I looked around but could not find any info on the format of 
thunderbird's email uri

FWIW, Im 99% sure the MessageID email field is used in the uri because 
looking at the mbox file its the only value unique for an email and the 
combination of folder + messageID is globally unique.

Im also sure the msf files are indexes to the mbox file and contain 
message Ids in them

note it seems only the latest versions of thunderbird support the email 
uri (I get "email is not a registered protocol" if I use email:///)

so for now use the folder name (ie Inbox) + MessageId as the uri

Btw thunderbird handler does not index vfolders. thunderbird stores the 
email for a vfolder in the corresponding vfolder mbox and *not* the 
Inbox file.

Your code only looks for Inbox and Sent but it should look for all files 
without an extension in that folder to pick them up (and they can be 
created or deleted too!)

However its not an urgent fix as Gnome uses Evolution in the desktop so 
getting that perfect is more important.

We also need to support at some point IMAP for Evolution as emails will 
not be held locally in the Inbox in thoses cases (Beagle already handles 
these).
