What a marvelous suggestion! I have learned that Thunderbird IS supported.
Here is the list of supported clients:

I'm running Ubuntu on a remote VM and using VNC to open a very simple
XWindows session. I'll take a look at installing and launching thunderbird. If
anyone has any general wisdom about getting Thunderbird to run, I'd be happy to
hear it. I'm much more of a Linux user than sysadmin, so am happy for tips.
