The Country Lookup Thunderbird extension allows users to quickly determine the origin country and city of a particular email address.
One of the main features of Country Lookup is its ability to look up the origin country and city of an e-mail message, using the IP address. By clicking on the flag, a dialog pops up with a map, a link to correct city database, and contact information.
However, if you experience slower performance on your computer after installing this extension, you may want to try disabling the local country database in the extension settings. These can easily be accessed via the Extensions dialog.
Country Lookup also has minimal requirements; it is compatible with Thunderbird 1.5 - 3.0a1 versions for all operating systems.
Updates in the latest release of Country Lookup includes showing region in mouseover pop-up and map dialog, and displaying ISP and address information in the map dialog. These changes are minor but add to the overall functionality of this extension.
Overall, Country Lookup is a useful extension for those who want to improve their e-mail experience by providing geographical information about the origin of their received messages.
