Smi already mentioned that there's a tagthe.net extension for Mozilla Thunderbird under way. Well, actually it's been long ready, but not released, because the least you could say about those guys over at addons.mozilla.org is, that they are somewhat unorganized. (How else would you explain, that currently Thunderbird-extensions get their approval, that have been submitted way after Tag the Bird?) For this reasion we decided to make Tag the Bird available here, until approved by the Mozilla staff. Behold:



Download: Tag the Bird v0.9.0
Edit: Don't use this version anymore! There's a new one released.

Of course this is not at all a final version, and loads of features are still to come, but there's already a bunch of functionality available:

• autotagging of your emails
• splitting your tags by tagthe.net dimensions (topic, person, location)
• adding custom tags
• freely customizable external search engines
• English and German localization
• ...

Requirements

• Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5

Installation:
Download the file. In Thunderbird go to Tools > Extensions > Install. Select the downloaded file and restart Thunderbird.

Important Notes:

• For this is only a temporary place to host the extension until it's approved by Mozilla, there's no auto-updating mechanism available. Please make sure to always uninstall any previous version of Tag the Bird before installing a new one, to avoid unwanted behaviour as long as the extension is hosted here.
• For tagging the textual content of your Emails is transmitted to tagthe.net's Rest-API via a secure connection. Please make sure you understood our privacy policy.

Bug-reports always welcome.
