Install instructions

For Thunderbird

First download the xpi file to your hard disk by clicking on the install link. If you use Internet Explorer to download the file, be aware that IE sometimes adds a .zip extension to the file. If this happens, remove the .zip extension from the file and replace it with .xpi. Run Thunderbird and go to "Tools | Extensions", click on the "Install" button and open the saved xpi file.

For Firefox

To install the extension in Firefox, just click on the install link. If Firefox gives a warning that it is not possible to install software from "jpeters.no-ip.com", click on the "Edit Options..." button and allow software to install from the site by clicking on the "Allow" button. Close the dialog and click again on the install link.
