Yes, it supports IMAP of course, but does it support the IMAP Push
extension to the protocol?

A quick search indicates that this is a bit of a grey area, it's not
obvious whether Thunderbird supports it ot not.

(As an aside it's one of the reasons that I have stopped using IMAP,
it's too big and complex for full agreement between server and client
about how it works.  I now get my mail PUSHed to a local spool by
having an SMTP server on my system, running all the time)
