- bug 517996 – Tools|Delete Mail Marked As Junk Folder not working in 20090921 nightly
- bug 518667 – crash [@ nsImapMailFolder::UpdateFolderWithListener(nsIMsgWindow*, nsIUrlListener*)]
- bug 505949 – Junk folder on Local Folders not created and possible data loss
- bug 462578 – Implement Quick Search option “Subject, Sender or Recipient” (Subject, From, To, CC or BCC) to allow filtering for full conversations with a contact easily
- bug 518188 – Body search term not available in Search Messages when “in” is an account
- bug 518565 – crash [@nsMsgFilterList::LoadTextFilters(nsIInputStream*) ]

I have a couple of bugs in for review, neither of which are critical for TB3/SM2. Otherwise, although I watch the bug reports and user comments for issues in my areas, I am mostly focused on my extensions, which are way, way behind the backend features that have been implemented.
