Thunderbird

[Lonni J Friedman]

I gave up on evolution about 2.5 years ago, after trying to use it for
an hour.  It had to be one of the most bloated, buggy, unstable pieces
of software i've ever used (and that's including alot of crap in
Windows).  More than half the time, it would hang just starting up.
When it didn't hang on startup, it would hang when checking for new
mail.  Granted alot of development has happened over the past 2.5
years, but from your sporadic accounts of problems on this list, it
doesn't sound like much has improved.  I've been happily using
Thunderbird for years.
