I have been using irssi (+bitlbee) for my IRC/IM needs for ages now, 
works like a charm for me. And thunderbird has been my mail client ever 
since 0.2. so I'd agree they are nice choises. I haven't used 
thunderbird for usenet stuff though; I only used usenet for downloading 
purposes. Used pan as a desktop-solution. Worked fine in my opinion. For 
a more server-like solution you may want to take a look at SabNZBd.

Yep, feel free to try out some stuff but choose whatever *you* think 
works nice

Good luck,
