i have a somewhat complex thunderbird configuration but it has to be redone manually. codify it

looks like nobody has made a nice nixos module for this. might have to tackle it myself!

automatic login for thunderbird requires:

  • determine how thunderbird installs extensions (likely the json file but it contains way too much detail?)
  • hashing passwords by imitating thunderbird's method or somehow using thunderbird cli to import these things at build time

looks like much of this has been accomplished with firefox - in the future look at how firefox does it and build out a corresponding thunderbird module (for example, looks like extensions are at least configured and fetched in the same way)
