Thank you for your comments.

I will do my Xubuntu testing today.

My question about Thunderbird mail, is not that it isn't the recommended 
mail client.  The potential problem, is that if it won't run on Lubuntu 
18.10 (actually, on Lubuntu 19.04), I will have to use a different 
distribution (such as Ubuntu or Xubuntu) for my production system.

Which brings to mind another question.  The latest version of the 
Eclipse integrated development environment, can only be installed as a 
snap package.  Do snap package installations work on Lubuntu?
