Just to add the comment . . . I had a fresh install of Lu Next **highly
experimental OS** 18.04 installed, and then went against the suggested
method of doing a fresh upgrade for Lu 18.10, and **experimentally**
upgraded the unsupported 18.04 via console update/upgrade to what is now an
**unrecommended** Lu 18.10 system . . . and somewhere in there Thunderbird
Mail has appeared and is functioning perfectly well . . . .  As Walter
mentions that may have added "bloat" into the libraries of my install . . .
nothing wrong with Sylpheed, but, I just like TB . . . .
