Has any of you TB users (assuming there are any here} done this

Any suggestions of what could replace it?
I'm not in a hurry to do it. I want to let the bugs get very thoroughly
sorted out first.
I suppose I can stick to 68 for a while yet.
The reason for this change is that Thunderbird is deprecating all its
old addons (the entire ecosystem) and Enigmail won't work on the new
Thunderbird. It's less than satisfactory.
Yes, I understand the reasons. They may make sense for FF. Though, I
don't know if they apply to TB.
Note that Thunderbird is no longer being developed in-house by Mozilla.
They cast it adrift several years ago for development by the community.
For several years nothing much happened but, more recently,
Thunderbird's structure has been formalised in a corporation that is now
a wholly owned subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation.
If you think this sounds like Mozilla are still developing it I'd
understand but, in fact, it is now separate and has its own governing
council. Where the corporate leadership come from I am less than clear.
That's interesting and may be a good thing. I should do more
investigation. I recommend TB to most of my clients. I want to make sure
that is still a good recommendation.
