Mozilla have limited resources and a large number of more important projects that could do with those limited resources.

I explained it: it has important bugs and the team instead of saying "won't fix" said "it didn't occur".

I agree with you on some Thunderbird bug particulars, and I weighed in and in at least two cases helped turn things around:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668655
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579372
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478468
Sorry I was not earlier on the scene to help -- people are supposed to mail me when my early warning systems don't see a problem in the community.
Honest question: did you try to intervene or get involved in any of these cases?

Thunderbird was a silly waste of resources and should have been shelved well before they did.
In balance I'm quite happy Mozilla exist and have been generally positive.
