Is Thunderbird a botnet?
It regularly phones home to your mail provider's centralized server, so yes.

I sniffed some packets coming out of thunderbird... It connected to smtp.google.com instead of Gmail.com. I guess nothing is safe anymore

any cross-platform alternatives?

Unix mail command is the only approved of one. Personally, I'd buy an external device and directly access your device over TTY, you don't know what kind of spying goes on through the X window system.

For Windows and OS X go with Outlook, it's payed but at least it's safe. On GNU/Linux use this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_(Unix)

you mean it checks for mail?
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
The only safe way to send and receive mail is to use nc to connect to port 25/143 and type the protocol commands manually
Everything is compromised, everything's a botnet, and you have to point it all out.
