Well, this is quite off-topic, but I just went through HELL with my Thunderbird email client. It has been acting flaky for a while, with about 2-minute hangups every now and then. When it does this, the CPU utilization goes to 100% for the duration. Now, suddenly, these delays are 8 minutes long! This is with Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 on a 1.7 GHz pentium 4 just updated to 2 GB of memory.
I tried to update to Thunderbird 3.1.1, and the delays with that are 67 minutes long! I have a HUGE number of emails stored in many folders going back to 1997, and also have newsgroup folders for such as rec.crafts.metalworking. My newsgroup service has everything going back to 2003, so there are 600,000 message headers for the R.C.M. group alone. I think Thunderbird is constantly "indexing" this stuff for some reason, although I have tried to turn off EVERYTHING possible that I don't need. So, what do others use for email and newsgroups on Linux systems? I'd need something that could import the mail files from Thunderbird.
