Fix or replacement for thunderbird Buttons! plugin

Question

I have been using Thunderbird Buttons! plug-in for years with Thunderbird 2.0, especially it's nifty Archive feature that lets you archive the message to one of the pre-set folder with a single mouse click. Unfortunately this plug-in doesn't work with Thunderbird version 3.0.4 and later. The plugin has not been updated since 2007.

So could anybody recommend any fix or replacement for this?

I posted a solution to a similar problem here:

How can I search for text in all tabs in Firefox?

Although this is related to firefox the same principle works with thunderbird. To illustrate, I just downloaded the Buttons extension, changed the 'maxVersion to be compatible with the version of thunderbird I use (Lanikai v3.1.1pre) and the extension works:

<em:id>{3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6}</em:id>
    <em:minVersion>2.0b1</em:minVersion>
    **<em:maxVersion>3.1.1pre</em:maxVersion>**
