Aye, the microsoft culture has finally invaded linux.
No kidding!
In more ways than one... It's nice to know the new thunderbird only requires about 100M more RAM than thunderbird 2.x did. Good lord! So much for tight, well optimized code that uses minimal resources. Take a look at:

Why don't you guys try something like claws or sylpheed, if you are having problem with thunderbird. I have used claws a couple of times and I can say that it consumes minimal resources (for a graphical client). Also, for browser based solutions maybe you can give opera (it includes a good email client), or seamonkey a try. In the end if you don't have something against cli clients, you can try mutt or sup.
