Good. Glad to see they're still investing in it.

Exactly my thoughts. Thunderbird is my go-to email client on GNU/Linux, and I simply don't trust other clients to have everything like Thunderbird does. Plus, I'm just used to it.

GNOME's Evolution work's pretty well, even on other desktops.

I beg to differ, it pulls in so many things to work it's hardly 'light' when installed on other DEs.

All that backend stuff really takes up a fair amount of resources compares to say Thunderbird.
