# Thunderbird Extensions

Following on from my list of [firefox extensions](http://www.samespirit.net/ricky/news/140), here's my list of Thunderbird extensions:



[Minimize to Tray](http://minimizetotray.mozdev.org/)

    Changes the minimise in Thunderbird to send it to the system tray and still check your e-mail in the background.


[Contact Sidebar](https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=thunderbird&version=1.0&os=Windows&id=70)

    Adds a list of your contacts below the folder pane


[Message Faces](http://tecwizards.de/mozilla/messagefaces/)

    Show Face headers in e-mails and news groups


[Quote Collapse](http://quotecollapse.mozdev.org/)

    Makes quotes in e-mail and news messages collapsable to save space


[Quote Colours](http://quotecolors.mozdev.org/)

    Makes quotes in e-mail and news messages appear in different colours (I used to do this with userContent.css, but this is easier)


[Buttons!](http://www.chuonthis.com/extensions/buttons.php)

    Adds extra buttons to Thunderbird including change SMTP server which I use a lot


[View Headers](http://joshandmerci.com/proj_thunder.php)

    Adds an extra button to Thunderbird to toggle the viewing of headers


[About Config](http://aboutconfig.mozdev.org/)

    Restores about:config to Thunderbird so you can access the advanced configuration


[Mail Redirect](http://mailredirect.mozdev.org/)

    Lets you bounce e-mail with the original headers



Also you can see [which search plugins I use](http://www.samespirit.net/ricky/portfolio/firefox).
