I don't know of a way to do that with thunderbird, thunderbird is (after all) a mail *client* not a server - most sane, sensible, well adjusted people would have the mail server using IMAP,
As someone who is rarely sane or sensible, and never well adjusted, I like to do things differently :-)
Agreed with all of your points as the sensible approach, however the usage for the webmail interface will be pretty minimal (probably a couple of times a year) and changing everything for that is overkill. After all, FF is a *web browser* and has no business being used for email anyway...
I have seriously considered setting up postfix, fetchmail, courier, etc - it might be useful as an end in itself, but is overkill for what I want. Eg: if my Dad wants access to his email while away from home I stand a better chance of getting him to install a TB add-on than a mail server!
