Just because this comment reminded me...

As of this week, Firefox and Thunderbird nightly builds (and the
eventual 1.5 release) support using either SSPI or KFW, according to the
value of the hidden preference network.auth.use-sspi

Thunderbird also now has support for Kerberos authentication with the
POP3, IMAP and SMTP protocols.

Cheers,

Simon.
