How do I get Thunderbird to connect to GoDaddy?

Since this weekend none of our Thunderbird clients can connect to GoDaddy's Workspace IMAP servers (imap.secureserver.net). Any ideas as to why it's isolated to Thunderbird? This does not happen with Outlook or any of our mobile devices.

We have been having the same errors in my office, 30 computers or so. The few with outlook work fine.

I believe a workaround is to edit the settings for each account in thunderbird and disable SSL for the incoming and outgoing server settings.

I tried that a little while ago on a few computers and it seems to be working, however I do not like having zero security. Would be nice if Mozilla addressed this issue. (Or if godaddy updated their servers to be more future compatible). Whichever it is.
