So far so good... I  managed to free up a few hundred MB of space just 
by deleting all the junk that various Windows Update / service pack 
installs etc. had left behind, so I now have Thunderbird installed plus 
more disk space free than I started with :-)

Early days yet (lots of config to do and rules to set up etc.) - but at 
least it's handling email headers properly, which LookOut! seemed 
totally incapable of doing :)

thanks all,

Jules
