Understand TB 60.0 x64 will be in the public download queue May 2018? ANSWER: Wherever you saw this information, it is incorrect.
I want to report that Daily 61.0a1 x64 seems bug free to me, so TB 60 x64 should release without incident.

The Win64 builds have only been on the Nightly (or rather Daily) channel for QA testing. The Win64 builds is not needed like 64-bit builds for Max OSX and 64-bit was.
If there was going to be Win64 builds of Thunderbird for Release then it would have been on Beta channel for a while. No Win64 builds in http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/60.0b2/
The Thunderbird community does not have the resources that Mozilla has for Firefox. https://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird/2017/05/thunderbirds-future-home/
Before Mozilla had Win64 for Firefox Releases since 42.0 (on www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/) the Win64 builds before were mainly for QA and to catch breakage as it is possible to break Win64 builds without breaking the 32-bit builds when doing checkins.

I can confirm - wherever you saw this information, it is incorrect.
Wayne & James: OK. Thanks for your replies. Nevertheless, TB x64 on the Daily channel has been working without any bugs for me for a long time. It should be added to the release channel ASAP, IMHO. I understand the development/testing resource lack. TB is a superb E-mail program, and Mozilla's sidelining it as they have is a mistake, IMHO.
The various international help files for x32 should also work for the corresponding x64 versions. Guess the real problem is making & testing the various language executable & auxiliary packs, so I can understand that's probably pretty intimidating.
