If your mail provider uses "standard" POP3/IMAP configurations, it can sort out/detect for you. It does a good job as long as things are "predictable".

One thing I don't like about thunderbird, is it won't let you create an email account on the local computer. In Seamonkey, I can set up a Unix Mailspool account, to receive system mail. I don't seem to be able to in Thunderbird.
You still can AFAICS. Use "Other account" instead of "Mail account" and you should find Unix Mailspool as an option.
Yes, I have a localhost account running in Tbird 8 here, where I receive all the system mail.
