Hating my mail

elfsI have never found a mailer program I like. Never. The text-based ones have poor spam detection, and the UI-based ones like Evolution or Thunderbird are just slow. Evolution was such a resource hog I just can't put it onto my laptop, and Thunderbird, while not being quite the resource monster or having quite so many bugs, is so agonizingly slow that using it is always an act of last resort.
It's especially bad if I'm running the transaction over a remote X connection. The draw routines, especially when typing a title, show up pixel-by-fraking-pixel! It's like thinking with molasses in your cranium.
*Sigh* I'd love a text-based program that just gave me my mail, and a filter as effective as thunderbird's. I can't live without the spam handler, but I can't do email effectively with the state of the art.
