It's in ports and its probably what you're looking for, fast, function 
and a fair bit of eyecandy.

I honestly opt for Opera because its fast, functional and it has all the 
functionality I want built right in.

As for mail, it seems Opera dropped the ball on IMAP support. It's 
utterly horrid in Opera 9. Because of this I go for thunderbird because 
it just works the way I want.
