Continuing the e-mail trend from yesterday, today I thought I would share some of my favorite Firefox add-ons and themes. Listing the add-ons I use with Thunderbird is an easy task. Why? Well… there are only two of them.
Quicktext - Keep a list of pre-written messages to use in your e-mails. It also accepts variables so personalizing a static message with information you have in hand is easy to do.
Minimize to Tray - This extension minimizes Thunderbird to the system tray on the task bar. This way I can keep Thunderbird running without it getting in the way when I don’t need it.
There are only a handful of themes really worth checking out too. Here are a few of my favorite themes for Thunderbird:
Azerty ‘mail - Brighter and unique icons, but still keeps the same look and feel.
Charamel - A tan colored Thunderbird theme that is awesome, except for a few little things here and there that keep me from using it 24/7.
Silvermel - A silver port of Charamel, same look (and bugs) - just a different color.
The rest of the popular themes out there all look like Apple/Mac clones (insert yawn here), and do we really need more than one of those? I think not. Really wish DeviantArt had some better ones too, but they seem to be a little lacking with the Thunderbird skin section.
