   No, Thunderbird can not.   
      
   You can define several accounts and each can have one server only. So   
   you can not have one "usenet" account will all groups.   
      
   In my case I can, because I use a local proxy server, which can talk to   
   multiple servers, while presenting a single unified server to Thunderbird.
