Opera with every option turned off, e.g., Javascript, Java, Plug-in, and cookie.
Reason:
1. Most useful websites use plain HTML and hyperlink, so there is no need to turn on Javascript or Jave. Even Gmail provides a pure HTML version. Java(script) are turned off for security reason, and to reduce resources usage. They can be turned on only when neccessary.
2. Plug-in: If it for displaying pdf, then the pdf files can be downloaded and viewed by FoxIt; if it is for video, then it can be on only at that time.
3. Most websites do not ask for cookie. Some websites (which require you to log in) do not work before cookie is enabled. Enable when required.
4. IE is used only when needed. Some websites do not display or function well in Opera.
Email/Calendar:
Thunderbird using POP3, with Lightning add-on.
Feel like Outlook both for email and calendar.
POP3 is faster since it does not resync like IMAP (correct me if I am wrong).
Lightning can connect to GCal directly using XML link. Calendar data is small compared to email, resync is fine.
