Just when I've switched from Netscape and gotten used to Thunderbird it's going to be orphaned like Netscape was! 
Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker is making plans to spin-off Thunderbird into its own entity, so that the Mozilla Foundation can focus its efforts on Firefox.
According to ArsTechnica, the Mozilla Foundation wants to give Thunderbird more autonomy by creating an independent organizational structure to foster the somewhat popular email client. Baker has yet to decide whether to create an independent foundation for Thunderbird, a subsidiary branch of the Mozilla Foundation or to simply let the big bird fly back to the community, and hope a structure forms around it organically.
Hopefully this will be a productive thing for Thunderbird, which seems to have always suffered a bit from a lack of attention or coding bandwidth.

Well hopefully someone who has more time to develop Thunderbird will take charge of it. It sounds like it has been the neglected child so far. So this may be a good thing for Thunderbird...
