Comment(by proper):

 As first "simple" implementation:
 Does ThunderBird support socks authentication? I really haven't found it.
 If it had you could use IsolateSOCKSAuth by using "TorBirdy" as socks
 auth.

 More comprehensive implementation:
 Use the accountname (or any other identifies or the hash of it) of the
 mail account as socks auth for IsolateSOCKSAuth. That way all mail
 accounts get stream isolated from each other.

 What's left:
 http traffic... Not sure how this fits in. The blog and news feed reader,
 updates, addon search, install and updates go over http. What else?
