I use Gmail for the UI and the Search. Otherwise I would just run
Postfix+Dovecot on my server. I still plan to actually, but I keep
hoping if I put it off long enough, someone will make a good
search system and a UI I can enjoy.

Installing the top ten addons from AMO will about double the number
of stat()s on startup, I believe. And some are definitely memory/cpu
hogs. A few are outright buggy and will cause crashes and other
serious badness.
I can't live with a browser without them, though. And Mozilla at least
needs fewer than FF to be a reasonable browser. As far as resources
in general, for years Moz was far better at dealing with large numbers
of tabs, but Moz has only gotten a little better, while FF has improved
a lot, so they are pretty close. Actual memory used is pretty similar
(the allocator, etc. is in Gecko, so that makes sense).
