Thunderbird is not the best of clients out there. It's ok but not the best. I am using TB on my sites and found out that it has many issues. Can you be a bit more specific ? Are you trying to connect to Secure IMAP ? (993) on dovecot ? In that case, as far as I remember you have to "fool" Thunderbird during the mail account set up process. It's a bit crazy, I know but it's true. I have documented everything. Let me know where the hickup is and I'll try to get the docs and let you know how to work around this.
