Some, but not all. The next version, SeaMonkey 2.0 (still in alpha now)
uses code from the new Thunderbird and Firefox's, so the three will
become similar. That may be a good thing, maybe not, there are quite a
few threads going on right now regarding using the new FireFox 3 Awesome
Bar (called 'Awful Bar' by some/many) in SeaMonkey 2.0.

However, you can install Thunderbird and SeaMonkey & neither will
interfere with the other. SM settings are kept in ~/.mozilla and TB
settings are kept in ~/.thunderbird.
