(this is gonna be a long discussion... ;))

Why I don't (yet) like Claws Mail:
- No default html rendering of emails (possible with a plugin and manual 
selection)
- No possibility to compose a html mail
- Ugly default icons
- Really annoying alternating colors in the folder list

Why I do like Claws Mail:
- Blazingly fast! (/low memory footprint?)
- Everything just works...
