elfsThunderbird!
Ah, and it's a good week, too. I wonder if I can make endorsements. Take one: "Hello, Elf Sternberg for Thunderbird Wine." Take Two: "Hello, Elf Thunderbird for Sternberg Wine." Take Three: "Bwahahahahah! My Minions are about to be unleashed. >hic<"
I switched from Evolution to Thunderbird. Evolution is the premier mail client for Linux, but on my tiny laptop it was a complete and utter pig, running multiple processes (including multiple, independent instances of the Perl VM running spamd), and in 128MB there's just no way I could run it effectively without shutting everything else down. So, I tried shifting to Thunderbird. Thunderbird is actually bigger in individual instances, but it's a single instance running multiple threads, so its time management is better. I don't need in a home appliance the "to-do" list (I have DevToDo for that, and Instiki, which I like), or the super-duper address book with contact list, or all of the other features. I just need a reliable mail client. Thunderbird is that client. It's fast, it handles spam very well, and it's much faster and lighter than Evolution, overall. Oh, and it integrates with PGP very well.
