It works, in that it connects Thunderbird to your Seafile server.

The issues with it though are;

It uses a token to save the log in so if you change anything at the server end or the password expires etc then you need to delete the link and add it again, you can't edit the token or reset the fields.

When using it with more than one computer your account gets multiple "thunderbird attachments" folders. You can't change the target folder (so you could at least shove them all in the same subfolder rather than in your file root) and there is no way to rename them so you have no idea where they have come from.

When you have multiple large attachments you get prompted to use the Filelink but say you have 5 large photos only 4 get uploaded so most of the time the receiver of the email misses the 1 that was left attached. Would be better if all 5 were sent as links rather than the random break.

All in all, it works, but if I was choosing a service on the strength of this plugin I would look elsewhere.
