two possibilities

1. not in the list of files seen by urpmi, or
2. no file of that name (e.g. mozilla-thunderbird, rather than thunderbird).

have you gone to the easy urpmi pages and set up from there?
http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

Go for main, contrib, PLF (both free & non-free) for the version you are
using.

Note, the mirrors don't seem to be set up for PLF 2006 as yet, take your
pick from 2005 & cooker (2005 probably safer).

then go through mcc or type (as root) in a terminal window 'urpmi
mozilla-thunderbird'.

You will get a full list of software available if you go to mcc,
software installation, and click either the alphabetical list, or list
by groups.
