I too use TB for similar reasons to you - our choices sadly are pretty
limited. Basically the 2 UI's in play are kde and gnome so ... we have:

a) kmail.
pros: basically works.
drawbacks: Its fragile (kde, akrofarti, nimrod etc). Refuses to
recognize that composing html is important.

b) evolution - probably the only real alternative.
cons: clunky UI - prone to crashing a lot.
pros: supports in encryption, calendars, maildir++.

c) a few scattered low key players.

d) TB.
pros: generally works ok.
cons: slow and built on ancient decaying software framework -
should be written from ground up. gpg may not be supported. Devs are
obsessed with strange choices (gloda).
Ok so .. this is what we're trying to replace ;-) ;-)


e) None of the above - but what ?
