If you're connecting via IMAP, I've found Claws-Mail to have something
like 5X the performance of Thunderbird. I've found Thunderbird to be so
slow as to appear completely broken. I don't know if this would help
you, but when I use my local desktop box copy of Dovecot, I find
Claws-Mail is *much* faster and easier to use as a repository to
repository transfer agent than Thunderslow.

HTH,
