Could some please remind me how to 'crank up' the QuickMove extension so
that I can install it under TB 2.0.0.14 for my wife?

It was discussed about 2½ years ago here under "QuickMove problem" but
the thread appears to have been removed from the server =-O

I vaguely remember modifying the extension following advice from this
group and it works fine for me (in fact I find it indispensable) but my
wife never had it installed and it refuses to install in her profile.

It sounds as if you're referring to the process of editing the
install.rdf file to increase the maxVersion number. What version do
you have? A.m.o has version 0.4.0, which is only compatible with
TB 0.5 - 1.0+, but Add-ons Mirror has version 0.4.2, which is
compatible up to TB 2.0+, so you should be able to install it without
having to do any "cranking up".

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your message and the clarification.

I looked here: <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/877>,
but is clearly the wrong place as explained in your message, but comes
out top in a Google search for quickmove and thunderbird =-O

I will install it forthwith from
<http://forum.addonsmirror.net/index.php?showtopic=1330>, thereby
avoiding unnecessary cranking 8-)

Since Mozilla upgraded the a.m.o software in late March this is
probably the fourth or fifth extension I've encountered where
addonsmirror has a newer version than a.m.o, and in some of those
cases people in this group have mentioned that a.m.o used to have the
newer version. It seems as if the a.m.o upgrade somehow "lost" (or
lost track of) the latest versions of some extensions. :-(
