There are two ways of linking referred to here:
The correct interpretation of the term "symbolic link" is what Linux/Unix supports and can be done from the command line using "ln -s". See the man page for ln. This works for all applications, including CLI applications, but the target filesystem must be mounted. It cannot be a URL.
What caf4926 and I described as Link to Location is a desktop link and only works with the assigned application. The location is not a folder and hence cannot be used for Thunderbird.
What you need is the former, and to get that you need to mount the remote filesystem locally. Look up swerdna on the users list and follow his signature for tutes on how to mount Windows filesystems on Linux.
