One advantage to an all-in-one. Is that I don't have to open or switch 
to another application for example  clicking on a URL in an email. Boom 
, it running.  If there is a Mailto in the web page. Boom, your 
immediately presented with a Proper email already addressed and ready to 
type subject and content.

with three applications  You open email and need to go to a link 
referred to then you need to open the desired web Browser. If your in 
the web browser and need to go to a Mailto and the mailto opens the 
email nothing is transferred ove it just opens an email window with not 
even the recipient address filled in (it should be).
As for News groups every newsgroup application  is either awful looking 
or you need a PhD in engineering to setup

In FireFox and Thunderbird use many of the same components library 
files. yet instead of sharing them and reducing the actual footprint of 
the applications. They duplicate opening those libraries, wasting 
memory, and not working smoothly together. For example clicking a Mailto 
opens a Blank web page first then switch to Thunderbird. That shouldn't 
happen it should instantly open TB and open the blank email with the 
recipient filled in. There is very little integration. which important 
to me I want everything to work seamlessly.
