I think Thunderbird resources are best spent being the best email client it can. It currently lacks mail merge support, and mapi support is bad/not-working. There is an add-on for mail merge, but as they go to webextensions its future (and that of many other add-ons) are uncertain. This affects other add-ons such as enigmail too.

I would like if they focused on performance and stability of current features, e.g. by improving their IMAP code and moving to SQLite storage to improve stability and fix corruption of mailboxes.

I think that would be great too. For now they seem set on maildir as the future of mail storage.
Absolutely, I agree 100%. Instead of trying to be all things to all people, I think they should stay focused on being a great email client. Based on the comments on this page it sounds like there’s certainly enough work to go around just with that goal.
