Re: Thunderbird Plug-ins (ReminderFox)

ReminderFox is a really nice ToDo function. You create lists of todos, and can add your own lists. The nice thing is a little "tied string" symbol in the status bar: you hover over it and a list of your current todos pops up. You can decide which todos show up in this popup list.

The more I use ReminderFox the more I like it. Time entry is really nice. Every time field is a drop-down with every hour as a menu option, but each option has four sub-options for the quarter-hours. And if you need something more fine grained, you can type in the time.

The reminder/snooze feature is very nice. And it's really quite flexible. You can add real events like meetings and so on, or you can just put in a reminder to do something in 45 minutes (well, you have to calculate the time, but you get my drift). But it shows the polish of a good open source project: one of the nice features is that when the reminder hits, you not only can reset it (with a number of good presets), but you can do things like mark it as complete, or even delete it.

This shows that people are actually using it, and asking for or adding features that make it work in the real world.

Anyway, that's my half a nickel for today.
