You seem to have missed the point about bloat and sluggishness.  MUAs
written in GTK+/C (Balsa, Cronos II, Paranoy, Spruce, Sylpheed), or
FLTK/C++ (Post Office), or WINGS/C (Aileron, YPMail.app), or
GNUstep/Obj-C (GNUMail.app), or GTK+/wxWindows/Python (Mahogany), or
GTK+/Perl (Pronto, SoapyMailer) are all many times lighter and faster
than any of the Java ones.  Heck, even the Qt/C++ ones (Aethera,
Kiltdown, Liamail) can typically manage a 2-to-3-times improvement.

Yeah, I notice the list of things that are "not Java's problem" keeps
growing.  ;->
