Claws is useful and has some functionality that Profimail on the E71 doesn't have, such as PGP, but for 99% of my email the E71 is first choice.
my E71 does a MUCH better job accessing my emails.

If only it were that simple!
Modest will always index all your subscribed personal folders, so if you have even one folder with lots of messages somewhere in your tree you'll still hit the problem (bug 3762).
Unsubscribing that folder (which you may not want to do in the first place if you want to access it from certain other MUAs) may not help either, as Modest sometimes (depending on the IMAP server) will ignore IMAP subscriptions and fetch the entire personal folder tree (bug 3484).

That's OK, modest starts choking when a folder reaches around 10,000 messages.
Very few (right now 3 messages, although it does occasionally spike up to 3 digits). I do have a few "archive" folders (mailing lists and such) with over 50K messages though and that's the problem as there's no way to tell modest to stop looking at them.

I use Claws for everything and never have any issues -- aside from some b0rked offline caches once in a while.

I also test modest and file bugs from time to time in the hope that it will be usable in Fremantle but I don't find it suitable for normal use. The Fremantle version does look a lot better already, but a serious dealbreaker is that it still corrupts message flags (bug 2536).
