Re: [Bug 323065] Thunderbird Backend

["Kevin Kubasik" <kevin kubasik net>]

Ok, I've been playing with Pierre's code and its quite similar to what
I did (which was mostly copy and paste Evolution stuff). Where does
the TODO stand at the moment before this backends inclusion into CVS?
It seems that most of Pierre's concerns are WONTFIX's for one reason
or another. Is it worth getting this out into the 'public' a bit for
some more feedback? If not, what exactly do we need to accomplish?
(I'd love to help however I can).

For the search-ui launch program issue, lets just have a
configure/compile time check for Thunderbird's version and work off
that.

I don't wanna be reinventing the wheel, so I'll wait to hear whats
being worked on and what needs work.

Cheers,
Kevin Kubasik
