Thunderbird, Growl and Getting Things Done
The web has thrown up two interesting Thunderbird links today.
Neil Turner provides a tutorial
on getting Growl to notify you of new messages in Thunderbird.
The tip requires you to install the Yamb (“Yet another Mail Biff”) extension and to do a few things in the Terminal, but the end result is nice (as you can see in Neil’s screenshot):

Katy Whitton describes
how she uses Thunderbird to implement David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” system.
She outlines her carefully considered Thunderbird tweak, moving step-by-step through her message triage, mailbox setup, the required extensions and her template arrangements.
You might want to compare this with Entropic Principle’s post on Thunderbird and GTD
and/or consider how well Mail.app does the same thing
.

Hi there,
Firstly, thank-you for featuring my website on your blog – it’s nice to know the things I write are appreciated.
Secondly, thank-you for pointing out the issues in Camino and Safari which should now be resolved.
Keep up the good work
Katy
