The obvious attacks are: Attempt to connect to the IMAP server manually and execute the login sequence and some simple list-messages command. I have forgotten how IMAP works, but presumably there is a standard utility that lets you start a session from the keyboard. More easily, it looks like fetchmail can be configured to fetch from an IMAP server. If you give it --keep, the messages won't be deleted from the server after they are fetched, and --fetchlimit can be used to limit it to operating on one message. Do a network trace (wireshark) of the connection between Thunderbird and the IMAP server. Since the connection is likely encrypted, this won't tell you a lot, but you will be able to confirm or deny whether the TCP connection gets established.
