Google Wave on Thunderbird

Are you guys still using Google Wave ? Is the excitement about google wave dead already ?

I have seen similar questions on many blogs and websites recently. But this does not stop me from blogging about google wave .. and here is a new piece of information. Use Mozilla Thunderbird’s new tab feature to run google wave.

Thunderbird is a free email client ( like Outlook from Microsoft) from Mozilla, people behind Firefox browser.

Recently, they added a new  “Tab” feature to their popular email client, Thunderbird.  With the help of a small script, you can use Google wave inside Thunderbird, in a new tab, just like another inbox open, next to your regular email.  Here is how to set this up

Go to Tools menu, select Error Console, and enter this line (be sure to select all of it):

Components.classes['@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator).getMostRecentWindow(“mail:3pane”).document.getElementById(“tabmail”).openTab(“contentTab”, {contentPage: “https://wave.google.com/wave/?nouacheck”});

Hit the “Evaluate” button when you’re done, and you’ll see a new tab asking for your Wave login. Log in, click “Remember” to have Thunderbird remember your password
