If there are security updates I see no reason to stop using it.

Aside from bug fixes and security updates, what more can they do with their mail client?

According to The Verge, looks like Mozilla will stop patching on 20/11/13....

On November 20th Mozilla plans to release one more version, bringing complete feature parity to both it and the Thunderbird ESR (Extended Support Release) version. Both branches will receive security updates every six weeks thereafter for the duration of the ESR lifecycle, which is currently capped at one year.


Although the community may step in...

This.

I like TBird - I've been using it for the last three or four years, and I don't want to change again.
