Tested only twice but seems to work pretty well under TB v.115.8. There is a loader upon editing subject, probably related to saving email in temporary 'EES-temp' local folder before renaming it. It last 2 seconds max for me on an old computer. Still surprising to have this loader indicating some slow process, even for 2 seconds, but all in all, up to now, this seems to work well and as expected.

However, as someone below noted, it seems to work only in the inbox, not in other folders. In other folders it appears to yied an error. However when refreshing the given folder, subject editing actually worked.

I'm also just surprised this is a standard Thunderbird feature (or a default pre-installed add-one) and that an add-on would be required to be installed for this.

I am trying to resolve the long-wait time. The technical background here is that the entire message is modified, and not just an entry in a Thunderbird DB. If you have multiple email clients (on your phone, tablet and maybe a second Thunderbird somewhere else), they all get the updated subject. That however means I have to wait for your IMAP server to ack the change, and that is what takes so long. Renaming a message in a local folder should be instant.

Some email servers (for example google), ignore such update requests and TB never gets the ack from the server. I am trying to fix that, but have not found a handle yet.

As for "why is this not a default feature". The idea of add-ons is that users can enhance Thunderbird with features they need. Who decides what is a basic function and should be part of core? That is a tough one. We have 10M+ users and everybody has different needs. If we add all the add-ons which someone considers as "basic", we would have no more add-ons and TB would be a over-complex product with a crowded UI (we already have that issue now).

It doesn't work when the folders are in unified mode.

Extremely useful and easy to use.

As others have noted, the renaming dialogue produces a spinner, then an "X" and seems to have failed. But, it hasn't actually failed. The renamed mail finally appears right next to the original version, which I then delete.

Unfortunately the above spinner+X process happens at every renaming, and takes between 10-15 seconds, during which nothing else can be done. A significant upgrade would reduce the wait to a second or two.

Thanks for a nice add-on and for listening.

Very Useful.
Wish List - Even tho I have option set to not save a copy in EES-Temp - that EES-Temp folder is still created under Local Folders - I wish that didnt happen unless it is needed to be used.

Pretty neat! Very useful in some occasions.

In v115, the dialog to do the renaming produces a spinner then an "X" and leaves you in the dialog as if the renaming has failed. However, it hasn't actually failed. The add-on needs a bit of attention from the developer. Thnx!

The EES was updated on the 4th July 2023 and now you can only update the EES from the inbox only. If you move to a different folder it no longer allows you to change the Subject. Other than that its a great option to change the EES

Leider funktioniert das Add-ON ( 7.2) unter Thunderbird 115.1 nicht richtig. Kopie wir nicht in ESS-Temp abgelegt.
Umbennung nicht sofort sichtbar. Immer mit Fehlermeldung und rotem Kreuz

Cette critique concerne une version précédente du module (7.2). 

Die Version 7.* legt Wert darauf, keine Nutzerdaten zu zerstören, was vorher schonmal passieren konnte. Das rote X zeigt, dass etwas nicht geklappt hat. Können Sie mal in die Fehler-Konsole schauen, ob da was hilfreiches auftaucht (AppMenu -> Tools -> Developer Tools -> Console). Bitte weitere Rückmeldung zu diesem Problem direkt an [email protected] oder via github (https://github.com/cleidigh/EditEmailSubject-MX/issues)

Somehow this modifies the message body with ä and ö to show for example ä as ä
Edit: Seems to be fixed in for the version TB115, but clearly the 115 version is not ready to use daily in production yet. Shame...

Should be fixed in Thunderbird 115

I only found your add-on after I figured out how to do this manually. It's easy to alter 'To' and 'From' and 'Dates' too. Video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh0lUL9sOdg

Funktioniert soweit gut. Man kann lokale TB-DB auswählen, oder sogar auf dem IMAP Server ändern.

Aber es kann keine Umlaute (ä, ü, ö, ß), was für deutsche Mails ein Schwachpunkt ist.

Bonjour,
Il y a un problème avec les caractères accentués (éèàâêü...).
Sinon tout va bien; je l'utilise beaucoup.
Merci

Hi !
There is a problem with accentuated characters (éèàâêü...).
Otherwise everything works well; I use it very often.
Thanks.

Is it possible to adjust your Edit Email Subject (EES) addon for Thunderbird to fit right-to-left writers?

After plugin was updated to v6.1 (2013-10-13), it began to damage the letters with utf-8 subject.
For example

Original subject:
Subject: =?UTF-8?B?0YLQtdGB0YI=?=

After plugin applied (dash sign has added to the end of original subject)
Subject: тест-

Moreover, not only the email header is damaged, but also the email body is damaged.
enca states that character set of modified e-mail is 'Doubly-encoded to UTF-8 from ISO-8859-5'.
Thus text messages in modified emails are completely losts.

Be careful when using the new version of this plugin.

UPD This happens only when 'Only local changes' is unactive.

McAfee LiveSafe indicated this as a virus.

Bonjour,
Les différents éléments du mail traité (sujet, corps…) semblent être encodés en UTF-8, d’où des caractères inadéquats.

Exemple :
// *-------------------------------
les autres numéros de téléphone et adresses (dont mail) étant désormais caducs
// *-------------------------------

...sans qu’on puisse récupérer le texte original (caractères normalement accentués) ?
Merci

This is the best addon, but it doesn't work under 104.* version... :-(
