On my netbook, Thunderbird seems really unstable, it stars up
fine then seems to stall and fails to respond, it eventually
picks up.

One thing that will "freeze" it is using its own download facilities
to fetch the mail, used to bug me pretty badly, but when it did come
back, everything I had typed into a message came back with it. So I
offloaded that fetching of emails by making fetchmail, procmail,
clamscan and spamassassin all into background tasks that have minimal
effect on kmail. Now my freezes are maybe a second as it sorts an
incoming email that has servived the spam and viri filters.
Good point! (this is Thunderbird not KMail but still applies)
For IMAP mail, I recommend more modern alternatives to fetchmail:
* pullimap
* offlineimap
Could you recommend one of them to use with an install of the
box-add-gui alternative for Teres-I?
As far as I can see, pullimap needs libconfig-tiny-perl and
libinterimap, and offlineimap needs python-imaplib2 and python-socks.
Perhaps one is more lightweight than the other?
Best regards.
