Comment (by thwaller):

 It is ok, as I mentioned, this is a free service.

 My experience was completely different than yours. I did restart, both
 after adding and removing. Thunderbird prompts for this as well. Restart
 required to complete the operation.

 The other issues I mentioned were all experienced after it was removed. I
 am aware that those policies are in place while enabled, but those were
 all issues after removal. What I was expecting was a removal process that
 left basically no trace of it being installed. I ended up with a mess, I
 changed many settings back in the UI, as well as needing to go through the
 Config changes to manually change back for those not found in the UI.

 To be very honest, I never did get to see how TorBirdy worked while
 installed. As soon as I restarted after adding it, Thunderbird was a mess.
 I decided to remove it and try again when I had more time to play with
 settings as I needed a working client. After the uninstall, it was still a
 mess, as described.
