Alan, First this subject will probably get beaten a lot more as time goes by. There is always going to novices at this coming here and other places for help. Not all users know about the pop3 standard; they just want to able to get their mail. All we can and need to do is stick together and help other.
Second, I not knocking the webmail author any at all. He and the others (several are list in the xpi) have done very good at getting the xpi's working. From what your saying is that are limitations that xpi's are currently unable to get around in TB as far as automating some things and it must be done message filters. When I click Help on Thunderbird it only briefly references message filters. With trial and error approach I did finally found that I had to use the custom feature and setup a X-folder message header option. I am by no means anywhere near expert on TB or and even less on the pop3 protocol. Personally I learning more each day about TB through both with online help plus trial and error. Probably most 50+ people wouldn't even attempt to create a new xpi program to work with webmail add-on especially without any formal programming training but I going to give it a good try. I am usually fairly good at figuring out puzzles. To me if there was a complete Detailed Thunderbird Manual would be a little nice,. I have yet find one. If know where I can download a detail manual on TB and the webmail add-on please let me know. I am trying to setup an extension for another webmail site add-on here. So far the only way I found to get it done is to tear other xpi's apart and study them plus trial error approach to programming one. Hoping in a few weeks to start experimenting accessing the webmail account. I have got the about section working and now working setting up an options section as time permits here. With a lot more research I yet might get it to work. Eugene
