I'll look forward to testing the system. In general, if I want to test without risking all my mail getting hosed, all I have to do is backup my .thunderbird folder, right? Disable any IMAP accounts too, I suppose, or I risk any induced errors getting synchronized with my mail server, no? Am I too paranoid? Great news, Pierre! I’ll look forward to testing the system.

Am I too paranoid?

I can't imagine what could wrong using the extension though. It only walks through your content and adds some properties to folders and emails, only local changes too for that matter (nothing is transferred to remote servers, so you don't have to worry about disabling IMAP or anything to protect from this). You should not have to worry about anything getting b0rked :-) Andreas: I guess I could add remaining folders like you explain it, should not be very hard. Will work on that for the next release (the one after the release I make tonight). Brandon:
