Does this happen when you click a mailto link in your browser? You may have to set TB as the default program, e.g. for Firefox, see these instructions:

A similar method applies to IE, Chrome etc.

Under what conditions does gmail appear?

Thunderbird is not an email provider, so it's not clear what you're seeking to achieve.
