Pros
Pro Not just an e-mail client
Seamonkey is more than just an e-mail client as it is a full featured web browser as well. This makes for a good app to use for those that dislike having many different apps on their devices as it is a bit like an all in one solution.
Pro Auto imports setting from Thunderbird
For those that would be making the switch from the Thunderbird e-mail client setup is quite easy with Seamonkey as it auto imports all previous Thunderbird settings.
Pro Free and paid version
Users who only need to use the basic features of the app have a free version available, though it does limit to only 3 sync'd accounts. There is a paid version that does extend functionality and allows for unlimited account but it does cost $1.00 a month or $45.00 as a one time fee.
Pro You can have multiple accounts
In Pro version, you can create an unlimited number of accounts.
Cons
Con Permanent CPU usage
Seamonkey permanently uses CPU (quite a few percents on a Intel i7). On a laptop this causes the fan to run (which make noise) and the battery to lasts less time.
Con Drag & drop is impossible
Drag & dropping folders and emails between accounts are not possible.
Con Poor import/export of contacts
You can only import your contacts data via CSV, which isn't the most popular choice. Much more convenient ways to do so exist. Even the older Windows Life Mail program is more flexible when it comes to contacts and offers such features as duplicate checks.
Con Collects user data
Mailbird does collect some user data such as user email addresses, names and client use. So for those that are security minded the use collection of this information may not be wanted and can not be avoided.
