A default email client that actually works and doesn't grind to a halt, 
even when your sister sends you a 4MB photo of your nieces. Thunderbird 
is an improvement on Evolution but I find that neither of them is as 
fluid and well behaved with large email as MS Outlook 2003 is (which I 
use at work).

I know that there are probably some settings I can fiddle with to make 
Thunderbird better behaved but I'd like it to be well behaved out of the 
box.

Cheers,
