Oh, wow.  I was feeling pretty pessimistic yesterday whem I posted my plea.
I was certainly not expecting such a detailed answer to exactly my problem.

Yes, they do allow access from Thunderbird.  The only 2 clients they
specifically mention in their instructions are Outlook and Thunderbird.  
They seem to push people in the direction of Outlook and give step by step
instructions for that, but they do mention Thunderbird, which is what counts
for me.

It will probably take me a couple of days to work my way through the process
but I will definitely report back about it as soon as I can.

Thanks for the detailed instructions.
