Where did you find the Thunderbird plugin? We abandoned it many releases ago.

I found it in GNOME Do's preferences as an checkbox.

Marking as wishlist, as this is a community plugin.

I too am encountering this error, in 0.8.0-0~intrepid~ppa1. It's odd. It seem to worked okay in 0.6.1.0-0ubuntu2.

FWIW, the fix for this is rather trivial, the plugin assumes thunderbird home dir is .mozilla-thunderbird, not .mozilla. I posted a two-line patch to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526145 but it'd be nice to get it integrated into the upstream...

Oops, I mean the home dir should be .thunderbird
