For me, Mozilla Thunderbird  (0.6-1) does page down with the space bar. 
 As you reach the bottom of a new message, pressing the space bar will 
move to the next unread message. The space bar does not advance you to 
the next message if the message is already read.

Be sure your focus is on the message pane/window.  There have been some 
Mozilla issues with focus (see the bug reports).

Otherwise, I'm unable to offer any suggestions beyond checking 
mozillazine forums, then filing a bug report.

On a positive note, be sure to grab mozilla-thunderbird-typeaheadfind to 
enable the "find as you type" features as you have in mozilla and firefox.
