The money does not come from Corp, TB is moving away from Corp infrastructure. The money comes from donations: https://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird/2017/05/thun

  >The money comes from donations // The money presumably came from selling FF users to Google but Mozilla Corp decided spending on TB was wasting money. Whose driving this at Mozilla Corp? Seems like a sea-change to very money & business orientated position, like Mozilla's is basically being privatised and unprofitable (in the financial sense) parts are being ditched. The "Key Issues" of the Mozilla Foundation (https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/foundation/issues/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/foundation/issues/) appear to fit well with providing a FOSS email client, as otherwise people are going to go with Google/MS/Apple primarily which moves email in a way that contradicts the aims laid out there. [Interesting that the Mozilla Foundation use Google for hosting files (eg https://mzl.la/foundation-strategy https://mzl.la/foundation-strategy), seems a bit contradictory.]
