Well, it might seem like this and indeed thunderbird prefers 
imap.

However, in the initial window, where you do your server 
testing, there is a nice button just right of "imap", which 
makes you choose "imap" or "pop".

That should do it.
And again, it does not matter, be it pop3, be it imap be it 
newsreader, be it fees... you name it....
It simply does what you want it to do.
