Though it's already become clear that Thunderbird's days under Mozilla are numbered, there are still some 20 million users of the software–including yours truly–and I'm betting a community endeavour will soon take over.

Mozilla plans to report back on Thunderbird's fortune early future month. In the meantime, here are more or less of the key updates in this latest release.

1. Chat Integration
