I have Thunderbird running on my ThinkPad T520 running Windows 7. I also have a MAC running OS/S 10.9. If I install Thunderbird for MAC on my MACBOOK, will it look the same as the Thunderbird running on the ThinkPad running Windows 7?

No it will look like a MAC app. The menu will be on. On windows 7 it is off.

The fundamentals will not change, but some of the menu options will be placed where a MAC OSX use would expect to find them, not where they are in Windows http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac
