Welcome to the Outbox project
What is Outbox?
Outbox is a simple extension for Mozilla Thunderbird that adds a Send Later button to the Compose windows and Send and Send/Get buttons to the main Thunderbird toolbar, thus making the Send Later and Send Unsent Messages features more accessible.
Outbox is 0.1 software. It works on my OS X Panther computer, running Thunderbird 0.4, and has been tested by a small group of people. I highly recommend that you backup your Thunderbird profile before installing this extension. If you don't know how to do that, you probably shouldn't install this extension.
How to use
- Install the extension (Save the extension on your desktop, then install it)
- Restart Thunderbird
- In the main Thunderbird toolbar, Control-Click (OSX) or Right-Click (Windows, AFAIK) in the Toolbar and click on Customize. Drag the Send/Get or Send buttons to your toolbar
- Do the same thing in the Compose toolbar and drag the Send Later button to your toolbar
To-do list (patches are welcome):
- When quitting Firebird, ask user if s/he wants to send unsent messages if there are any (no way I can do this - so I'd love to get a patch for this). A simple first step in that direction would be to automatically send unsent message upon quitting. If you send me a patch for that, I'll release that alongside the 'standard' Outbox extension
- Make it work with any theme
- Organize the code in a more standard, clean way
This is a page with user notes on it.

Was it designed to interact with GAM?

Gusztav,
This is not something I know how to fix. So maybe a user will submit a patch that makes Outbox works with GAM (you could try asking the GAM maintainer for help), but otherwise this won't get fixed soon. I'll add this to the to-do list though. Sorry.

OK, I'm a lazy f*ck and I didn't feel like learning XUL/XBL, but I eventually forced myself to phish through TB's .xuls -- if the string "cmd_getNewMessages" on the line 20 of outbox.xul is replaced with "cmd_getMsgsForAuthAccounts", the Send/Get button will get new mesages for all registered accounts, which is what I was talking about.
GAM does just that; it adds a widget for this function that is internally present in TB. This would pretty much obsolete it.
I really can't judge whether you knew this. My two percent of a US Dollar.

Had some trouble installing 0.1 when the older version was already present. Cleaned my chrome dir and reinstalled TB (0.4 deDE) and now it works.
I'm not sure but i think i read something about plans, to make a localised build of the plugin. Because i have a german build of TB i'm really interessed in this :)

Make sure to uninstall the old version of Outbox before upgrading to a new version. The installation page contains simple (but brutal) uninstall instructions. If someone wants to offer better uninstall instructions, that'd be helpful.

The actual MagicSLR version is now 0.2.3
In the versions BEFORE 0.2.3 I've integrated locales - they are not working properly at this moment - don't know why. So I've decided to release version 0.2.3 without locales.
@bart:
I've been working on this extension for some time now. But until yesterday I was not able to fix a problem with the popup-menu. Last night I got the solution with the help of an user out of XUL-Forums.You should give it a try (version 0.2.3!)
The next release should have working locales and future-releases should be compatible to themes.

Outbox 0.1 works great and I find it incredibly useful. However (knew this was coming) it doesn't work in conjunction with Enigmail 0.83.0.
My account is setup to sign all messages in the profile, and if I send now, it works as I expect. However, if I use send later, the email is placed in the unsent messages folder in Local Folders, but it doesn't go through the signing (or encryption for that matter).
Don't know if this is an integration issue or not, but really needs to take into account security settings of the profile. I've not tried it with built-in SMIME support yet as I don't have an smime key. Can anyone try this to see if the problem also occurs using the inbuilt secure email support. If it does then it is the way in which Enigmail works.

Like many laptop users, I have a problem in that I have to use the SMTP server associated with the connection I am using at the time, and I have different ISPs at home and the office, so I have to keep diving into ToolsAccounts... etc. and changing the default SMTP server.
Would it be possible for the Send button to have a dropdown menu that enables you to select which SMTP server to use as default ? This would make this extension much more useful for me and others in my position.
And even if it is not possible, thanks for a really useful bit of work ! - [37] Submitted by: eidolona Tuesday February 24th 2004

You have to install it as an extension ( Tools Options Extensions Install New Extension ).
Once it is installed, outbox appears as a new folder in your local folders called 'Unsent Messages', instead of 'Outbox'. - [39] Submitted by: Andrew Thursday March 4th 2004

