   As I recall (it's been a year or two since I switched) Sylpheed was 
timing out on one or two IMAP connections...waiting for the 60 sec 
timeout, then rebuilding the IMAP connection, at which point everything 
would be fine...until the next time when it would timeout again..etc 
etc. I spent a lot of time configuring and reconfiguring, Googline the 
problem etc. Thundebird never seems to have the problem.

  As far as plugins, CLAWS is the definite winner. Sylpheed has very 
few (if any).
