My wife has been using sylpheed for over a year. She has used various
versions of sylpheed and sylpheed claws.

She does not like it. It continually reflags her read emails as unread
(bold again).

It does not display attached images. Setting up a mailcap is not known to
her.

It is now slow to retrieve emails. (It retrieves fine but then redraws the
top list numerous times as it indexes(?) the new emails.)

What should she try? It needs to be a friendly, point-and-click GUI
interface. Hopefully lightweight without needs for KDE, QT3, nor GNOME
libraries (but maybe that is not possible).

Evolution?

Thunderbird?

Kmail? (Maybe not enough features?)

Balsa/Balsa2?

She has many emails in MH format (to convert if needed).
