Thunderbird is needs evolving from: just an email
client (just HTML email) → personal information
manager (PIM) → <b>communications platform</b> with
enterprise security, performance and partnerships
based on open standards which is suitable for all
devices (desktop, laptop, mobile, ...) and all
platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, ...)?<br>

<div>If you listen to jwz, this is what killed Netscape:
<<a href="https://www.jwz.org/doc/groupware.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.jwz.org/doc/groupware.html</a>>.
I would be very cautious about going down this road.<br>

Or just stop with the PIM part without the groupware.<br>

These days even "individuals" have hundreds of "contacts" that they
want to keep synchronized between devices. They might want to ring,
email or snap chat the contact. Thunderbird to stay relevant has to
encompass the users view of what a contact is and what they should
be able to do with it.<br>
