<div>I was actually referring to using Outlook + Lync here
though, but really my point was just that it's useful when
you receive an email to know what that person is currently

Yesss! Thunderbird gets at least 50% more useful with that - well
in a group <i>working </i>environment, that is. Thing is, I
don't make a habit of firing up my chat client on my private
machine (partly because I am spoiled for choice - YM? MSN?
Skype?), but if it was just a switch in Tb, I would very likely
have it running all day.<br>

double cool. Is there a plan to integrate a thin client IRC out of
the box (rather than having to bolt on chatZilla)? That would be
the most useful for me personally. At the moment I am using
chatZilla via SM to keep my Thunderbird profile "cleanish".<br>

A "thin client IRC out of the box"? XMPP and IRC are supported (and
therefore, Google Talk and Facebook Chat since they are XMPP). I'm
not sure of what your question is then. I guess I'm not
understanding what you mean by "thin client" or why you would rather
use ChatZilla instead of the built-in IRC. (And how it makes the
profile "dirtyish".)<br>

there might be some scope in papercuts here? Don't know how much
work is involved. We need some interns for this kind of work!! ;)<br>
</blockquote>
This is certainly more than a papercut. :)<br>
