Just some examples:

In my experience, both, Claws Mail and Sylpheed use a lot less memory
(RAM) than Thunderbird and Evolution.

Thunderbird and Evolution are using a lot more memory (RAM).

Also, Thunderbird is no longer being actively developed by Mozilla, see:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/New_Release_and_Governance_Model

By the way:

I am not too familiar with Qt email clients yet, but, as far as I can
see, there is only one Qt email client available which can compete with
Claws Mail and Sylpheed in terms of memory (RAM) usage. And that is
Trojitá (http://trojita.flaska.net/). However, at the same time it
seems to offer less features than Claws Mail and Sylpheed. So, not sure
if it really could replace Claws Mail or Sylpheed. Just saying.
