Hi,

I've been using Thunderbird on my Suse Desktop for years but have grown ever 
more frustrated with it's unreliability which seems to get worse with every 
update.

Main symptoms are it randomly fails to download mail, just sits there and 
times out (POP3 or IMAP), I know there's nothing wrong with the mail server 
and using telnet or another client on the same machine proves this. Or I'll 
send a mail and it'll spend an age copying it to the sent items folder where 
it'll time out saying it couldn't do this (no explanation why), try it again 
and it'll be OK.

If I try and re-install it, things improve but it's not long before it's 
struggling again.

I use it on an MS box too for my personal mail and it's fine, but on 2 
openSUSE 10.2 machines with KDE it's hopeless.

I've decided to bin this and try something else, possibly Evolution, is it 
possible to import my mail from Thunderbird into this?

What mail clients do the folks on here recommend for Linux?

Regards

Matthew
