Hello Graylion,

Our old .xpi is not compatible with thunderbird 12.0.1, So would you please try following steps.

1) Go to add-ons manager of your thunderbird, remove old .xpi file of OpenERP plugins
2)Up (pull) your addons branch means take the latest revision number.
3)Add the 6.1-addons/plugin_thunderbird/static/openerp_plugin.xpi file on your thunderbird addons.
4) restart the thunderbird.

Now try to connect openerp (thunderbird installed ) db with thunderbird.

Hope this will help.

Thanks for the reporting!

Hello Miguel Bejar Luque ,

You receive a warning message "Please install the thunderbird module on your 'xxxxxxxx' database and try again !" because plugin_thunderbird module not
installed in your database.

1) install plugin_thunderbird module in your database.
2) Add plugin_thunderbird/static/openerp_plugin.xpi file on
     your thunderbird.
3) Try to connect with database.

Hope this will help.

Thank you!

I actually tried it with the 6.1 module as well, but that doesn't connect either - without error message IIRC. I am currently not sitting in front of the system, so will try and reproduce this evening. I would assume that the plugin for 6.1 is not compatible with 6.0.4. And yes my TBird module is installed in OpenERP.
