Just a thought: Do you have "Use secure authentication" checked in
Thunderbird's server settings for that account? It's always annoyed me
that you can't explicitly set which "secure" mechanism to use (CRAM-MD5,
DIGEST-MD5, GSSAPI, etc.). I wouldn't be surprised if it's trumping the
other mechanisms because you have a client certificate installed.
