconds until the corresponding marking for an email appears if you have marked the corresponding email with the mouse.
Independent of this and probably related to the first problem is the fact that you cannot tell from a list of emails which email has a note.
Actually, a note is supposed to counteract human forgetfulness. But if I don't remember which email I left a note in and whether I left it at all, that's of very little use to me...

Dear Martin,
I have no reason to complain. After all, you are providing it for free. Therefore, my text above should be seen as constructive criticism.
However, I see it from the user's perspective without any significant programming knowledge. For me as a user it is not clear why something does not work as expected. All I can say is that this is the case (for me).
However, I now use a similar product from a competitor. Although this cannot create an extra column due to the restrictions in TB115.x, But it does offer the option of setting a keyword and colored marking in parallel when creating a note so that I see a eMail with a note on the 1st view in a bunch of hundreds.
But what is much more important is that this competitor's product displays this note _immediately_ and without any noticeable delay when I click on an email with a note.
Just don't use it with TB115. TB115 introduced breaking API changes (yet again).

Super extension qui m'a permis de retrouver mes notes XNote++ (non compatible TB115*).
J'espère que la recherche rapide dans les notes reviendra sur de futures versions...

a pity however with this 115.3.1 (and unfortunately not the only problem with this version...
Thanks!
Indeed. I already downgraded back to 102.

Excellent. However, the date and time formatting rules do not all work. For ex: h does not show 12 hour format with leading zeros; it shows "h" ... a shows as "a" not lowercase am or pm etc. (more do not work). A seemingly small annoyance for some; for others it is important.
I submitted an issue on Github.
Thanks for review. These letters are not implemented (yet) as shown in settings.

Love this addon very practical and help a lot with my work emails. The only thing i noticed with thunderbird update 115.3.1 (64-bit) when i filtered or searched messages i had the option to select qnote so it can search the notes as well whereas now i dont have that option no more

Hi! Please send details and full requirement list to [email protected] and I will see what can be done.

Great plugin but unfortunately it stopped working with TB Supernova 115.1.1
Thanks for review! It does work but not all features are available in v115. You can put blame on TB for removing bunch of stuff in v115. Here is more information:

A very nice addition but I have one remark about refreshing the added note icon in the email list. We use three computers and notes are stored on a network drive. If I add a note on one computer, only after closing and opening thunderbird on the other computer I see the added note icon in the email list. In the XNote add-on, the icons of added notes refresh immediately in the email list on all computers (no need to close and reopen thunderbird).

Wow I love this thing ! It's almost exciting!
You even thought of export for safety. You're a lord!
I really wish Windows had a similar thing for folders.

Great addon. I would love to have the notes stored as emal headers on the IMAP server so that several people mounting the mailbox share the notes (use case : support team, avoiding simultaneous access).
It did crash TB 102.7.1 until I removed the storage folder so it got started fresh.
Please use github for issue reporting.

Thank YOU!

QNOTE++ has been working perfectly fine for me in the past. Unfortunately with TB 102 Beta 1 it's broken. Could you please make it functional again? Contribution is on its way. Thank you
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.11.1).Better way to put this is not QNote is broken, but rather they broke extensions API (again) :/
P.S.
Thanks for donation!

Nice, simple, helpful.

Notes are not "shareable" across IMAP, correct? It would be really SUPER if I could place notes on a message that would be viewable by other users on the same IMAP account.
But great product! Love it!
This is out of QNote use case. You can always share messages via shared folder. Adding IMAP manipulations would bloat up code base, hard to debug, introduce nasty bugs due various IMAP implementations floating around, etc.

It is great, but does not work well with Nostalgy++ extension. I cannot write into the floating panel (nothing happens), but Nostalgy grabs the keystrokes. If I change it to "Popup window", it works well, but this popup always pops up in the center of the screen and positioning does not work.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.10.4).You can bump Nostalgy++ author to apply a fix:

First I got no keyboard focus, then I restarted TB and after several tries the keyboard focus was back. But now the Qnote is not resizable and not movable, see issue #19
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.10.4).Do not use reviews section to report issues. You can do it here: https://github.com/mlazdans/qnote/issues
P.S.
Just updated to TB 91.3.0 and it works just fine so open an issue and give a comprehensive description.

Just installed . . .
So far -- so great! The buttons are there. The context menu is there. Display columns are showing. I can enter notes. BTW I like "Use ESC to close note without saving". (I would like a tiny OK button, next to the trash can?) I like that notes are displayed below the headers in the main message panel.
Thank you!
