Pronto is great if you are running a PIII/Athlon 1.5GHz, w/ 1024MB of RAM. For those of us with a k6-II 400Mhz, w/ 64MB of RAM may want to avoid pronto. I admit thatfeaturewise, stability, and threading ability pronto is hard to beat.
But Bynari's Tradeclient runs a close second and uses 1/3 the RAM of Pronto.
Doesn't support local mail. It only handles pop etc-( Pronto just seems to hang while the installer is running-( Nick

I tried it too... Running on a Pentium 200 with 96 MB RAM... no problems there... performance is great (especially the mailchecks in the background). No crashes, so stability seems rather well... only the GPG support is still very low... and a couple of bugs in the search function... (GPG/PGP messages are not decrypted by pronto, don't know why). I guess this is going to be one of the better mailclients, but it still has some hurdles ahead...

Sylpheed would probably be my fav. if it could multi-thread. Auther claims it can, but it locks up while sending or recieving. Don't worry, it unlocks after. _________________________________
