As many of you know, Thunderbird development has been moving slowly away from Firefox development since around 2015. However, many changes from Firefox still land in Thunderbird due to the shared nature of the core codebase.

One of these changes is the move to WebExtensions, which has been particularly tough for Thunderbird thanks to the rich nature of the older APIs (which allowed developers such as Opacus to access properties on the emails such as the body, addresses and attachments).

Thunderbird is undergoing a lot of change from version 60 through to version 65, and several underlying internal APIs that the Opacus Thunderbird extension relies upon are in a state of flux.

We're currently testing an update against Thunderbird 65 beta v3, with the aim of fully supporting version 65 on its release.

In the interim, parts of the extension may not function as expected, but we hope you'll bear with us during the transition.

Thanks,

The Opacus Team

New versions of the Thunderbird extensions have been released and approved by Mozilla. They are both available in the Add-Ons section of Thunderbird to search for and install.

Support for v8 of SugarCRM is the key feature, but more details can be found here:

The latest version of SugarCRM, 7.6.0.0, breaks the search_by_module API call used by the Thunderbird extension. Sugar have released a hotfix that addresses this issue, which will be fixed in version 7.6.1.

For those affected, to request a HotFix for bug 73637, please file a case with the Sugar Support team. In the case, please provide them your current version and edition.

The RC of our latest (v3.0) SugarCRM connector for Outlook is now available.
This version has been re-written from the ground up to use SugarCRM's REST web service which replaces the old SOAP interface.

For September 2011, the Sugar community has been loud and clear in their choice of the Opacus SugarCRM Thunderbird Extension as the September SugarForge Project of the Month.
