If you are using t-bird to get mail directly from a pop server, then I

reconfig exim to use spamassassin and whatever else you want) and then
deliver that mail to your mail locally for t-bird to pick up. but that
may be using a 2x4 to swat a fly, I don't know. Can t-bird pipe messages
through external programs? If so, you might look at bogofilter as its
stupid easy to setup and train.

Since you need only basic functions use "mailfilter" to drop
the messages on the Server, then download it with "fetchmail"
and filter it with "procmail" to a maildir ~/Maildir/

And last not least, install "courier-imap" which will work
Out-of-The-Box for "Mozilla", "Thunderbird" or any other IMAP
capable MUA.
I prefer dovecot-imapd, from (limited) personal experience, but don't know much about the differences in theory. Any reason to prefer courier-imap?
