The add-on "Full address column"

The add-on "full address column" stopped working with the upgrade to thunderbird version 115. I removed and reinstalled the add-on but it did not work. On the older versions, an incoming email would show who it was from and their email address. By knowing the email address of the sender, you could determine if it was a scam or not.

Is there a way to make this add-on work with the new upgraded 115 version?

The add-on can't be updated until TB allows custom columns:

... or until the Thunderbird developers will eventually include this feature natively.

The aforementioned add-on was a workaround to address the e-mail client's shortcoming. The sender information/data is undoubtedly there, so why not let users more easily identify spam, scam or other such e-mails? Before opening them. Yes, I keep the preview disabled.

As a work-around you could make a rule to move known good addresses to a new dir like inbox-2-good. Then everything left in the regular inbox would be suspect? TB has turned into so difficult to use, I just use it for archiving purposes, but do all the actual email work on my server's webpage, so I've deleted all the crap before it even hits my computer.
