Sorry for the late reply guys. For some reason as yet unexplained Thunderbird decided to tell me I had unread emails but wouldn't display them! It's not running slowly at all, it just freezes at random points forcing you to power-cycle. I will be taking another look at it later on today. I may try a re-install with one of the other flavours, we'll see.
