As already mentioned, you use "darcs send" to create a patch, and
"darcs apply" to apply it. At least two channels are available for
transport: email (the default) and a file (which you can send as an
email attachment, or upload via HTTP POST, or cp over an SMB or NFS
network filesystem, etc.)
You cannot just copy patches between repositories; to update a
repository with a patch from another branch, you must have darcs.
This doesn't mean you can't mirror a branch via rsync --delete. It
means you can't have several developers committing to the branch
without darcs---somebody has to integrate it using darcs, then copy to
the mirror.

I am fairly sure that Thunderbird provides both shell escapes (so that
you can do "darcs send") and piping attachments to programs (so that
you can do "darcs apply"). If it didn't, how could the Thunderbird
developers eat their own dogfood? So I encourage you to investigate
efficient ways to handle access to darcs on Thunderbird channels; I'm
sure they exist! But I've never even _seen_ Thunderbird, so I can't
tell you _howto_. :-)
It's probably somewhere near the "plugins" configurator.
