Sylpheed Claws is too fast. It is actually based on the superb Sylpheed. Sylpheed Claws adds more enriched feature to the existing highend technology of Sylpheed. Some of its features are

  1. Very good performance
  2. Easy configuration and operation
  3. High flexibility
  4. Better mail/news composing handling
  5. More advanced ways of handling headers and attachments
  6. More powerful handling of MIME types
  7. Per-folder default reply-to address and threading mode configuration
  8. Pixmap theming

Sylpheed Claws comes with a number of plugins. I recommend to use all those. Like it shows attached picture/HTML by Dillo browser.

Terminal

Rxvt is an 8-bit clean, color xterm replacement that uses significantly less memory than a conventional xterm. Dramatically faster than Konsole. It can be configured to support better font size, colour, background noline. I use rxvt -cr green -pr red -bd red -name "This rxvt is modified by J.Bakshi" -sr -cursorColor2 red -scrollColor white -troughColor black as my configuration

rxvt


Another very fast and small terminal is aterm. aterm is a colour vt102 terminal emulator, based on rxvt 2.4.8 with some additions of fast transparency. aterm uses much less swap space -- a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions. Here is my configuration aterm -cr green -name "This aterm is modified by J.Bakshi" -sr -cursorColor2 red
