A real cool feature could be if thunderbird would configure automaticly like outlook 2007+exchange. 

When you start thunderbird the first time, all needed informations could be catched by the domaincontroller and the dns server.

- username, domain, logonserver are systemvariables
- ou, base and bind-dn, mail adress and a lot of other information can be requested from the domaincontroller (logonserver)
- reduntant ldapservers can be found by a nslookp (SRV records)
- internal mailservers can be found by a nslookup (MX record)
- certificates can be catched from the windows domaincontroller

another easy way could be a grouppolicy like the office configuration...
