Some of my supervisor’s fourth-year students are working with Thunderbird for their final-year projects. He asked me to give them a brief primer on how to write extensions. My initial reaction was "go search the Web", but I put in the work and ended up saying "go and search the Web on these sites". Since I threw together some links to useful resources, as well as a selection of what might generously be called "tips", I figured I’d link to it in case it’s of use to anyone else. So, Thunderbird Extension Tutorial(-ish).

The link to the Thunderbird Extension Tutorial is broken. As an update, there are resources for Thunderbird extension developers on the Mozilla Developer Center (http://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extensions/Thunderbird), including a Thunderbird extension tutorial (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Building_a_Thunderbird_extension)
