Corresponding pref:
`mail.identity.%identitykey%.fcc`
e.g. mail.identity.id1.fcc = false

`mail.server.%identitykey%.using_subscription`
e.g. mail.server.server1.using_subscription = false

I think this should be possible for any given pref using the traditional `Mission Control Desktop (MCD) - Thunderbird AutoConfig` and using `lockPref(prefName, value)` in your main config file, e.g.

`lockPref(mail.identity.id1.fcc, false);`
`lockPref(mail.server.server1.using_subscription, false);`

Please have a look at this documentation:

Does that help?
