Seamonkey is similar to the old Netscape 4.x and 7.2. It has browser,
email/news, and a composer. Where as FF is browser only, and TB is
just email/news only.

The down fall for SM is when one part crashes, it takes the hole thing
with it. However, SM gives you more control over preferences, etc.
To get the same in FF and TB you would have to have lots of extensions
installed which can cause more problems than needed.

From your first line SeaMonkey should be your choice.
I have all three installed, but seldom use Firefox or Thunderbird these
days.
If you use a separate email client eg Outlook then you would probably be
best off using FF otherwise I don't see the point.

If you are talking newsreader the NONE of the above fulfil more than the
basic functions and you will be better off with Dialog, Xnews, Mesnews etc.
