Enhancements
- The menu font size can now be changed for all popup menus, independently of the button font. [issue 394]
- Folder menus now support Thunderbird compact mode - this will be helpful for tabs with many subfolders. [issue 396]
- You can now also change the font size of the folder tabs in 'Apple Pills' theme.
- Improved coloring and layout for Apple theme.
- Display localized license expiry date in registration dialog (not as YYYY-MM-DD).
Bugfixes
- Fixed: quickJump switched to matching single mail tab instead of jumping to Folder in current tab.
[issue 389] - Fixed navigation bar (current folder bar) positioning when switching between classic and vertical layout.
[issue 395] - Also made sure that current folder tab layout is changed when a different theme is selected.
- Resolved keyboard collision with quick filter toolbar; typing [Shift]+[F] and [Shift]+[M] in the search bar triggered the quickJump search.
[issue 392] - Repaired: set keyboard focus back to thread pane after quickmove
- QuickFolders did not detect if quickFilters assistant started automatically. This is now working even if quickFilters gets restarted from extension manager. [issue 397]
Miscellaneous
- Retired option to set QuickFolders toolbar position. [issue 380]
- After the license has been viewed via the menu "check license status", now the "renew license" button is reset for the session and returned to normal toolbar appearance (special coloring / message is removed)
Known Issues
- Number shortcuts not working - move mail with Option+Shift+Number (Note that [ALT] shortcuts are already taken by Thunderbird, so we need to use CTRL (Windows, Linux) or OPTION (Apple) as modifier to activate tabs.

Enhancements
- Tabs for unified folders (such as Unified Inbox) now support showing the actual folders, renamed to their account names.
- Fixed integration of main toolbar with single message tab / Select current folder in toolbar when switching to single mail tab. [issue 374]
- Redesigned menu icons and fixed a number of issues in the options screen - icons had some problems changing to dark themes. If you experience missing colors in QuickFolders settings, you can enable the about:config setting <tt> svg.context-properties.content.enabled = true </tt>
- Added internal configuration Option to close tab after mail is moved from single message view. To activate the new option, set <tt>extensions.quickfolders.quickMove.singleTab.autoClose</tt>. [issue 375]

Known Issues
- Skip to next unread folder - this still needs some fixing as it may skip unread mails in the next unread folder. We are looking for a replacement function for something that isn't accessible in Thunderbird 115 anymore.

Functionality converted to Thunderbird 115
- Rewritten QuickFolders toolbar to show in a different element (SuperNove wants all buttons displayed in their new Unified toolbar). All Folder menus remain as xul items for now as they are difficult to recreate in HTML. The new main styling including custom icons in the QuickFolders tab has been implemented.
- Following the Firefox model, Thunderbird 115 allows only one single action button (I am currently negotiating with the thunderbird team to allow more optional buttons) I decided to add the toolbar toggle button to the unified toolbar. With this the QuickFolders toolbar can be hidden temporarily.
When you install QuickFolders in Tb115 for the first time, all Add-on buttons are added on the top right - you may move it by right-clicking the unified toolbar and selecting customize. - Recent Folders had to be rewritten.
- Drag & Drop was broken and had to be fixed.
- Rewritten the event listeners in folder tree (drag and drop)
- The Navigation toolbar (a.k.a. Current Folder Bar) in center screen had to be reimplemented because there are now multiple 3pane documents / windows (one for each Thunderbird tab) Also I am now hiding unneccesary elements of the toolbar when it is displayed in the single message tab or single message window.
- Implemented main toolbar buttons (Show QuickFolders toolbar) as Unified toolbar action button.
- Storage of QuickFolders category per tab is now implemented with the new tab sessions API.
- Most of the icons in the options window have been redesigned as svg graphics for a modernized look and feel. Also, dark theme support has been improved. Issues / Open Points
- New CSS rules for folder tree icons: as the folder tree has been rewritten as HTML list, we cannot use the foldertreeitem.getProperties function to store this information anymore. Instead we need an new method to store this information separately - and then rules for styling the folders have to be recreated. This may take a little while - I am considering writing a tool to extract the information from older versions of Thunderbird (91 or 102) so they can be migrated to 115 later.
- Toolbar buttons Create folder, Skip Folder can currently not be added (because the mail toolbar is gone and unified toolbar only allows noe single button per Add-on)
- When a QuickFolders Tab is selected, Thunderbird still needs to scroll the folder tree to that folder.

