This got closed because there is no timetable yet? If this is the reason you can close most of all bugs.

The issue is still present. I do not know why you have changed it to resolved.

There are unofficial 64-bit builds for Windows if you look for it, why is it such a devious task for the official Thunderbird developers?

Besides Steam, Thunderbird is the only 32-bit application installed on my computer. I have been using 64-bit since Windows Vista. That is 11 years ago.

If you read bug 634233 you will understand that it describes precisely what is needed to make this happen. Marking this bug as a duplicate of bug 634233 means this bug is the same issue, and we don't need two bugs open that describe the same issue

bug 634233 is a meta bug collecting everything required for the overall goal. This is a very specific bug for updating the website with new information once there are stable 64-bit builds. I still wouldn't see this as a duplicate.

That is what I thought as well.
