Hi Patrick,

many thanks for this feature in Thunderbird, a great X-MAS gift!

It was one of the features I was missing in Thunderbird, and now (in a 
few month) we will finally have it! Thanks for your work!

Another thing that I'm waiting for is IMAP NOTIFY support (RFC 5465 
[1]). It's already in Bugzilla since 5 years [2], and I hope someone 
will work on it in the near future, because it will reduce the amount of 
IMAP connections to servers a lot (instead of 5+ Thunderbird IMAP 
connections just 1). Dovecot (of cause) supports IMAP NOTIFY, but no 
client I'm aware of uses it.

Do you have plans which Thunderbird feature to work on next? Maybe it 
makes sense to find some people for sponsoring, so more useful features 
get implemented in clients like Thunderbird? That would help all of us 
mailserver administrators.

Thanks for your work!
Michael
