I Love Alt-Q (Thunderbird QuickFile)
Do you use Thunderbird for email management? If Yes, this is post is just for you.
Since my back is officially “outa whack�, over the weekend, I spent some time on the couch catching up on some of my favorite blogs. While perusing through Lifehacker, I found a “Download of the Day� called QuickFile for Thunderbird.
When you mix a “sorting freak� like me with hundreds of incoming daily emails, you get a complex and elaborate set of folders and an always-bloated In Box. Even with a long list of filters, my In Box remains difficult to manage as many emails that come in simply don’t apply to my filtering rules.
Each Friday afternoon my PDA chimes, reminding me to clean out my In-Box. Yeah, like that’s going to happen.
So, I would guess 30 to 40 times a day, I have to manually find the correct folder, then drag emails from my In Box to the folder where they belong. I can’t stop doing this. The sorting freak must sort. Emails belong where they belong.
And this is why I am now officially am in love with Alt-Q.
The QuickFile extension allows you to press Alt-Q, enter a few characters in the folder name, and select the destination folder from a beautiful dropdown menu.
Life changing? I like to think so.
