๐Ÿ’ก Idea:

Improve Thunderbirdโ€™s signature system by allowing multiple, context-aware signatures per account โ€” automatically selected based on rules or email context.

๐Ÿง  How it works:

  • Let users create multiple signatures for each account.

  • Add rules/conditions to apply the right signature automatically:

    • Based on recipient domain (e.g., @company.com)

    • Based on keywords in subject or body

    • Based on time or day of the week

    • Based on folder or tag (e.g., replies from a "Support" folder use a support signature)

  • Support dynamic variables inside signatures:

    • {{FirstName}}, {{LastName}} of recipient

    • Current date/time

    • Conditional phrases (e.g., โ€œAvailable until 6 PMโ€ or โ€œOn vacation until April 4โ€)

โœ… Benefits:

  • Great for users who manage multiple roles, clients, or identities (e.g., freelance, personal, business).

  • Saves time and ensures more consistent and professional communication.

  • Useful for teams needing legal disclaimers, branded footers, or different languages.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Bonus features (optional but useful):

  • Shared signature templates across accounts or teams.

  • Cloud sync for signatures (optional).

  • Preview signature before sending.

๐Ÿ” Privacy-friendly:

  • All logic should run locally, with no data sent to external servers โ€” fully aligned with Thunderbirdโ€™s privacy-first philosophy.

I second this. A good start would be having multiple signatures per acc, just like Gmail does.
