It is possible to add Postman auto-configuration to Thunderbird for Windows too, by adding .xml files to the $Thunderbird_install_dir/isp directory. This reduces the manual configuration steps required for setting up Postman with Thunderbird. This is different from Firefox in that in Firefox we endeavor to control the whole profile, whereas in Thunderbird the concept of an "account" is at the fore and isolation largely occurs at that abstraction. This auto-configuration .xml file cannot be part of an "account" or else it would not be useful, it must be placed into Thunderbird's install directory it cannot be anywhere else. see also: https://github.com/eyedeekay/Thunderbird-I2P-Auto-Configuration where I did it with a go exe inside of a plugin. Since we ask for install rights here, we can forego the go app and the plugin, and just install the files.

  1. Check if Thunderbird ISP directory exists. If it does exist, go to 2. If it doesn't exist, go to 3
  2. Copy i2pmail.config.xml and mail.i2p.xml to $Thunderbird_install_dir/isp
  3. Done
