AFAIK, in term of number of users, Thunderbird has about 20
million users and some Mozilla sources say only 7 or 8
millions are individual users. So I guess the 12 other
millions represent the professional users.<br>

Possibly professional, but not necessarily. There's some
factoring that gets applied to the metrics, I don't know what
the exact details are, but I know that some people we don't see
so much (e.g. not everyone logs on every day), and some people
choose not to do the update checks (or redirect to their own
update system).<br>

If it is anything to go by, my main extension's Daily user base
drops by around 60% (from 25,000 to 15,000) every weekend, which
(assuming figures are correct) to me definitely suggests a large
corporate / professional user base.<br>

Firefox and Thunderbird sees this the same. I think it just reflects
the working week versus weekend, obviously there will be some
corporate influence, but I think there's a lot of people who don't
check their email over the weekend, and with mobile devices there
may not need to be (e.g. I frequently don't have my laptop on at the
weekend, if someone emails me I can check on my phone).<br>
