Zoho Mail will not set up in Thunderbird

Zoho Mail will not set up in Thunderbird

I am using Thunderbird 13.0.1 in Linux Mint 13 64-bit.  I cannot set up my Zoho IMAP email in this client.  This is evidently a common problem as evidenced by these postings in the Thunderbird forum:

thunderbird can't seem to "find the settings"
I cannot configure it for my zoho.com email account
I can not get ZOHO to configure. Any suggestions?

The best T-bird seems to be able to do is to refer these users to the Zoho forum.

I believe the instructions in the Zoho help wiki are correct, although it might be a good idea for someone more knowledgeable than myself to review them.  Zoho IMAP works fine in the Opera Mail 12.00 client I have running on the same computer.  Therefore, I suspect the problem is in Thunderbird.

Does anyone know of a work around?  Has anyone broken through?

Thanks,

David
