After more investigation, it looks like I was wrong in blaming Adobe Acrobat for the problems I was seeing in Thunderbird. I upgraded Thunderbird from 1.5.x to 2.0.x - and apparently the new version is significantly more demanding of resources. Having Acrobat in the mix just compounded the problem (resource usage), but Acrobat per se did not prevent Thunderbird from working.

With Acrobat removed, Thunderbird is usable, but still noticeably slower than the older version. Me and my cranky old 866 MHz PIII Frankenbox will just have to make do, somehow.
