well firefox is bloated too. 33 megs for an email client to sit there
and do nothing is a bit much, maybe i'm old fashioned.

well lets be practical here. something like an email client shouldnt
have to depend on a ton of memory. i have a shitload of memory too, but
when i open up taskmgr and see any simple program eating up 100 megs,
that's enough for me to say 'damn!'

well i use what works for me. like i said i use poppeeper and that works
with multiple accounts and web email providers. i dont really have the
need for my client to be portable for different oses. yes i use windows
vists/xp/ubuntu/mint but i dont need to have all my shit sync'd on each
computer.
i'm sure you could find something to take a look it if you use google :D
