I agree that Thunderbird is sometimes too frustrating and even though I have set it to fetch mails in every 3 minutes, it doesnt fetch as and when required. I have two gmail accounts and two accounts of the mail server hosted at my web host. > I send mails from Thunderbird , because it makes for better / easier > referencing when off line. > Thunderbird's User Interface is better than other mail clients available for Linux.

I shifted from it to Thunderbird some months back. Evolution has lots of bugs, many of them are unfixed even though I reported it at launchpad.

My personal thinking is that there is no *At Par* mail client which matches that with Outlook 2007 of Windows and Entourage of Mac. Now I would love to see a bloated choice of a mail client rather than a mail client tending to be lightweight but crashes now and then and not reliable.
