Thunderbird’s startup page asks for donations. Not saying it’s a bad thing, but it’s done right. How is it not enterprise and it’s run by a corporation? Isn’t Mozilla a corporation? Or is it not considered enterprise because it’s free?
Enterprise does not mean it is owned by a corporation. Also I think Mozilla is a non profit but I might be wrong there.
Enterprise is about who the target user is. If it is designed to run on a single user desktop or whether its supposed to integrate into central management and authentication structures. Enterprise software is most of the time sold as part of a service agreement with the developer offering updates and support for special customer use cases.
Thunderbird is simply a universal mail client that can be used by anyone. Privately and in a corporate setting

I appreciate the detailed explanation. Did not know much of that. :)
