    Data Synch & Connectivity

  1. funambol-pim-plugin-linux-v0.8.xpi - synch contacts, notes, tasks, and calendar with my.funambol.com server. Then synch those with Blackberry or other smartphone device.
  2. lightning-0.9-tb-linux.xpi - enables integrated calendar(s) & tasks (local or IMAP)
  3. provider_for_google_calendar-0.5.1-tb+sb.xpi - provides Google Calendar support
  4. zindus-0.8.4-tb.xpi - sync address book with Zimbra and/or Google contacts

    Overall UI Tweaks

  5. additional_folders_view-0.2.3-tb.xpi - adds a second Mail Folders view to the mail perspective
  6. mark_all_read_button-0.2-tb.xpi - adds button to mark all messages in a folder read
  7. threadbubble-0.8-tb.xpi - resorts views by date when new messages arrive

  10. gmailui-0.6-tb.xpi - keyboard bindings for gmail (eg., y for archive, j/k for previous/next)
  11. nostalgy-0.2.16-tb.xpi - handy shortcuts for (G)o, (S)ave and (C)opy, to open a folder or move/copy message(s) to a folder
  12. threadkey-0.4-tb.xpi - adds toggle keys for show (un)sorted by thread
  13. headers_toggle-0.5.2.2-tb.xpi - using h key, toggle long headers, short headers, no headers on messages - great for newsgroup posts!
