TaQuilla 0.3.0 released

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

I've just uploaded a new version of TaQuilla to Mozilla's add-on site. You can download it here. It is still listed as experimental status, so updates are not automatic. Details of the changes in this revision are available here, but briefly it mostly adds some user interface consolidations for consistency, ...

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 ...

Extension status for Thunderbird 3.0 beta 3 (and Seamonkey 2.0 beta 1)

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

I've just bumped the allowable Thunderbird (and where applicable Seamonkey) version on my extensions to allow them to work with the new version numbers in the nightlies and release candidates. I had hoped to have new releases available by now, but have not yet done that. Major changes are planned for ...

Automatically determining interesting RSS feed posts

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

One of the interesting applications of automatic categorization of message items is the categorization of feed postings.

I'll ...

More progress on soft tags

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

I added enough functionality to TaQuilla this week to make it fully functional as a soft-tagging extension. I'm now running it regularly in my main profile, though I am only soft tagging for Personal at the moment. I'm very happy with how well the statistics are working, as it seems ...

Soft tags (TaQuilla) are starting to look exciting

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

Today for the first time I am able to run TaQuilla on my main email profile. This extension uses the same statistical bayesian filters used for spam detection, to instead automatically apply tags to emails. My initial trials are very encouraging. I enabled soft tags on a "Personal" tag, to track ...
