You didn't say anything about what you expect from your Desktop 
Environment, but I generally recommend KDE to Windows power users and 
Gnome to the others. Xfce and LXDE are excelent for less powerful 
computers.

If you don't mind writing only plain text mails try Claws Mail (it can 
render html mails with the proper plugins). It's probably the fastest 
GUI mailer.

Pidgin should be able to do video and voice on GTalk (XMPP actually) and 
kopete on Yahoo. I understand amsn is quite good for MSN.
