The unique possibility to SyncPOP instead of IMAP is an interesting

I would feel far more secure if Thunderbird directly re-aligned itself

If LibreOffice where to take control of Thunderbird, would it be able to 
become part of an overall system to legitimize document sharing in both 
e-mail client and documents?
