Mail Tweak

Mail Tweak is an extension for Thunderbird 2 (with partial support for Thunderbird 1.5 and Thunderbird 3). It provides a variety of fixes and enhancements.

Mail Tweak's user interface is in US English, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, French, German and Polish.

The tweaks

Mail Tweak provides dozens of tweaks, which can almost all be enabled and disabled independently. A few tweaks are enabled by default.

For descriptions of all the tweaks, see: Tweaks

Using Mail Tweak

Configure Mail Tweak by using its Options dialog.

To open the Mail Tweak Options dialog when you first install Mail Tweak, press the Options... button at the bottom of the About Mail Tweak window.

To open the Mail Tweak Options dialog at any other time, choose Tools – Add-ons. On the Extensions page, select Mail Tweak. Then press its Options button.

For a picture of the Options dialog, see: screenshots

After making a change, optionally check the box: Reload windows to apply changes now. If you check this box, then Mail Tweak will try to apply your changes immediately, and Thunderbird's main windows will be reset. Alternatively, restart Thunderbird after making changes.

Note:  Reloading the Compose window does not always work, because Thunderbird might reuse an old Compose window that has not loaded the new settings. To work around this, restart Thunderbird.
