I really love this feature. I've added pictures where ever I can. When it's for people that I haven't met, it's even better - it turns email into a much more "human" interaction. I've actually run into someone that was previously a face icon in Thunderbird and knew who they were. I'm surprised this isn't native to Thunderbird yet. But in the meantime (after V25 support) I highly recommend this. Putting a face on people that you email with is something that is very useful psychologically.

This is a good idea in practice, but not implemented very well, perhaps due to google support issues?
Regardless, I've been unable to use this effectively. My own use model is to only save other people's events to my common Google calendar for use at work and home. But the reminder default never seems to work, making it pretty useless for me. You can set a reminder, but seconds later it disappears. Whether edits stick or not seems unpredictable as well.
The real problem is that the support page lacks settings for different use models. Some people may work around the bugs one way, others another. It depends on whether you're creating or saving events, whether you want confirmations (I don't), whether you log into google (I don't), etc. And if you need to edit the internal settings, rather than click on a gui, something's wrong.
I do look forward to 0.6.0 ?? or at least better documentation for this version that covers many use models and enumerated settings. The concept of being liberated from MS Outlook is right on!
