Thunderbird runs just fine here, but I've switched to claws-mail a while ago because I'm running on very slow hardware (500 MHz VIA C3/Eden), where Thunderbird really crawls at a snail's pace (Firefox too, of course). Yet even then, it doesn't take proportionally very long to start up. Thunderbird (and Firefox) are just big resource hogs, that's all. If you experience VERY long start up times, you have another problem. I once had startup issues on a diskless setup, and it turned out to be a weird problem involving gconf2, threading and lockd. It went away after I disabled NFS again and used real disk storage. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
