Subject: Re: Which EMail reader for BIG volumes of mail?
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
