 I don't think so.

 > 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.

 As far as I know there is only one proxy per Thunderbird instance, if you
 want to isolate different accounts you currently have to run multiple
 Thunderbird instances with different proxy settings. Did someone try proxy
 addons that allow more specific proxy settings?
  (or you can do some iptables/TransPort redir tricks based on destination
 IP/port - but that is just a hack)

 else?
 HKP... but everything uses the same specified proxy anyway.
