I /think/ (long time ago I set that up for someone, I prefer a
civilised MUA ;-) you just have to set up the account (without
any password) and then try to fetch mail. Then, Thunderbird will
ask you for the password and you can enter it. It will remember
it for the next time.

Why anyone would design software like that is beyond me. But hey.