Version 5.16.1
I am currently working on the conversion of the QuickFolders Addon for the new Thunderbird SuperNova UI. This will be implemented in the next major version of Thunderbird 115 in Summer 2023.

Maintenance Fixes
Version 5.15.2:
will not trigger quickFilters assistant multiple times anymore when dropping multiple mails to a tab. Version 5.15.1:
A regression in v5.15 caused all text in popup menus (subfolders / commands) to appear missing for most users. This was because of the default size of 0 being falsely applied as a literal value. [issue 333] Version 5.15.2 (WIP):
The quickFilters assistant was triggered multiple times when dropping multiple mails to tab or multiple mails are moved using quickMove. This new version will move emails together, as long as they come from an identical source folder. This should prevent multiple assistant windows in the majority of use cases. [issue 335]

- [issue 283] Slowdown of Thunderbird 102 with QuickFolders
There is some inefficiency in the Thunderbird code base for the folder tree which can be exascerbated by QuickFolders. I have removed as many function calls as I could find without impacting on functionality. On startup some right-click menus have to be generated to make drag+drop, these are now generated at a later stage to yield some time to the User Interface.
- [issue 279] Fixed: Thunderbird 102 - current category is not remembered / selected; in this solution I store the current category of each tab (folder and messages) whenever a tab is opened / moved or closed. Information is only stored for one single window, so it might get confused if you open multiple windows with different categories per tab. It works reasonably for most general uses of QuickFolder categories.
- [issue 280] Folder tree icons did not work independently of tabs in Thunderbird 102.
- [issue 284] Recent folders menu doesn't show or takes a very long time in Thunderbird 102 - There is some inefficent code in Thunderbird 102 at the moment, so I have started to use their own internal function to generate this.
- [issue 287] Fixed the removal of invalid (orphaned) tabs through the tool menu command "remove invalid tabs". Also renamed it for clarity: this used to be called "find orphaned tabs"

Maintenance Version 5.10.3 - 14/07/2022
[issue 281] this maintenance version will be able to reconstruct tabs after upgrading from Thunderbird 91 to 102 even if the server and username have been modified due to bug 1573690. The previous version failed with reconstructing these on IMAP folders.
To automatically rebuild (and avoiding invalid tabs) is only possible if 5.10.1 was previously run on an older profile (Thunderbird 91 or older)
If you already upgraded to Thunderbird 102 previously and still have invalid tabs, you can follow the detailed instructions at the last comment on [issue 281]

Version 5.10.2
Maintenance Version 5.10.2 - 07/07/2022
[issue 281] 5.10.2 - this maintenance version will be able to reconstruct tabs after upgrading from Thunderbird 91 to 102 even if the server and username have been modified due to bug 1573690. To successfully reconstruct (and avoiding invalid tabs) is only possible if 5.10.1 was previously run on an older profile (Thunderbird 91 or older)
If you already upgraded to Thunderbird 102 previously and experience invalid tabs, you can now generate troubleshooting information via right-click QuickFolders Commands / Tab Specific Properties... This will copy the assumed account and the (invalid) folder URI to the clipboard.
For reference you can click on any real folder in the folder tree and then SHIFT+Click on the QuickFolders tool icon, then select Debug / Copy current folder info! This will copy the account and correct expected URI to the clipboard. By comparison of these data points it I can fix your folders through exporting the folder configuration and then text search+replace the differing URIs (or by simply inserting the correct account) Fixed the missing close [x] icon on the advanced tab properties panel, which is hidden by style changes in Thunderbird 102. Fixed icon coloring for the tools and QuickFolders Command menus in dark mode (Thunderbird 102).

