Thunderbird support is done by installing a Thunderbird extension. This implies that TB has to be running for Google Desktop to be able to see the mails. How exactly the data is passed to GDL I'm not sure -- the source appears to be there but I need to review the license before I go digging. This is definitely the more straightforward approach to indexing TB mail. Beagle takes a different approach by looking at the mail data directly on disk, but the current implementation doesn't work well with large mail datasets. (But fortunately Pierre is tackling this for this SoC project!) As for MS file support, my suspicion is that it doesn't have it. None of the obvious open source libraries for dealing with them are mentioned in their open source library page[1].
