my perusal of the system shows little progress made on integration of
syncml into Thunderbird and some made into Sunbird (calendar) - I'm sure
you have your reasons to like Thunderbird over Evolution but you can get
your address book sync' easily with Evolution - apparently not with
Thunderbird (don't let me be the last word on this).
FreeCoins seems to have one primary driver behind it and the forum there
apparently has a gnucash developer that's interested in integration but
it does seem that development is slow - I'm going to presume that you
saw this forum note but just in case you didn't...

Seems like you might get something usable eventually, the timing of
course isn't clear.
