Thanks Sajolida
Here's a few of the main reasons Icedove is not for me at the moment:

* 'Fetch headers only' doesn't work - blank download means retrieving
the message from the server
* There's no download message size limiter - good when data restrictions
need considering
* Headers display incorrectly - seems to freeze on one message when
selecting others.

I have really tried getting on with Icedove. I need a dependable client
in my everyday work. I'm no great fan of Claws, however its usability
and functionality is far better. And I use it with POP so the security
issue didn't affect me.

If you would like more information just let me know.
