I'm using the same combination; I thought I'd try Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on

certainly made the lappy usable (except it suffers from the choppy

an old version of Agent, and find that Pan has some annoyances.

How do you Collapse All Threads? Doing a Get All Headers in Selected
Groups automatically collapses all threads on some groups but not
others....

You can add a regex to get rid of annoying people, but there's no
link to where these are stored. You can modify them individually, if
you can find the now-hidden messages....

Still, the 'modern' appearance of Pan and Thunderbird are quite a
change.

I can't comment on Pan or Thunderbird as I don't use them. Have you
tried Claws Mail for email and newsgroups? Also Forte Agent v6 has a
Wine platinum rating if you prefer that.
