The dominik.polakovics@cloonar.com account in hosts/nb/users/dominik.nix uses GSSAPI (authMethod 5) for IMAP and submission, so mail only works while a TGT is held. Go back to a stored password like the other accounts and drop the realm-cased username.

Fix pushed on branch fix/nb-thunderbird-password (77b91d65); nb dry-build passed. Open the PR from https://git.cloonar.com/Cloonar/nixos/compare/main...fix/nb-thunderbird-password with Closes #453 (this run cannot create PRs). Thunderbird will prompt once for the password and keep it in its password manager.
