I took a quick look in the XPIs, and it all appears to be done locally. I had the old freeware version of Hotmail Popper running for my Hotmail account. Since it was already setup on localhost/110, I didn't even have to change any account settings to use this extension instead of Hotmail Popper, plus I can get my Yahoo mail now too.
I haven't done any real bug-hunting yet, but it seems to be working well so far. Based on the Yahoo/Hotmail XPIs, it seems it should be easy to add support for other webmail systems as well.
Thanks a million, Comodo Dragon!

WormeyMan,
The username must include the username and domain (ie BillGates@hotmail.com). The domain is needed to select the correct DomainHandler.
Supported domains:
hotmail.xpi
hotmail.com
hotmail.co.uk
msn.com
yahoo.xpi
yahoo.com
yahoo.co.uk
Other hotmail and yahoo domains may be supported with current code but will require manual editing of the Database file. If you find any let me know and will include them in the next version.

Jed,
1)I’ve only tested the extension(s) on Windows XP and that's in a power user account. The extensions are written in javascript so in theory it should work on Mac / Linux with Thunderbird.
"In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice they are often different" -- Yogi Berra.
2) This is all local, the extensions works in the same way Izymail, MrPostman, and other poppers do by parsing the web page. The benefit of using my popper is it only runs when Thunderbird runs.

TychoQuad,
A few year ago there was thread on this board discussing how to integrate external poppers into Thunderbird. The solution Scott suggested was to use the ISP customisation.
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/mailnews/base/ispdata/
Someone even posted a rdf file which added some of the features to the set-up wizard you where suggesting. I played with this file at the time but found a few problems
1 - The file needed to placed in the application chrome directory (testing was done TB0.5 i think)
2 – The set-up wizard would strip the domain from the username
I will take another look at this and see if i overcome these problems.

Another thought... I've noticed that you've created an "engine" for the web based email plugins to interface with. What if you were to check the engine into the trunk? That way people would only have to install engines for the medium they prefer. Considering that Thunderbird is all about email, I don't think the engine being checked in is too unreasonable. Once again, speak to Scott though.

Unfortunately, it's not just unreasonable, it's impossible. The Hotmail protocol belongs to Microsoft and including it in Thunderbird would bring down the lawyers. Probably also true of Yahoo.
