There was some work earlier this year to add LDAP SASL/GSSAPI to T-Bird - but I haven't heard from that guy in a few months now, so I'm afraid that work has stalled. The Mozilla LDAP C SDK version 6, on unix/linux platforms only, has support for SASL/GSSAPI, using the Cyrus SASL libraries. You might be able to hack the t-bird ldap source code to use ldap_sasl_interactive_bind() instead of whatever bind method it is currently using. I'm not sure if Cyrus SASL supports SPNEGO.
