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.
