All works fine with plain authentification and managesieve. Perhaps 
someone have a workaround. I use thunderbird version 2.0.0.23 as MUA.

Thanks for reading !

I'll give this a look in a few days. It may be caused by your client, 
but it may just as well be a Pigeonhole bug. I first need to reproduce 
this myself.
