Friday, February 12th, 2010

For anyone who gets lots of spam mail, I typically recommend that their anti-spam management plan must consist of a multi-stage process. A common open source solution to that (and the one that I use personally) is a server-based SpamAssassin (SA) front end, followed by a client-based bayes filter, in ...

Maybe I need a search extension – SearchaQuilla?

Friday, November 20th, 2009

The last few weeks I've been adding custom search terms to my FiltaQuilla extension using the new nsIMsgSearchCustomTerm interface, which can then be used in searches, virtual folders, or filters. But I keep coming up with new things that I want to do. That delays my packaging of FiltaQuilla 1.0.0 ...

Inherited Folder Properties – revisited

Friday, November 6th, 2009

In a previous posting, I introduced the concept of inherited folder properties in the Mozilla mailnews products (Thunderbird and SeaMonkey). In the months since, I have incorporated these into my extensions quite significantly, so here I would like to show the UI I am currently using for this, and also ...
