After the ver 68. update, I have been using the add-on "check for updates" which always says, "No updates." but that's not true. I've received a couple directly from developers. What I seem to have to do is search for the add-ons have, click on the "download/install" button, restart TB, and then they are working again. I have updates set to check daily, but if the re-install gets me updates and "update" doesn't, why? Thx.

Which addons specifically a) were problems that you resolved? b) are not resolved?

Strangely, all of them: Account Colors Mail Merge Manually sort folders Send Later Signature Switch etc.

None seemed to work after the V68 update until I "reinstalled" them. Account Colors worked yesterday, but opening TB to day, it was gone...until I 'reinstalled" and restarted TB

I do have one or two that the author says won't be updated
