Interested Firefox and Thunderbird user.

Current pet project: Writing an nsImporterModule in order to import mails, settings and the address book from The Bat! 1.x to Thunderbird.

Current status: The project is more or less stalled because I can't find enough documentation for the Thunderbird import subsystem. Especially I have the following questions:

  • How to register a Thunderbird XPCOM plugin so that is shown as an option when calling the migration wizard?
  • What functions is such a plugin supposed to provide? In which order are they called?
  • Is there a certain order of tasks that should be done to complete the import successfully?
  • Are there special interfaces to which I can hand over an extracted mail so that it get into the right folder or do I have to create my own mbox file from within the plugin?

See TheBat Importer (en) for more information.
