A Script for my 1001 email accounts in Thunderbird
« on: July 21, 2015, 11:37 PM »
I need an ahk script or similar.

I have the spanish version of Thunderbird (TB).

I have so many accounts that i am suffering a lot trying to locate my accounts quickly.

In the Thunderbird menu have the option Go (in spanish "Ir") . To select this option i need to press ALT+i
Then go to the folder (in spanish "Carpeta" ). To select this option i have to press letter        a
In my proofs, for some reason in the spanish version when i press      a      goes to the option "Prior" (in spanish "Anterior"). A block A.
If i press twice then goes to the desired option        a    (a from "Carpeta")
After this appear a huge list of my emails of several pages. I would like then introduce the name of my account to locate it.
And finally goes to the Inbox folder of that account (in spanish "Bandeja de Entrada")
Even in a few cases i have to go to another sublevel entering the name of the subfolder.

I need to execute the ahk when i have already entered in the main window of Thunderbird

IN FEW WORDS
ALT+i
a    a
variable windows asking to introduce the email :    someone@gmail.com
Bandeja de entrada
If exists subfolders then ask me for its name ....


Summary : Navigate to the desired folder.

Note : Sometimes is good wait until the step is given. Wait for action.
In the account name will be good have the option to select prior entries in a tab or similar.
Idem if exist a final level.

Can i have this script ?

Best Regards
