The Environment Proxy for ThunderBird is a handy add-on that allows users to configure proxy settings via environment variables. With this tool, one can instantly update their ThunderBird preferences to match their needs.
Konqueror already has a similar feature called "Use preset proxy environment variables," but Environment Proxy for ThunderBird is specifically designed for Thunderbird 1.5 or later. It simplifies the proxy setting process and makes it possible for administrators to set up uniform proxy settings across an entire environment.
In short, if you're looking for a reliable and straightforward way to manage proxy settings on Unix/Linux machines running Thunderbird, Environment Proxy for ThunderBird is a must-have.
