   Well, opening firefox to my homepage takes up about 49mb... so by comparison    
   it isn't so bad, now is it?  Since thunderbird re-uses the XUL application    
   framework, and impliments it's renderer, iirc, using the gecko engine.  Same    
   as with Firefox.  Also, compared to most heavy GUI applications, less than    
   100mb of memory isn't so bad...  I have 2GB in my laptop, 8GB in my desktop...    
   why should I really worry about it so long as it is performant.   
      
   If you can suggest an email client, that works with multiple accounts as well,    
   and is as portable too different OSes as thunderbird is... I'd be willing to    
   take a look.
