Several years ago the developer stopped supporting his plugins to focus on Thunderbird. I hope he isn't the one responsible for how bad Thunderbird is now, because if so he should have stuck to plugins.

>3. Open a command prompt. Run the file with the argument "install", like this: >open_with_windows.py install >If you move the file, you must run this step again. Note for the noobs like me: The command should be: python open_with_windows.py install
