Yes.
I use a tunnel from home to work, and by use I mean Firefox to open
pages/applications I don't want to expose to the Internet.
It should be the same with Thunderbird, of course the port changes, but
you connect to localhost:143 (IMAP), localhost:25 (SMTP), or whatever.
If you can connect with telnet to those ports, then TBird shouldn't have
a problem.
