Experiments

Thunderbird Conversations
  • New smart reply button, with new fancy icons!
  • Usual load of bug fixes (save attachment dialog, etc.)
  • Nice discussion going on in the Google Group.
Compose in a tab

Progress is slower than expected: hit bugs in Thunderbird (no way to use HTML5 history with chrome tabs, no way to use onbeforeunload with chrome tabs, no favicons with chrome tabs). Slow progress trying to figure out how nsMsgCompose.cpp works. Some of the bugs led to bug reports and/or patches.

Thunderbird Sync
