It is here! Mailbox Alert 0.16.1!
0.16 should already fix most (if not all) the ongoing problems with the cursed 0.15 release.
But as my previous post already said, not all woes were over, and I made a mistake when uploading the final release file. This update should correct those.

Mailbox Alert update; 0.16 has been released through addons.mozilla.org.
It contains fixes for a number of issues people had with 0.15 (the biggest one being that it didn't work consistently with the internal messaging system across several thunderbird versions).
However, in my enthusiasm, I uploaded a wrong file to AMO, and it did not contain a few important fixes and cleanups.
Unfortunately, these weren't considered important enough to hold off releasing it by the reviewer (since in most cases it does work). I immediately fixed the issues (by changing the version to 0.16.1 and uploading the version I should have sent in the first place), but I'm holding off the version here until that one has been reviewed.
I hope this will be done soon, and I hope this was just some fallout from the cursed 0.15 release, and 0.16 will be nothing but ponies and candysticks from now on.

Big update to Mailbox Alert!
Configuration has changed, and you can now set alerts as a Thunderbird filter action!
I also added a separate manual page. It needs some work, but it's better than nothing :)
There are some open issues; I just discovered the global mute doesn't work anymore, the reviewer had some good points, and I did not yet find a good way to pass around the full message body (a much requested feature). Another feature that did not make it yet is alert customization. The first two of these will be addressed in 0.15.1. I shall ponder on the bigger ones for 0.16 :)
Once again, happy mailing

And yet more fixes for Mailbox Alert:
- Fixed an issue on Thunderbird 2 caused by a changed internal API, where alerts would not fire at all in some circumstances.
-
Fixed another issue with Thunderbird 2 where 'execute a command'
did not work for some executables.
