After reading this thread last night, I wanted to try Slypheed-Claws.
I'm a long-time Thunderbird chat, so I was a bit hesitant. 

I didn't visit the site to see that there are little applets to do what
I did manually (import mail, rules, & address book) but, doing all that
manually wasn't an issue. In fact, importing the mail was actually
pleasant!

While I still love the overall look and feel of T-Bird, I equally love
the speed that SC has over T-Bird.  

I have not reviewed the Win32 version - but for now, T-Bird works on
the Windows boxen at work.

For now - I am a convert (until I find that
SC just can't do what I want it to).
