For email, you can use the built-in client or Claws. For podcasts, you can use gPodder. I'm pretty sure there's a password manager on the N900, but I have no idea what it's called. Same for ebook reader (although I'm not sure why anyone would want to read a book on an N900 or GS3 for that matter).
As for Google+ and Twitter clients, I have no clue if there's Maemo clients for them. If there are, then I'm pretty sure they're either old or broken. Perhaps someone else can point you in the direction of those.

There's an app called password safe. I don't use any of the anti-social networks so don't know about twitter or google+ apps. For ebooks there's apps like Dorian, E-Books and FBReader.

+1M for Modest (the built-in email client). By far the best mobile email client ever.
There are about three ebook readers in the repos; the one I settled on is FBReader.
I do not use any of the rest so cannot advice there.

There's a keepassX port for N900, so much work needed on the UI, though still usable.

The random .deb on TMO doesn't open version 1 files and the version in the repo is unusable

After couple years of using Samsung Galaxy S3 I'm thinking of undusting my old N900 and getting back to using it. I believe it needs new battery though.
I have a few questions about current apps availability. Specifically I'm thinking about:
1. google+
2. twitter
3. podcast catcher
4. ebook reader
5. mail client
6. passwords keeper
Thanks for suggestions.