Maintenance Version 5.10.1 - 05/07/2022
- [issue 281] 5.10.1 - this maintenance fix stores the account id for every tab.
When upgrading to Thunderbird 102, this can potentially rename the servers due to bug 1573690 - then the account can be used for reconstruction of invalid folders. I am currently working on code that can help in fixing this problem automatically. - Fixed icon spacings in folder popup menus in Tb102.
Thunderbird 102 Specific changes
- Known Issue:</h4>
- [issue 281] Updating to Thunderbird 102 can generate invalid tabs - make sure to backup prefs.js before updating in order to correct this problem more easily. Some accounts in your profile may be affected, so it is a good idea to mitigate this problem.
- Increasing maximum TB version for next ESR - Thunderbird 102.* is planned to be supported from now on. Also increased minimum version to 91.0 - because of new APIs 78 will not be supported with new features / bugfixes.
- Fixed repair folder code.
- Fixed support site links in Options Dialog.
- [issue 272]Implemented new folder listener interface. The new version of Thunderbird implements a different folder listener interface. This meant a lot of functions (such as updating URLs when renaming folders and updating their connected tabs or updating unread counts on the tabs) were broken.
Improvements
- [issue 263] If Preferences are open in inactive Tab, clicking the options button now activates it.
- Added title to preferences tab.
Bug Fixes
- [issue 265] Reading list: If an email cannot be found due to an invalid / deleted folder, QuickFolders wasn't displaying the search dialog.
- [issue 262] Fixed: Recent folders on Navigation Bar (Current folder toolbar) outdated when dragging emails
- Fixed: support mail to... description in options dialog
- [issue 268] Fixed: Current Folder Bar" doesn't show updated subfolders when left-clicked
Miscellaneous
- Removed legacy settings dialog and associated menu item
- Removed legacy code (supportsMap, nsIMutableArray, MailServices.copy.CopyFolders)

5.9.1 Maintenance Improvments
Simplified recent folders menu behavior for keyboard navigation.
[issue 254] The new "=" key of quickMove/quickJump shows an arrow to visit child folders which means that the folder itself cannot be opened with keyboard only (by pressing the enter key), which forced the user to use the mouse, impeding the workflow.
I have decided to instead not show subfolders for these recent folders as it doesn't add much value for what essentially should be a repeat operation. I have also extended this to the other recent folders menus (e.g. on the recent folders tab).
The old behavior (of showing subfolders) can still be restores by setting the config setting <tt>extensions.quickfolders.recentfolders.subfolders = true</tt>
[issue 252] Fixed: Tabs with invalid folder address can break search results. This can happen if you exclude accounts from the search after recreating a profile with different spelling.
[issue 255] Fixed: CTRL Right-clicking on the active folder can create multiple instances of the folder commands submenu.

- [issue 241] using quickJump / quickMove via shortcut - hitting Enter will now always select the last successful location (even when the name is ambiguous) and not the top item of the menu. To use the first item of the menu using Enter the menu hast to be visible - either by starting to type or pressing arrow-down.
- [issue 242] Use '=' key for folders from recent quickMove / quickJump operations
When using the quickMove or quickJump search box you can now access folders of its previous jump / move operations by typing "=" as the first character. - [issue 236] Convert options dialog to pure HTML. Amon other things, this fixes the color pickers that have stopped working on Mac. Long term, all Dialogs and User Interfaces need to be converted to HTML
to become future proof and pure API based. There are still things that cannot be done with HTML right now (such as folder dropdowns that aren't cut off at the toolbar borders), so this is an ongoing effort for the predictable future.

