I got Thunderbird successfully connecting and getting mail, I did have 
to authenticate *but* using the MIT Kerberos client software I've talked 
to you about.

I added mine but nothing happened, I tried looking at the IPA logs to 
see if my Windows  8 cent is even trying to authenticate to the KDC 
after checking /var/log/krb5kdc.log I don't see any attempt from the machine

I tried this but it was not successful at all, I didn't see any prompt 
or user/password combo box to login, information is there but it'\s not 
as complete as one would expect, knowing that a WIKI is community effort 
I can't ask for much, but it was a good guide though.

I'll keep on reading and trying until I get it ready, because this need 
to go production in some months.

Thanks for all of your replies and helpful info.
