I agree. I just set this up a few days ago, and using SpamBouncer with procmail is great; it's a little overly zealous about labelling things spam, but it's still better than anything I've seen before, and I'm configuring it to be better as we speak.

Apple Mail, because it interfaces nicely with GnuPG, and works well all round.

I love Mail.app, but they need to fix their searching. It only lets me search the currently selected folder? If I know which folder to look in, I don't need to search! On top of which, it gives weird results. I don't know what's up.

okay...so I like MS Entourage

I have a hard time hating MS when the MacBU actually puts out some decent software - they are actually at the point where the features I like outweigh the ten others that I don't use or irritate me.

I like having a decent contact manager (you cant PRINT from addressbook!) with my email, and when I check my email it reminds me of things to do!
(I remember to check email, but not to check what I should be doing today so it's nice that it reminds me).

I DO like mail.app but it doesn't have the bells and whistles I've come to rely on - and Addressbook.app sucks!

Entourage X...

handles Mail much better than Apple's solution. The rules actually work in Entourage, whereas for me in Mail, they would work about 50% of the time.

Also, I like having the Calendar and scheduling features.

And finally, I use Entourage because even though it's not here yet, Entourage will have a Palm conduit for it by late May, where Mail/Address book does not have any means of synching this information with a handheld (at least not yet).

I still use Mail on my laptop, since it's very easy to set it up to check your Mac.com account.
