Xubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin | Replace Thunderbird with Sylpheed?

[Alok]

I might add , how easy it is to to setup a google mail account with
thunderbird. I agree that the focus of xubuntu is no longer to be the most
lightweight *buntu, but to give the users a rich xfce experience without
being bloaty. And thunderbird may be slightly heavy, but it is not bloated.
