A bit OT, but you asked :-)  AFAIK, Mozilla's email and Thunderbird 
share some kind of underlying codebase but at the very least the 
look-and-feels are quite different.  Having said that, I use mozilla 
mail daily with nary a hiccup, but the last time I tried Thunderbird 
(say 6 months ago) all it did was core dump.  Couldn't reply to an 
email, couldn't browse large folders and I gave up at that point.  So, 
while at some level they may be "the same", at least in the past they 
were different enough to matter.

Mozilla mail and Thunderbird do not share executables; it's just the 
source that the executables are compiled from should be somewhat shared.
