Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

For now you can use FoxyProxy. It's actually a firefox extension, but at least so far it loos like it works for thunderbird as well.

Download the app from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/ (maybe need to open the page with a chromium browser to see the download button), then drag and drop the file into the extension manager.

Not quite "per account" proxy, but at least it allows to specify a proxy per destination server.

Alternatively, one could write a small "proxy.cap" file and point the integrated proxy settings toward it.

Sorry, but how do you download the extension?
It simply installs in Mozilla. And I don't know how to download the extension to put it in TB.

@AleixaGan The simplest way is to open the extensions page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/ in some browser other than firefox e.g. google chrome and click on the small "Download file" link right below the big download button.
