Android is basically a version of lnux with google modifications and there is already a Thunderbird which works with Linux. Arn't you missing out by not creating a version of thunderbird for Android. You have done so with Firefox. Most users of Thunderbird would prefer to stick with the same e-mail client regardless of whether we are on our PC or our tablet or our phone.

The development of Thunderbird has been reduced alot which is why the desktop Releases have since changed to ESR fashion of Releases and not still be like Firefox Releases on desktop.

There has been a mobile version of Firefox for Android since Firefox 4.0 however there has not been any development on a Thunderbird version yet and likely will not be any time soon due to the reduced Thunderbird development.
