I have to grudgingly agree that M$ Entourage is the best (for now, anyway). The main factor in my chosing it is the ability to create rules with multiple criteria.
I'm actually using both Entourage and Mail.app (for different accounts), and with Entourage I have succeeded in blocking 99.99% of spam messages. Also, Spamcop.com keeps telling me that messages I forward from Mail.app don't have the headers included, when they definitely do.

I personally can't stand Entourage. It just has too much crap that i don't need, and it's too slow and it's made by Microsoft.

Apple Mail and the Address Book give me all the features I need for E-mail and contacts.

fetchmail, procmail, mail

about sums it up. even though i have been known to use other, more gooeyish MUAs. At one point in time, elm w/MIME was good.

Mail.app is not bad, but it really needs something in front of it; procmail does nicely.

Mail works just fine for me. I just could use some more filters in the 10.2 version. I used to use Outlook when I used OS 9, but then switched to Eudora.

Why is there the option of Netscape then the option of mozilla? They are the *same thing*. A moderator should delete netscape just leave mozilla and add mailsmith or something...
