Since I am not using Kmail/Kontact anymore due to Akonadi, etc I was looking for a way to send files from dolphin with thunderbird.
Even though Thunderbird is my default mail application, trying to send files will result in kmail to start up.
Since I had some time lately I went for a search and found this:
http://www.grim.se/guide/sendto
To break it down do the following:
Go to .kde/share/kde4/services and check if the following directory exists:
If not, create it.
Then copy and paste this:
into you favorite editor (kate, etc) and save this as:
into:
Log out and back again.
Now when you want to send a file from dolphin right click on that file and you will see a "send to" line with the Thunderbird icon in the drop down list.
Note: .kde is obviously a hidden directory so you will have to activate "hidden files" in dolphin.
I hope this helps
