I'm all for offering Thunderbird to join KDE!
This is not because I wouldn't believe in our own E-Mail offerings (otherwise 
I wouldn't be part of the Kube team as well as mentor a university project 
within KMail, would I?), but because KDE has never had a problem of being home 
to multiple applications in the same area, and I think they'd be more likely 
to benefit from one another than to "cannibalize" each other.

I also believe that showing a welcoming attitude towards popular projects 
looking for a new home can only benefit us in general.

Cheers,
Thomas