- [issue 232] Fixed: When Adding a category to a tab, another category may be replaced

Bug Fixes + Miscellaneus (5.8.1)
- [issue 211] Fixed: move Folders in quickMove fails in Thunderbird 91. You can now again drag (multiple) folders from the tree to the quickMove button in order to relocate them. Or use the Shortcut Shift+M if you have a QuickFolders Pro license.
- [issue 203] Fixed: When the quickFilters Add-on activates its assistant, all icons on left to the tabs on the QuickFolders toolbar turned white.
- [issue 209] Fixed: Tabs in Options Dialog become illegible in Thunderbird 91 when using dark themes with bright text.
- Fixed: In Thunderbird 91, background area behind current folder toolbar does not show correct background color from lightweight theme, even when lightweight support is enabled.
- Fixed: The History Tab was not displayed anymore when updating QuickFolders.

- [issue 208] Upgrade from TB 78 to 91.1.2 sometimes leads to invalid / "orphaned" tabs.
For the moment, you should be able to resolve these by clicking a tab with the "broom" / invalid icon or by running the tool command "Find Orphaned tabs".

For the moment, you should be able to resolve these by clicking a tab with the "broom" / invalid icon or by running the tool command "Find Orphaned tabs".
Should this not give the desired results, then you can export your tabs via the license tab or on the Advanced tab using the [Copy Tabs] button and send me the file so I can help you fix this.

Maintenance Release - 5.7.1
Improvements - 5.7
Bug Fixes + Miscellaneus
- Fixed in 5.7.2: When quickFilters activates its assistant, all icons on left to the tabs will be white
- Added max version (Thunderbird 91.*) as mandated by new policies on ATN.
Maintenance Release - 5.7.1
- [issue 199] Fixed: when looking for parent folders using the syntax parent/parent/searchfolder, parent folder's with only a single character length name were not included.
- [issue 197] Instructions on empty toolbar get duplicated on folder change.
- Removed "workaround" experimental APIs (notifications, accounts)
Improvements - 5.7
- [issue 114] Make QuickFolders compatible with Thunderbird 91. (ESR 2021/22)
This is the list of issues found and fixed so far:- Fixed the missing (and badly styled) [Buy License] button at the bottom of the options dialog. This is done by loading a separate style sheet link element into the shadow DOM.
- Fixed: showing the debug settings (and other advanced settings) via a small window that filters "about:config" stopped working in Tb91.
- Fixed: missing icons on sliding notification bars
- Removed deprecated fixIterator constructs
- [issue 189] Fixed: No longer able to move a message by dropping it on a quick folder tab. The function copyMessages was renamed in Tb91
- [issue 190] Fixed dragging the envelope from current folder toolbar (Navigation bar)
- [issue 187] Implement a QuickFolders Standard License. There will be now 2 licenses Pro and Standard, and the unfunded version will have a few restrictions. Most importantly, no more than 10 tabs are supported without any license. This is necessary in order to fund ongoing and future work so that the Add-on won't be lost to all users when Thunderbird moves away from experimental APIs. Standard Features will be listed here.
- [issue 184] Update Notice - [What's New] button is badly visible when using different QF theme than flat style.
- Ongoing work of Rewriting code to use APIs instead of Thunderbird's internal functions see [issue 147] for up to date detail.
Bug Fixes + Miscellaneus
- [issue 166] 3rd party themes - Current folder toolbar colors are incorrect until Refresh visible tabs command
- [issue 186] Theming make some items in options screens hard / impossible to see
- improved visibility of dropdowns in options screen when using dark (and third party) themes - [issue 185] On installation / sometimes restart or update of _other_ add-ons category is reset to "all"

Version 5.7.1
Release 5.7.1
In order to maintain full functionality, this Add-on had to be rewritten as a mail extension with experiment API, which will require full permissions on installation. As regards being allowed to do stuff, it is actually not different with any classic Add-on: they always had full access to all functions within Thunderbird. The modern mail extensions will have much more tightly managed permissions - eventually QuickFolders will also be able use this more modern approach - but the APIs for this have to be created and accepted by Mozilla first. This means a lot of ongoing work for the next 12 months forward - please support this by buying a license:
You can buy a QuickFolders Pro license here.
Or get the new cheaper QuickFolders Standard License. This is the preferred way of funding all the ongoing work and improvements.

