Needed if one wants to have email addresses for usernames, because some servers require adddress book URLs to contain the username exactly as it is, and the '@' character must be escaped in an URL according to RFC 3986 section 2.1 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-2.1
Thunderbird's URL parser can distinguish between uses of '@' as embedded authentication vs part of an URL path segment in simple cases, but not all.
