* basically, it means that you have to copy the folder that is named similar to {8845E3B3-E8FB-40E2-95E9-EC40294818C4} to your "Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions" folder
* when Mozilla Thunderbird is started next time, new extension is detected automatically - you can verify it in Tools / Extensions menu in Thunderbird
 
 
== Silent installation of dictionaries (spell-checking) ==
 
Mozilla Thunderbird keeps the dictionaries in <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\components\myspell\</code>.
 
By default, it only has English dictionary.
 
Installing a new dictionary is simple - just copy the dictionary files for a given language to that folder.
 
Below - installation of a German language.
 
* First, download a German dictionary from http://www.thunderbird-mail.de/hilfe/dokumentation1.5/allg_rechtschreibung.php - it's a .xpi file, which can be uncompressed for example in Total Commander. Inside, you will have .aff and .dic files - these are core dictionary files which need to be copied into <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\components\myspell\</code>. There is also .txt file (some info), and .js file ("installer" if you install the dictionary manually using Thunderbird).
* The XML which installs German dictionary for Thunderbird should look like this:
 
<package
id="thunderbird-woerterbuch"
name="Woerterbuch fuer Thunderbird"

reboot="false"

<check type="file" condition="exists" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\components\myspell\Deutsch - neue Rechtschreibung.aff" />

<check type="file" condition="exists" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\components\myspell\Deutsch - neue Rechtschreibung.txt" />
<install cmd='cmd /C xcopy /Q /I /E /Y "%SOFTWARE%\thunderbird\extensions\woerterbuch\*" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\components\myspell\"' />
<upgrade cmd='cmd /C xcopy /Q /I /E /Y "%SOFTWARE%\thunderbird\extensions\woerterbuch\*" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\components\myspell\"' />
<remove cmd='cmd /C del "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\components\myspell\Deutsch - neue Rechtschreibung.*"' />
</package>
