Agree, I use a 3MB DSL connect, and now, courtesy of my new job, I am
using a free 8MB cable connection. Both are solid, consistent connects
with low noise and no lost packets. Thunderbird and Mulberry work
flawlessly with my Fastmail IMAP, TB! is senile and geriatric.

I have inflicted high line noise and throttled my bandwidth on both my
broadband connects. Mulberry works great, Thunderbird works, but
slightly degraded and TB! packs it in and goes home despite fiddling
with precise counters, number of connects etc. BTW, why are these
(counters etc.) a feature in TB! anyways? Every other IMAP client ticks
along fine without these options, or are they a way for the user to
overcome shortcomings in the client instead of actually fixing the
blasted thing? Just thinking out loud....
I can't think of ANY version of TB! where its performance has been
faster than Mulberry by a wide margin.
And don't forget accurate, I've never seen Mulberry display the wrong
message body, forget how to count etc etc
