Enigmail is available for:
* Postbox (https://postbox-inc.com), a commercial product
* Interlink (https://binaryoutcast.com/projects/interlink/), a
community-driven product.

Both are currently based on TB 52. Postbox is actively maintained and
its UI differs quite a bit from Thunderbird (I think it's nicer, but
that's to some degree a matter of taste). Interlink is also maintained,
but I'm not sure how actively and things like security fixes.
