Yes, the package needs an update to version 1.0.3.
Will do ASAP! And many thanks for reminding me!

Not surprising to me! I'm using the package every (working) day, but
as probably a lot of users, I have thunderbird on hold at version
1:52.9.1-1~deb9u1. After that version a lot of breakage happened, not
only to this extension, but also to calendar-exchange-provider
(#906730) and enigmail (#909000).

It is very unfortunate, that we are not able to prevent major package
breakage during a "stable" release cycle, but I'll at least try reduce
the impact by trying to get a new version into proposed-updates.

Cheers
