Back to Thunderbird
It's ages since I blogged but I thought I'd at least update that I have switched back to Thunderbird for mail. In fact I switched quite a while back. I got tired of Sylpheed blocking to fetch mails. Thunderbird continues to eat up memory like crazy ("top" output broken into two lines to fit blog column):

tried evolution? I use thunderbird under windows and evolution on linux.
Evolution *seems* to cache IMAP connections and data better, and also good integration with the gaim address book.
I even felt the same while, Seems it performs better on windows. Or may be i never checked the resources being used.

If you are really bothered about resource-hungry Evolution, how can you prefer Thunderbird, which is, if anything, worse than Evolution when it comes to resources?
BTW I prefer Mutt anyday.
Hey
Nice blog you've got. Thunderbird is the only mail app that I've used, and it does what I want it to; checks mail, has filters and beeps when I get new mail.
Yet, it seems to take a while now, with a filling mailbox and lots of mail. I don't know abt evolution and kmail; probably only a question of getting used to them. But then again, thunderbird is usable everywhere and one doesn't want to change (sounds similar to the IE-firefox inertia ...)
