This might be a kernel issue. Since Xubuntu and Lubuntu are the only
flavors supporting 32 bit, I wouldn't be surprised. Might want to dig
through syslog and dmesg and see if there are any errors. Do you have
the same problem in a virtual machine?
3. On past levels of Lubuntu, Thunderbird Mail was the e-mail
client.
Nope, it was always Sylpheed. My guess is you installed Thunderbird and
as you upgraded it remained there. Don't believe me? Look for
Thunderbird under the list of dependencies for the [bionic
lubuntu-desktop package][1]. It's not there. But Sylpheed is.

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?
