=== Add SMTP Failover Support to Thunderbird ===
When sending mail in Thunderbird, if the default SMTP server fails, the error dialog shown to the user should prompt with the choice of using another SMTP server--assuming one is present in the Account Settings. This is similar to, and perhaps the same as, the '''Thunderbird SMTP Auto-Sensing''' project idea.
=== Thunderbird SMTP Auto-Sensing ===
Modify Thunderbird so that it uses the correct SMTP server for your current network and IP. In other words, if you are at home, use your home ISP's SMTP, but if you use a school wireless network, switch to the school's SMTP. These various SMTP configurations should be manually controlled by the user, that is, you don't have to try and figure out which SMTP to use. Rather, it should be configurable in an options dialog.
=== Firefox Session Saver Extension ===
Write an extension for Thunderbird that allows the user to start a slideshow preview of all images in the current message. The feature would work like this: when a mail arrives with pictures attached, a button or some other UI is added to the message that allows the slideshow to begin. When clicked, the images are shown one after the other, properly scaled to fit in the window. Consider using [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Canvas_tutorial Canvas] to do the custom graphics, and take a look at [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/556 this existing Thunderbird extension] for ideas.