I just installed TB .5 on Win2k (have been using an earlier version quite well, I really like it.) Have been installing extensions, then had trouble ... after downloading and installing Outbox I exited TB per instructions and when I tried to restart, got this message: " A previous install did not complete correctly. Finishing install." So I deleted TB and reinstalled it, then reinstalled Outbox. With the same results.
I read the instructions here, doesn't sound like there's much to go astray. Can you tell me if I'm doing something wrong? I successfully installed some other extensions today. Thanks for any help. - [45] Submitted by: Cheri Wednesday March 17th 2004

After going through the above process once again, I somehow managed to successfully install Outbox. At least, I found the "SEND/GET" button... however, I do not see a folder in my Local Folders called "unsent messages" or anything else similar. I read an earlier post that I should see a new folder ... any insights? Other than the obvious, that I am waaayy new at this
:-) I freely admit I need help. But I really want to use TB and I need to help my friends to set up these extensions also so they will convert ... thanks. - [46] Submitted by: Gus Sunday March 21st 2004

Outbox doesn't work to me on TB 0.5 and WinXPHome.

With respect to number 46: excuse me, it was probably my error. Now Outbox works with TB0.5 on WinXPHE: the Send Later button was automatically added on the Compose window when I went Offline, while the Send and Get buttons can be manually added.

Hi
I've installed the outbox extension, and so by default all messages get treated as "send later" - rather than send now.However, when I then select "Edit as New" - as I've changed my mind (the reason for wanting the default to be send later), I end up with the original message in the out box, as well as the editied one.
Is there an extension that will automatically delete the original one?

After installing this, I now have two send later buttons, can no longer send messages immediately, and can no longer customize my compose window's tool bar.
DETAILS:
I installed this extension with TB 0.7. I right-clicked on compose window tool bar and selected customize. The customize dialog had a mess of icons (prob. because my Theme - Charamel - doesn't support it). I dragged the mess to the tool bar and got another send mail icon from a different theme it seems. But strangely, my original send mail icon *and* the new send mail icon, now *both* send mail to the outbox. IOW I now have two "send latter buttons." Also, I can no longer customize my tool bar. When I right-click, the "customize" context menu choice is no active.

Would it be possible to change the version number of Outbox whenever you make a change? And maybe have a changelog page? Otherwise the only way people can tell a change has been made is to read through everyone's comments, which may or may not be relevant to simply finding out the outbox extension has been updated.

I tried outbox - two versions. The 0.1 failed to show up at all, the .21 seemed to work, but didn't work with my AVG virus checker which changes the "real" mail server to a local mail server and new port (127.0.0.1:5001) and when the outbox is used (or just installed) a message comes back that realmailserver:25 is not available. AVG is a free virus tool that works with win2k and I'm using Thunderbird and Firefox as email and browser tools.

I use Send-Later so I have some time to reconsider what I've written or add after-thoughts or corrections, more addressees or whatever. For this use, it is most useful if the outbox queue auto-flushes (delivers) periodically so I don't completely abandon the messages I put there. The easiest modality would be to modify the auto-get mail with the added option to send queued messages on check. This is how Eudora does it.
This sort of ties in with the "deliver after date/time" feature which is also really useful.

Andy said "The easiest modality would be to modify the auto-get mail with the added option to send queued messages on check. This is how Eudora does it."
I fully agree with this request. I've tried to replace Eudora with Thunderbird, and found it so cumbersome to use with a modem connection, so that I gave up this idea : it was too complex to use for my father compared to the way Eudora does it.
In Eudora, when you are setup for a modem connection, all message are queued waiting the connection, and automaticaly send when checking mail.
And Eudora also handles perfectly the dialin process, and hangs up at the end of transmission... I couldn't get a similar easy usage of Thunderbird.Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; X11; Linux i686) Opera 7.51 [fr] - [72] Submitted by: peter on Thursday 16th September 2004 at 16:40 -0400

Hi,
Thanks for making this program, but I have a question about using it. I'm used to using Eudora which has a feature that allows me to specify a time that I want my mail to be sent, so that I can have mail sent from my account while I'm at lunch for example. That's what I thought Outbox was, but I don't see how I can do this with Outbox. If I can't, I guess that's my suggestion for a later release. If anybody out there has an answer for me, I'd appreciate if in addition to posting it you could email me at scott.caplan@yalenospam.edu (remove "nospam").
Thanks again for helping to make an amazing product even better.

