Evolution or Thunderbird

I used Evolution for a while. I like it except after a while it seems to
take forever to switch between the mail and calender feature. It seems
to become memory hungry. I used Thunderbird for a very long time on
Windows and am using it again. I found its much better at junk mail
handling than Evolution. Unfortunately it doesn't do lists so its a
problem when I need to send a email to my soccer club and I have to add
all 80 people in by hand. I always had problems with filtering on
Evolution. For example, on the main Ubuntu list I want to see my posts
in Blue and Evolution would never do that no matter how hard I worked at
it. Thunderbird does it easily.
