More or less. There’s a lot of stuff in that plug-in. All you really need to 
implement are the three methods listed under the protocol in 
https://github.com/quicksilver/elements.support.mail-qsplugin/blob/master/QSMailMediator.h

A lot of the work will be in the Info.plist. (You’ll need to set it up 
correctly for Thunderbird to appear as a choice under the preferences.) Check 
the Mail.app plug-in for an example.

There’s plenty of documentation on writing plug-ins, but very little of it 
applies to mail mediators. If nothing else, it can help you get a basic empty 
plug-in created. http://projects.skurfer.com/QuicksilverPlug-inReference.mdown

I know how you feel. This is how I ended up as a lead developer for QS. :-)

I’m sure you’ll have additional questions. You’re probably better off asking on 
the dev list: [email protected]
