i think I am soon tired of thunderbird 3.. I could revert to vers 2 but
why is the newer vers slow, laggy, semi-stallish?
has anyone else a funky thunderbird vers 3? any switch values to cause
it to work quicker?
alternatively,
what is your favoured mail news client for POP3, IMAP, Syndicates, news
groups NNTP, all in one?
I want a better program.

I've been using Opera's Mail client. It is a no nonsense mail client with
support for all above and it integrates with Opera itself obviously. It is
closed source and not in the official repo's but you can find it in AUR.
When TB3 came out I've tried to switch in combination with uzbl or firefox
and kick the last closed source app off my laptop. But TB3 is terrible
imho. I've also tried Claws/Sylpheed for a while but that interface is so
spartan and I don't know if it has NNTP support.
In the end you should try at least Opera and Claws to see which fits your
needs.
