I would really like to see this one updated soon for Beta testing. Here
is the message I get when I attempt to install it. "Failed to install
add-on from C:\Users\Richard
Wells\NVDA\userConfig\addonStore\_dl\thunderbirdPlusG5-2601.09.00.nvda-addon"

Hi,
Cause: the installation routine for this add-on uses a code path that was removed in NVDA 2026.1. This is one of the cases where replacing the code path should be sufficient to get the add-on working.
Cheers,
