It might look like an abandoned project but it isn't.
Bug 1394144 lists the current showstoppers for 2.55:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1394144
The issues in the Nightly releases are worked on but it will take some
time before this is usable again. This would be a full time job for 2 to
5 devs currently and we don't have this.
The current infrastructure is also falling apart and will be
decommissioned by Mozilla in the next year. We will switch to our own
but this also takes time away from doing fixes.
So if you think you need current alpha or beta releases just switch
browsers. We can't do this at the moment. The focus is on providing
stable 2.49.x releases while keeping the Nightly tree building for now.
x64 is a non issue. I compile both x86 and x64 and all trees almost
daily under Windows to check if there are issues. x64 will be provided
in the future but probably not before we are on our own infra.
You can also check comm-central for recent changes. Not all mail news
releated:

2.54+ is unusable right now. I need to talk with ewong if we can do a
contributed future 2.49.x x64 build.
Not serious development is not right. It is just that Mozilla broke so
much with Fx 57+ and still does. Priority was to get a stable 2.49 out
the door.

I'm using 2.53a1 now, 2.54a1 and 2.55a1 are even worse and my

can't be read by the stable 2.51, so I'll change to 32-bit version
somehow if I can't find a 64-bit version, anyone know about an up to
date 64-bit version?
Hmmm, using post-2.49 releases (i.e. non ESR-based) seems slightly
"risky" to me (these releases don't get a lot of testing AFAIU).
akalla used to build a Win64 installer.
It seems like ewong plans to make one available as a contrib build?

Thank you dude, cheers
Good to know but for the frequency, as I pointed out, looks an abandoned
project. The suggested build 2.53a1 I already tried, won't save
previously visited pages, and looks like is an alpha for the 'a1' and
http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-central-trunk/
are the same as offered as M64.info, tested the 3 .a1 and the worse is
the 2.55a1, the good stable 1 with minor glitches was 2.51, but I'm
taking no chances, I'm going with the more reliable 32-bit releases, 4
months and no fixes, just bad 3 releases doesn't tells you, you're
serious about it. Maybe you should release the same versions as 32-bit
but on 64-bit, maybe that way the development would be smoother and easy
to debug and more often updates than jumping several versions ahead and
see them perform substandard
