Not true!

simple way: Just change the default config TB create your account from
with the settings you need.
You can find the file under your program dir i.e.
C:\Programme\Mozilla Thunderbird\defaults\pref
Compare the defaults to your working set of setting and change them
accordingly.
You can activate TLS or CRAM-MD5 and so an.
You can also predefine LDAP servers etc.
