This is potentially a less-than-ideal solution.
Torbutton for Friefox is carefully and specifically designed to address
web-browsing privacy concerns, making the user seem to belong to the largest
possible set of potential users. Simply sending Thunderbird traffic through
Tor may not provide the desired level of anonymity. There are other privacy
concerns with Thunderbird, for instance, it sometimes broadcasts its
hostname. Moreover, there hasn't been an anonymity audit of Thunderbird like
there has with Firefox. There may be other behaviours like this which
completely compromise the anonymity benefits provided by Tor.
