Setting up IMAP accounts in Thunderbird works satisfactorily (as of December 2013), using the following generic procedure:
 +
 +
Use manual setup (instead of automatic)
 +
 +
Specify Connection Security = SSL/TLS
 +
 +
Specify the SSL ports ie IMAPS = 993, SMTPS = 465 (instead of relying on TLS for correct settings)
 +
 +
Specify authentication method = Normal Password
 +
 +
At some point accept the server's self-signed certificate.
