Claws Mail client has gotten increasingly buggy over time on Linux.
Now it crashes often. It especially crashes when accessing pop and nntp
over a Tor proxy. The way it interfaces with the gnu nntp library causes
it to crash a lot. This newsreader has become aggravating to use. It is
almost like someone put the bug there on purpose to discourage Tor usage.
I am looking at Sylpheed as a replacement. Does anyone have experience
with Sylpheed? What has that experience been like? Do unexpected bugs
hide in its woodwork? Has the developer gone AWOL? What is the status of
the project?
I can't use Thunderbird. It takes 30 to 45 seconds just to open the
program and it freezes up periodically.

hmm... i'm not a linux user, but tor browser and omnimix tor both
work great in every popular version of ms windows (from xp to 11);
i would start by searching links for using tor browser with linux:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=linux+site%3Atorproject.org

and search links for using sylpheed & claws mail with tor browser:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sylpheed+linux+tor+browser
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=claws-mail+linux+tor+browser
https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/
https://www.claws-mail.org/

other newsgroups might be helpful (one newsgroup at a time), e.g.:

news:alt.comp.linux
news:alt.comp.os.linux
news:alt.privacy.anon-server
news:news.software.nntp

tor browser 13.5.2 (2024-8-6)

omnimix 2.7.3 (2024-05-12)

many linux users out there in usenet land . . . what works best?
