1.4 !new! | Email Lite

Unlike Thunderbird, which has slowly accumulated a calendar, chat client, and RSS reader, Email Lite does only email. And it does it fast. The application binary for version 1.4 is typically under 5 MB. To put that in perspective, a single Gmail tab in Chrome often uses 200 MB of memory. Email Lite 1.4 can run comfortably on a Pentium III with 128 MB of RAM.
