So it appears that the Mozilla Foundation decided to no longer support, i.e. fund, Thunderbird.
There will be only security updates and patches, and the community is of course free to continue developing Thunderbird.
I guess email - and thus Thunderbird - is not innovative enough for Mozilla, and in a way I can see that. but then again, I've been using Thunderbird even as my corporate email client for about 10 years now and never regretted it. Or even envied the Outlook users. Quite on the contrary.
At least since Lightning, the Calendar add-one, got mature. For a global search (indexed, of course) I find Thunderbird even superior. Ctrl-K is (after Ctrl-Shift-K and Ctrl-M) probably the most used short cut for me in Thunderbird.
Well, let's hope the community continues to support it - I'd hate to go back to Outlook.
