Title:
  Drop Thunderbird in Xenial for something new

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Mozilla chairwoman Mitchell Baker revealed recently that Mozilla would
  like to drop Thunderbird completely:
  https://groups.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=topic/mozilla.governance/kAyVlhfEcXg#!topic/mozilla.governance/kAyVlhfEcXg

  As Xenial comes with 5 years support, Ubuntu will be unable to provide
  security updates for Thunderbird.

  I think it's time to either change the default email client to
  something new, or revert to Evolution completely.
