This is the older verison history from 0.2 until 2.0

Added hidden Option for disabling drag to New folder in local accounts [Bug 22812]
Made compatible with Thunderbird 10.0 (new overlay because of structural changes)
Replaced Mostly Crystal Icons with the original ones from Everaldo Crystal Project (version from 2003); Crystal Icons are released under GNU General Public License
Renamed 'bookmark' to 'tab' to make descriptions easier to understand
Tab Categories - Highlight "uncategorized" item if a folder has no category; optimized category retrieval by caching cat array.
Tab Categories - fixed Category Remove / Rename which was broken due to introduction of "use strict"
Tab Categories - added logic to unselect other items if show ALWAYS or UNCATEGORIZED are selected
Special release for older versions of Thunderbird (3 and 2) - fixes [Bug 24451]
On these systems the folder string would not load when starting Thunderbird, displaying an empty QuickFolders toolbar. Important note:
If QuickFolders doesn't load completely due to a bug (so that no or incomplete tabs are displayed) adding the folders manually won't fix it - chances are that this might have the opposite effect - adding folders when the folder string has not been loaded unfortunately will save an empty folders string. In these cases, it is usually better to wait for a patch or revert to an older version.
Fixed [Bug 24389]version history and update popup happen always
Stability fixes on version updates - firstRun check is now only run _after_ extension version number was retrieved from AddonManager
Removed popup "successfully upgraded to version..." and replaced with a sliding notification panel
added "use strict" for better namespace pollution control

[Bug 24451] On older versions of Thunderbird (pre 4.2) the
folders are not displayed as QuickFolders can not be loaded completely. Patched version is available here.

Improved Performance during lengthy mail downloads by not _completely_ rebuilding the visible tabs
(now only updating labels and popupmenus of the existing tabs so that counts & "unread style" are up to date
[Bug 23542] using Postbox 2.1 you can not currently move an email to a subfolder via a context menu item. We have reported this to the POstbox development team (because it worked in 2.0.2)
Added Recent Folders Tab on user request. By default this is disabled, because it adds a slight overhead when changing categories.
To enable, check the option on the General Options Page. Right click the option for more settings:
show/hide "Recent Folders" Label

max number of recent folders displayed
current limitations:
color hardcoded (yellow)
position: this is always the left-most tab

Added deep scanning of folder counts and display for all sub menu items. menus with unread nested subfolders also bold.
Fixed missing translation in french options screen
Fixed [Bug 23078] the (black) font on the filled style pimped tabs was unreadeable. Font color hardcoded to white for dark backgrounds
- this overrides the user set font color, by design.
The 20 different colors of "Filled Mode", before and after:
Renamed style sheet files and title to avoid referencing clashes
Refactored code from main module into Interface.collapseParentMenus
Side effect of the improvement "Simplified folder navigation" in version 1.9.3:
Currently a folder that expands into sub folders can not be opened by clicking on it - I will be releasing a bug fix for this soon.
Simplified folder navigation - you will be able to click / drag on expanding popup nodes, similar to the Firefox bookmark menus - no more duplication / right dragging for these.
before: unnecessary duplication :-(

I programmed a workaround - the bug itself can be found here.
Added: mail tab support for TB3, SeaMonkey and Postbox. Changing tabs will also affect current QF selection (and Categories)
Added: separate debug options for mailTabs, folders, CSS, Drag and Drop, popup menus and (folder) events
by creating various extensions.quickfolders.debug... these can be now easily changed by Right-clicking the Debug Checkbox on the first Options screen.

Fixed [Bug 21919]: (TB2) In Linux Ubuntu (9.04) and OpenSuse when
the users drag amessage into a quickfolder tab and then try to move it
to a subfolder on the subfolder popup menu, thunderbird just closes.
Resolved by bypassing the code that removes the popup (TB2 only, as bug
is not confirmed for TB3)
In certain Linux environments, such as Ubuntu Jounty when the users drag a
message into a quickfolder tab and then try to move it to a subfolder on the
subfolder popup menu, thunderbird just closes.
fixed: slowdown of operations that change the number of Total / Unread emails because QF was updated every time - now done asynchronously with a 1000ms timer.
fixed: TB3 folder tree did not scroll to correct position
added: Option to show subfolders in popup menus
added: whole / striped tab option and backgrounds

Addresses an issue with instantApply which ignored settings in the layout ("pimp my tabs!") tab.
(by forcing display of OK / Cancel button for applying color options)
Also improved recognizing of special folders for Icon option. (Previous version falsely identified sub folders of Inbox etc.)
Fixed: Popup menus sometimes drifted down when dragging messages on them
Fixed: If the same quickfolder was dragged to after the first drag operation was not completed, the popup would not display again (until dragging onto a different quickfolder)
Fixed: The layout of flat style was tidied up to take up less screen space and look better.
Added: Display current QuickFolder version number in options dialog
The quickest way to contact me (apart from filing a bug report): Right-click the QuickFolders toolbar, select QuickFolders support, then click the last button:
Entering European languages (which include diacritics (accented characters, diaeresis, umlauts, etc.), ligatures, the Euro sign, etc.)
into Mozilla applications using a non-native keyboards doesn't have to be a pain any more!
SmartTemplates
offers an easy way to customize Thunderbirds default quote header by using templates.
Templates can be created for every account as well as for global settings (for all email accounts).