Maintenance versions - 5.6.6
- [issue 177] Fixed: Unreliable search if space and "-" characters are combined in the search string
- [issue 174] Main QuickFolders toolbar was hidden in single message tabs by default. Changed to being visible by default and added a setting to QuickFolders General settings.
- [issue 176] Hide instructions on how to set up QuickFolders at startup (for users who already have set up tabs)
- [issue 179] If you have many (1000s) of folders, you can disable the "multi word search" feature with the configuration setting extensions.quickfolders.premium.findFolder.disableSpace=true to improve performance while typing in quickJump / quickMove.
- Improved icon for quickMove help
- Improved removal of event listeners when installing new versions or disabling / reloading the Add-on.
Improvements - 5.6.5
- From now on, the update splash screen will not be displayed automatically anymore. Instead, there will be a message on the QuickFolders button which can be clicked once to read the latest news. There is also a new entry "Show Splash screen" on the QuickFolders tools menu
- [issue 155] Support entering multiple words in a search string to find longer folder names that are composited, such as "Fred.Flintstone" "Invoices June 2020" "Research+Development". These can now be found by entering the starting letters of the words within the folder name, in any order. e.g. "f f" "2020 inv" "Dev Res". The following characters are regarded as word boundaries and don't need to be typed:
_ . - + & @
This can also be combined with the existing parent folder syntax by entering the parent folder start followed by a forward slash "/", e.g. enter "A/rev a" to match subfolders like "AMO » AMO-Reviews" "Addons » Accepted Revisions".
Use the new character ">" to skip any folder within the path.
Use the [?] symbol to the right of the search field to display a help panel. - [issue 163] quickMove: folder created while moving is not displayed on top of recent folders menu.
- [web extension migration] Improved many functions that worked via accessing the "most recent Thunderbird window" and replaced them with event notifications that propagate to every window. This uses the Notification Tool library and the background script (a mechanism of the new API based "mail extensions" model).
This way all Thunderbird windows (if you work from multiple windows) will be updated correctly when doing one of the following actions. All these now work simultaneously and update in multiple Thunderbird windows:
- rename a tab
- move a tab positionto a different position
- delete a tab or remove it from or add it to a category
- change the layout of all QuickFolders toolbar elements from the options dialog (themes, colors)
- rename QuickFolders categories
- change the theme / buttons of the Current Folder Bar
- change options of where to display the Current Folder Bar (main window, message tab, single message window)
- changes to the license when entered / validated
- unlocking features such as the advanced / tab-specific properties when a license key is entered
Bug Fixes + Miscellaneus
- [issue 172] Fixed (in v5.6.5): quickMove results pathes are only showing last 2 folders in path if only a single search word is entered.
- [issue 167] Fixed: Unreadable colors of QuickFolders toolbar font and Navigation bar icons in Linux.
- [issue 150] Unwanted new line characters "\n" were displayed in some strings in version 5.5.2
- [web extension migration] Licenser code migrated into background script.
- Ongoing work of Rewriting code to use APIs instead of Thunderbird's internal functions see [issue 147] for up to date detail.

- I am working on making QuickFolders compatible with Thunderbird 91, which is planned for release in summer 2021. There is a lot of rewriting going on in the background in order to replace internal functionality with the new API model. If you still ust THunderbird 68 or older, consider at least switching to Thunderbird 78 to get the latest version of QuickFolders.
- The maximum number of search results in quickMove can now be larger than 25 by editing the following configuration setting: extensions.quickfolders.quickMove.maxResults
