Don't people notice the memory usage of programs any longer, since evolution takes a lot more memory than thunderbird. Evolution has 4 processes with a total virtual memory 470MB Thunderbird has 3 process with a total virtual memory 140MB And don't get me started on the exchange module will takes even more! Stick with Firefox and Thunderbird. Andrew
