Confirmed by looking at the thunderbird.desktop file in thunderbird 3.0.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 sourcecode.
I believe this could be fixed by adding the "Mail" category to Thunderbird's .desktop file.

affects: software-center (Ubuntu) → thunderbird (Ubuntu)

Per pitti no FFe needed:
(01:57:58 AM) micahg: pitti: does adding apps to the proper category in software center require an FFe or UiFe?
(01:59:10 AM) pitti: micahg: fixing a wrong category? neither, I think
(01:59:27 AM) micahg: pitti: how about adding a missing category
(01:59:35 AM) pitti: same case
(01:59:40 AM) micahg: pitti: ok, thanks
