Programming thunderbird Email Client?

Question

Anyone has C#/Ruby/Python/Java or Perl scripts to get all the emails in a folder in Thunderbird client and download all the attachments?

I have more than 200 resumes as attachment kept in Resumes folder of thunderbird and I need to download the attachment and categories them. Any API reference to program thunderbird would be great..

I found this http://kb.mozillazine.org/Calling_Thunderbird_from_other_programs but I am looking for specific code samples..

If you are happy using existing tools, instead of writing your own, you could give the Thunderbird Add-on AttachmentExtractor a try.
