Thunderbird should provide more functionality for the customizable toolbar.
There should be a set of standard icons the user should be able to associate to
various functions (and shortcuts). This non exclusibe list comes to mind: - run
filters on folder -open previous message -open preferences window -open account
settings -add recipient to addressbook -create filter from message

Reproducible: Always

I think this would be better done as an extension in conjunction with the macro
editor extension. Too much of a mess to pre-program a laundry list WAG of what
some unkown user might dream of for assignment to a toolbar button. There has
been some addition of buttons already, both through built in and extensions,
i.e. cut and paste.

Adding buttons via extensions is good, but I don't see what is the point of
making a big deal that TB has a configurable toolbar when the only configuration
option is to remove or change the location of the buttons. If you are going to
advertise the configurable toolbar then a half dozen additional feature should
be provided. It'd kind of dismal to click on configure and see that there is
nothing to add to the toolbar.

I agree.  In fact, I think anything in the menus should be accessible via the
toolbar, just like in Microsoft Office.

This would, for instance, address my pet pieve: an accessible Send Later feature:

I'm using TB 1.0 RC1 on WinXP. In the old versions the search field was 
farther to the left, now it's all the way to the right and rather small. It 
would be great if it would be possible to adjust the size.

Now that the incredibly useful addon "Toolbar Buttons" does not work anymore and is not converted to TB 68+, it is time to make all it's functions internally available as Toolbar Buttons. As requested 17 years ago, at least anything in the menus should be accessible via the toolbar.