I have XP Home, and Thunderbird 0.9. I tried several times to install Outbox, following all instructions exactly, but without success. I now have and Unsent Messages folder in my Local Folders tree, but the Customise function (rt click in tool bar)doesn't offer the icons described in the Outbox installation instructions. I noted the button on the Outbox section in the Extensions website is Install, not Download. I tried clicking it, and dragging and dropping to the desktop, but only move the link reference. Help please!

One of Eudora's features that I love is being able to set an exact date and time to an email (yep, I'm the same guy from about a year or so ago). Any plans to try to develop such functionality? It's one of those last items that is still holding me back!

I'm running Win2K, SvcPk4 with all updates installed. After installing outbox for review purposes I chose to uninstall it --- it wiped out something in Thunderbird. After restarting Thunderbird the Get Mail button was gone, the Write button was gone, there was nothing listed in the Folders panel and there was no "options" item under tools --- I had to do a complete reinstall.

First of all, congratulations. Maybe OutBox is a simple program, but it is THE ONLY IMPORTANT ONE that I care of.
Now that we have Thunderbird 1.0, would it be possible for you to release a new version with updated icon size and this the most needed feature: try to send every few minutes if a conection is a available.
The fact is that that will make W$ used feel at home ;-)

Hi,
Try this :
it's a french site but i know you'll find where to download. :) Of course the extension is in english too and is compatible with Thunderbird 1.0+.

Nice going on that French site. Any chance of getting those guys to submit it to the official TB site? Would make life a *lot* easier.

Installed old Outbox on 1.0 and it did not work. Was not aware of the incompatibility issue. Saw French site and downloaded but does not work. Followed uninstall procedures out lined on
but the unsentmessages.sbd folder and the .msf file won't go away no matter how many times I try and delete them. Any ideas?

Nice one BatBat! I downloaded the extension, installed it, restarted Thunderbird and it worked a treat. One small point: I had to do some tweaking on the URL after I'd copied & pasted it from the posting (to remove redundant spaces, and add the "c" which got missed from "geckozone"). The URL which worked is:

I see I had the same trouble as BatBat with his original posting... maybe I'll have to leave people to apply the same algorithm as I did to the URL in BatBat's second posting... 8S

Outbok extension won't show up in extension Window but is installed.
1.) How can I remove it?
2.) Why is the icon so much bigger as all other icons?
3.) Why is the icon (before adding) screwed when configuring the toolbar?Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1 - [94] Submitted by: Tom on Sunday 13th March 2005 at 19:49 -0500

All fixed now.
The already above mentioned Outbox 1.0 works like a charm! Unfortunately the link is missing a 'c', so here is the correct one, remove spaces:
h t t p : / / extensions. geckozone. org/ Outbox/
Note: If you have 0.1 installed, remove it first as described on this page, read carefully!
h t t p : / / extensionroom. mozdev. org/ uninstalling.html

Extension seems to work approx as advertised (TB 1.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.4.2) - thanks very much.
However I did find the process quite confusing; and some bugs and might be bugs, which you may already know.
Firstly, the link at the top right of this page says it is version 0.1. The comments in this page suggest that there have been many versions since. The only other version I can see is on the 'install' page; this turns out to be the identical file, so I'm optimistically assuming that it is the latest version. (I haven't figured out how to find the version.) Editing the link at the top of this page to remove the "0.1" - and perhaps changing the date, it currently claims to have been posted in ten years time - would be helpful in reducing confusion.
Similarly the introductory comments that this is 0.1 software are presumably now out of date, and overly off-potting. (It would also be helpful if these comments were list newest first, I don't know if you have control over that.)
When installed, the extension appears and immediately disappears in TB's extensions window - there's no persistent sign of it.
It doesn't (at least, didn't for me) add any buttons to toolbars itself. I'm not sure if it's supposed to or not. What I found (eventually) was that after installing outbox, I could then use the 'configure' command on the relevant toolbars to add the Send Later and Send/Get buttons to the toolbars.
The Send/Get button on the main window toolbar is fine. When I tried to configure the toolbar in the compose window, it showed me a block of what looked like all the icons, in three sizes, with a single label below "Send Later". Dragging this enormous block of icons into the toolbar did however correctly add the single Send Later button.
I think [93] above experienced at least two of the these issues.

(continued from previous comment - #103)
The Outbox extension is not in my Profiles folder, so apparently I can't remove it manually.
