=== Thunderbird Conversations ===
 
This was previously known as Gmail Conversation View. The addon is close to a preview release, and integrates a standard conversation just like Gmail. This also includes quick reply, and a whole lot of other cool features. Nightly builds available at http://jonathan.xulforum.org/files/gcv-nightlies/

=== Account Provisioner ===
 
Offer a new email address to new users.  A lot of people think we're going to give them an account when they download Thunderbird, so let's not disappoint them.

=== Mute Thread ===


https://github.com/protz/GMail-Conversation-View
Allow for email threads to be muted.  Two goals:


=== Thunderbird Sync ===
1) allow current users to get the same UX that is currently available to newsgroups
2) experiment with alternate UXes in search of one good enough that we could use it in core


The add-on formally known as Weave Sync working inside Thunderbird.  We have an initial working version that can support sync of address book contacts, passwords, and preferences.

=== Thunderbird Sync ===


The Contacts add-on built by labs has been adapted to work inside Thunderbird.  This is an excellent experiment in building a better contacts manager by using alternate sources of contacts.

A fresh look at keyboard navigation inside Thunderbird.  Using a mapping system for the key binding so users from other systems (outlook) can continue to use their old key bindings.  Also looking at a new way of offering keybindings which is more visual (think quick silver / ubiquity), teaching (teaches you new / different keybindings), and smarter (uses frecency for menu items).
