GMailUI

GMailUI is an extension to Thunderbird (versions 0.8 - 1.5.0.x) which add concepts inspired by GMail to Thunderbird, like archiving mail and powerful message searching across all folders. Select a folder to be your sole "archive" folder, or choose to have an archive folder in each of your multiple accounts.
