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.
