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

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.
I use Claws Mail for email, but much prefer Pan for Usenet.
