Of course, the moment you release something, someone finds a problem. So there is a quick update for Mailbox Alert containing some bugfixes.

Changelog

Direct download

I've finally uploaded the final version of Mailbox Alert 0.13 to AMO, it's taken long enough.

Sorry to all the people not having their requests for changes granted ;)

Maybe next version.

But the changes are big enough, see the Changelog. Most important are a way more efficient way to store settings, and a whole new internal alert system (kind of based on thunderbird 2's, but IMHO more elegant).

If you can't wait for AMO to review and accept it, get it here.

Happy alerting!

Quite some time ago, someone who made a translation of Mailbox Alert made the suggestion to check out BabelZilla.

From their website:

This site is dedicated to provide localizations: developers (or their representative) upload their extension(s) using the Web Translation System (WTS), then people around the world apply the "concept" of the localization!

Since i can't reach all of the people who have made translations for my extension, and there have been new texts added to it, I decided to give it a whirl.

Their web translation system looks really promising, and uploading my extension was a breeze. You can easily see what translations there are already and how far they are from being complete.

I think this is a very good initiative, and given their promising site I have all hopes that this could be something everyone should use, be it extension developers or just people who know a few words of english and another language.

I'll keep you informed on how it fares.

Be it mine or another extension, go forth and translate!

New version of Mailbox Alert, not much has changed; I have tested it with Thunderbird 2.0rc, and while it does not use the new popups, it still works with the old one.

I also fixed the %folder macro bug.

As soon as i can log in to AMO again, i'll upload it there. But for now, you can get it here

Happy mailing!

New version of Mailbox Alert! Not much change in the outwards appearance, but there's a total rewrite of the way of storing the settings. This should fix the problems that some people were having when changing locales. And as a side-effect, settings are now kept when you rename a folder.

Oh, and the de_DE locale has been added.

If you update and then revert to an old version, the settings will be gone in the old version. If you plan on going back, make a backup your prefs.js file before you restart Thunderbird :)
