I admit, posting a link to an article without saying a word - what it was 
about, was a mistake. The subject line could be sounding kind of critical 
as well. My apologies.

The article is informing about Mozzila decision to stop support of the 
further development of Thunderbird (and apparently Lighting?).

I thought such news might be of high interest for those Ubuntu users, who 
did not jump yet blindly into transferring PIM data into Thunderbird, 
after Ubuntu decision to switch to it, but who still could be considering 
doing so. Apparently the news may save them a lot of time and efforts. 

I also thought that bringing it to the attention of the community could 
save this very list from numerous technical support requests, which could 
flood it in the future due to such a change in Mozilla plans. (I would be 
surprised if changes in Ubuntu would not follow.)

Could you point me to at least one for Ubuntu users, please?
