I prefer the 'nix way of using small focused programs to do a single task.
I have not been pleased with any combination mail and news reader. I stick
with pan.

OTOH, the advantage of using a product like Thunderbird is lack of a
Window manager dependency. For example, Evolution requires Gnome, KMail,
et al, KDE. Pan, while officially a gnome product, does not depend on it.
