Which EMail reader for BIG volumes of mail?

[Charles Jones]

My only suggestion is that Thunderbird is 3x more stable than Evolution 
in my experience. In fact, I have NEVER had Thunderbird crash or hang, 
just take a long time downloading headers of a huge mailbox, which you 
cannot really avoid unless you have a GbE connection to the mailserver.  
I re-try evolution every 3 months or so, and always have to stop using 
it because of crashes and hangs. Others I work with have experienced the 
same.

Maybe she should just use gmail :P
