   Probably a couple of reasons.  I am a long-time Thunderbird user.   
   Before that, I primarily used Pine.  I switch between a number of   
   different computers, and have thunderbird installed on my windows   
   laptop and on the USB drive I carry around.   
      
   I suppose the main reason, however, is that I am still in the process   
   of really moving to mutt full-time, although I am using it more and   
   more and only fire up thunderbird about once a week.  I still do not   
   have my .mailcap the way I want it, so some mail is just easier to   
   read in tbird.   
      
   The main drivers for mutt are abook and it works much better than   
   anything else when using my Nokia 770.     
   The main driver for Tbird is that it works nicely on a USB drive that   
   I can plug into a friends' computer or kiosk and i do not have to   
   setup an MTA.   
      
   I do everything in IMAP, because I like to be able to switch, just for   
   the fun of it.  Because of that, I try to be mail client agnostic so   
   that when I switch, I can do it painlessly.   
      
   Obviously, the reasons and uses are a bit chaotic, but the reality is   
   that mutt is my mail client about 90% or more of the time now.
