Well, it took a bit longer than anticipated (due to a lack of internet access for most of the week), but the next pre-release version of my new Thunderbird plugin “SocialMail” is ready to be tried out.

New in this version:

• Added collection of URL’s and phone numbers, although phone number identification still needs some work.
• Fixed some defects in the caching code so that api calls aren’t wasted
• Corrected an issue that caused profile images not to be shown.

You can get it here: socialMail-0.04
Minor update, it looks like some people are hitting an issue which causes the preferences screen to hang, here is a new release which fixes that problem:socialMail-0.04a

Now that the base of what I’m trying to acheive is done,  I’m going to start moving to a beta release, 0.1, at which point I’ll add SocialMail to addons.mozilla.org for wider distribution.  In the mean time please report any bugs or feature requests as a comment to this post.  Although bugs will take priority for the next few releases, I’ll consider new features as well.

For the 0.0.5 release, the only new feature planned is to add Gravatar support.
