The problem is, that it doesn’t work since Thunderbird Version 2.0.0.4. Here a hack from the user forum to make the plugin work with Thunderbird 2.0.0.4.
If you unzip the .xpi file (it’s really a zip file, just with an xpi extension), and edit the “install.rdf” XML file, you can update the maxVersion value to a number the same as or greater (for example from 2.0 to 2.2) than the version of Thunderbird you’re using, and then re-zip the files into a new zip file with a name ending in “.xpi”. Reinstall in Thunderbird and everything is fine.

But after upgrading Thunderbird to 2.0.0.4, the plugin stops working. Barracuda Networks Support answer to this : Unfortunately we do not have a new version of the Thunderbird plugin and we currently do not have an ETA on when a new plugin will be available. I apologize for this inconvenience.
