 When starting Thunderbird, Torbirdy notes you, that Thunderbird may
 connect a Mailserver over the probably unencrypted port 143 (normally
 imap), even if Thunderbirds connects over STARTTLS.

 Can’t u check, if there is STARTTLS and just ask, if there is no STARTTLS
 or SSL activated? Would be nice, if that would work, don’t mind if not...
