Thanks to all who so kindly responded. I am writing this from Mint 16 
KDE 64,
using Thunderbird, which I installed from the ubuntu repo you mentioned 
above.
I put it in the repo line in Synaptic (a system I am familiar with) and then
looked for T/B in the listing, and sure enough, there it was, so I 
installed it.

(I am aware that there is a newer version of Mint, but I'm not sure i 
want it.
I think it may not support KDE anymore,  in which case, I know I don't!
Also may be snarled up in systemd, which already has a bad rep!)
