Oh I hope Thunderbird will continue as it's ownproject if Mozilla won't continue to manage it. Thunderbird is the best email client I've looked at since Outlook replaced Netscape Mail and the older clients.
As for "too many computers"; phooey.. Thunderbird doesn't work for your specific need then no worries; that's why we like choice. With portableapps wrapped Thunderbird on flashdrive I hit multiple win32/win64 machines in a day. On *nix I leave thunderbird on my workstation and use it locally or open it remotely through ssh/X so in that case, multiple machines is irrelevant. If I wanted to get fancy and just couldn't live without Thunderbird installed on every *nix I logged into, I'd setup rsync between my Thunderbird home folders.
I think I'll go back and reread the article; I must be missunderstanding something about this "too many machines to use a local email client".
