To elaborate: Thunderbird needs to know the following servers:

• SMTP server (can be provided via Thunderbird's autoconfig mechanism)
• IMAP server (same)
• (cal|card)DAV server (provided via sogo Integrator)

Thunderbird CAN use the following services in addition:

• SOGo XPI update server (Integrator, hardcoded to DAV server)
• LDAP address book server (provided by: ?)
