its not over-looked; but there have not been any recent binary
releases - the current versions are in source code form only

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnuzilla.git

there are community packages though - fedora, guix, and parabola
have icecat binaries packaged, and there is a debian package on
the OBS, and a PKBUILD on the AUR - those would be the easiest
way to use the current versions

https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Alosuler%3Aicecat&package=icecat

I've seen binaries of IceCat for Android on the F-Droid app and store, too.

SeaMonkey and Thunderbird should export contacts as a LDIF file...
... and ClawsMail can import LDIF files.
https://www.claws-mail.org/manual/claws-mail-manual.html#ch_addrbook

More, either TB, SM and CM have plugins to import/export the addressbook
in CSV/vCards/ICal plugins.

So you should be able to easily export contacts from SeaMonkey/Thunderbird
and import them in ClawsMail.

I was a TB user (years ago), now using ClawsMail: better a lot!!!

Let me suggest Devuan! Directly supported DE (during installation) are
MATE, Xfce, LQDE, KDE and Cinnamon...
