I fear Thunderbird could be doomed. How can we elevate Thunderbird and Lightning to the level of Firefox? I'm willing to pay.

How can we guarantee the future of Thunderbird and Lightning? Is the world going to end up with just Outlook? I am very concerned that Thunderbird doesn't have a dedicated, paid staff of developers. Thunderbird and Lightning are a great joy to use. My work email is entirely MS Outlook and it constantly disappoints me. At home I use Thunderbird and Lightning on both my Linux and OSX environments. Thunderbird's email and address books are both better than the Outlook equivalents. Lightning is great except with the occasional problem syncing with gmail calendar. I'm willing to pay a fee of up to $50/year to the Thunderbird Lightning combination so that it can be maintained. I would rather loose Firefox than loose Thunderbird! Has the group approached Canonical, Apache or one of the other major open source success stories to see about merging? How can I help make this happen?

There is a donate button which should start appearing when you update, or may be added to a menu in Thunderbird itself.

Matt, one of the admins on this site posted a link to the current donation site: https://plus.google.com/112895052003695447522/posts/2nBkH4NawFP
