This extension adds an extra toolbar to Thunderbird. When you drag a mail folder to it, you get a fully customizable shortcut to that mail folder. This supports full drag and drop, like the corresponding folder in the folder tree - You can drag messages on it to move/copy them to the folder, and access the bookmarked folders through keyboard shortcuts.
This is handy when you have a large tree of folders for clients or projects, but use only a few of them at the same time.
The Category feature adds more usability by adding distinct areas to work in; this can make it easier to focus on a task that needs just a subset of the folders visible. There is also excellent integration with the Thunderbird tabbed interface provided since Tb version 3.

Improvements:
[issue 114] Make QuickFolders compatible with Thunderbird 91. (ESR 2021/22)
This is the list of issues found and fixed so far:
Fixed the missing (and badly styled) [Buy License] button at the bottom of the options dialog. This is done by loading a separate style sheet link element into the shadow DOM.
Fixed: showing the debug settings (and other advanced settings) via a small window that filters "about:config" stopped working in Tb91.
Fixed: missing icons on sliding notification bars
Removed deprecated fixIterator constructs
[issue 189] Fixed: No longer able to move a message by dropping it on a quick folder tab. The function copyMessages was renamed in Tb91
[issue 190] Fixed dragging the envelope from current folder toolbar (Navigation bar)
[issue 187] Implement a QuickFolders Standard License. There will be now 2 licenses Pro and Standard, and the unfunded version will have a few restrictions. Most importantly, no more than 10 tabs are supported without any license. This is necessary in order to fund ongoing and future work so that the Add-on won't be lost to all users when Thunderbird moves away from experimental APIs. Standard Features will be listed here.
[issue 184] Update Notice - [What's New] button is badly visible when using different QF theme than flat style.
Ongoing work of Rewriting code to use APIs instead of Thunderbird's internal functions see [issue 147] for up to date detail.
Bug Fixes + Miscellaneous:
[issue 166] 3rd party themes - Current folder toolbar colors are incorrect until Refresh visible tabs command
[issue 186] Theming make some items in options screens hard / impossible to see
- improved visibility of dropdowns in options screen when using dark (and third party) themes
[issue 185] On installation / sometimes restart or update of _other_ add-ons category is reset to "all"
