Day to day I use my email provider's regular web interface but I use Thunderbird every few months when I need to do a massive email cleanup - there is no other tool I'd rather use and it's indispensable to me for that purpose. Also the article states, "In many ways, there is more need for independent and secure email than ever" and I agree 100%. Thank you to everyone who works on this project!
A Bright Future The Thunderbird Council is optimistic about the future. With the organizational question settled, we can focus on the technical challenges ahead. Thunderbird will remain a Gecko-based application at least in the midterm, but many of the technologies Thunderbird relies upon in that platform will one day no longer be supported. The long term plan is to migrate our code to web technologies Mozilla dumps…

IDK, I like that Thunderbird sorts without conversation. It is the primary feature I look for in a MUA. The only feature I find annoying is the search feature, which seems to be a universally accepted weakness of Thunderbird.
I don't use Thunderbird, but I like that it exists and I hope they survive. Perhaps because it's my life boat if I need to abandon spying web hosted clients (gmail etc).
That said, if you want a web-hosted client for standard email, why not give self-hosting RainLoop a try?

Thunderbird supports conversations but they're off by default. But really I prefer the way it works now.
tl;dr Thunderbird will remain independent, but legally and fiscally be part of Mozilla (rather than e.g. The Document Foundation (of LibreOffice) or the SFC). Also of note: apparently Thunderbird is receiving enough donations, and has been for a while, to give faith that it will be able to manage just fine independently. Good news IMHO.

Yeah, the search is really terrible.

I'm confused by its two search bars. It doesn't make sense to have two.
