Open a terminal type
thunderbird
if it starts it’s installed
You can create shortcut launcher for it in the start menu using the
menu editor

right click on the start button - choose menu editor
navigate to the section Internet - Email and add it there
the command is just as you typed before - thunderbird
you should be able to fetch the icon by clicking on the icon button and
search thru

I’m having the same/similar problem.
The installed application (not Thunderbird in this case) appears in the
menu editor in the sub menus, but I can’t get that sub menu to appear in
the menu proper. There doesn’t appear to be a box saying “display this
item”, and expanding the tree in Menu Editor and saving the changes has
no effect, so I don’t know what else to try…

I noticed that the sub-menu does not show when it only contains one
item. Therefore it puts the item up a menu level. E.g. I have only one
email program so it doesn’t show the email sub-menu, it just puts it in
the internet menu even though in the editor it is in the email sub-menu.
Is that happening for you?

I can’t think what you have done.
Tell us, are you guys using kde3 or kde4. Not that it should matter,
because I have no issues with the menu in either. Though once or twice I
have had to edit it in kde4 for items that appear in kde3 but not in 4.
If you have kde4 - is it 4.1.3 Factory??

In my case I’m using kde4 and it took for me to reboot the system for
the changes to take effect maybe reseting the X server would have done
it… what are the combo keys for reseting the X server?, I’ve tried
crtl+alt+backspace and is a no go!

Try holding the Ctrl+Alt and hitting the backspace twice.

Start menu>Applications tab>Application sub category is where
Thunderbird lives.

It didn’t appear in the menu above when on its own. I’ve added a filler
item to the sub menu, saved changes, and sure enough, they both show up
now. Quite strange… Smells of bug to me 
Didn’t need to restart X either btw.
Oh, and I’m using KDE 4.1.3
