Option to disable to-do's.

It's possible to remove the to-do column from a message list view. Please consider making it possible to disable to-do's in the interface entirely.

In the Mac community at least, you'll find many users who've invested time and money into to-do applications precisely because they don't want to use their inboxes as their to-do list. Being such a user, I'd prefer to hide away the notion of to-do's in Postbox entirely.

In a perfect world, Postbox would integrate with my to-do list app of choice (Things), but that isn't a reasonable expectation for a cross-platform 1.0 release :)

Show messages in thread summary view in chronological order.

In lieu of a proper Gmail-style conversation view, it would be a very helpful (and hopefully simple) change to show the thread summary view in chronological order.

Currently, clicking on the top of a thread presents a view in reverse chronological order. In order to see what the conversation is about, the user must scroll to the bottom of the summary view, read, and then slowly scroll up until the next message is fully in view. This is time-consuming and cumbersome. But more than anything, it doesn't make sense to throw the user into the tail-end of a conversation when trying to summarize it.

Please, make the thread summary view useful!

Keyboard shortcut for sending a message.

It would be great to have a keyboard shortcut for sending a message. Right now, it's impossible to have the sort of keyboard-driven workflow in Postbox that makes Gmail so efficient for power users.

It would be nice to see a Mac-like shortcut for this (that is, involving the Command key).

Hide messages after sending unless there's an error.

It would be great if Postbox hid a message as soon as the user hits "Send". Process the sending of the message in the background, and only pop up further dialogs if something goes wrong. This gets the message out of the way and lets the user move on to another task.

Matt (@mzsanford) on the API team has a possible fix for this. Hold tight!

Alex Payne started following the question "Ubiquity not showing line number on error reports" in Mozilla.

Alex Payne started following the idea "del.icio.us bookmarking command" in Mozilla.

Alex Payne marked one of Tiago Rodrigues' replies in Mozilla as useful. Tiago Rodrigues replied to the question "How to store data from users with Ubiquity ?".

Aza Raskin's reply to "How to store data from users with Ubiquity ?" was just promoted to the most useful! Alex Payne and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Hi Tiago. Good question. We currently don't have a special Ubiquity API for that, but you can use anything in the Firefox developer arsenal to make it happen. For example, you can use FUEL:

It seems like allowing users to synchronize a textarea's contents with an external editor is a problem that's outside the scope of Ubiquity, but it sure would be nice. Alternatively: how about specifying a file on disk that local commands are read from in the Ubiquity command editing interface?

Ack! Sorry for the frustration. I've got a fix in for this and it should be live soon. Thanks for your patience!
