Did I get this right: You can telnet to port 143 of the server?

Perhaps Thunderbird wants to talk via SSL (Port 993)?
If that is not the case, the common recommendation is to look into the
logs at the server side (/var/log/syslog, /var/log/mail and so on). For
further details and how to increase the debug level, look here:

If that doesn't help, install Thunderbird's addon accountex, export
your account settings to a file (don't forget to clear your logins and
passwords before doing so) and provide them to the community so that
somebody could take a look.
