The most popular email client on Mac OS X
ShareMail (aka Mail.app or Apple Mail) is an e-mail program included with Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X operating system. Originally developed by NeXT as NeXTMail, a part of their Nextstep operating system, it was adapted, following Apple's acquisition of NeXT, to become OS X's Mail application. Mail uses the SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols, and supports MobileMe and Exchange via IMAP. Both the iPhone and the iPod touch feature a mobile version of Apple Mail.… More Edit

Can be slightly slow when opening my mailboxes and could do with a few more useful features, but is still the best mail client out there.
Apple's Mail is the one mail client I always return to, after having worked with Entourage, Outlook on VM, Thunderbird and dozens of OS X organizational tools with email integration. It just integrates perfectly with third party applications, has a well structured interface and a clean structure.
Mail, like all things Apple, just works.
The search feature, like spotlight, is fast and easy to use.
Smart Folders help me organize messages and keep organized... when my host said I was behind a year in payments from six years ago, I was able to collect all his invoices and my payments within a matter of seconds.
I also use Smart Folders to identify new mail and mail from y kid's school -- luckily that mailbox isn't as frequently used as it once was.
Easiest and most comprehensive mail catcher
Once more: Apple software -> 5/5
It mails things without being annoying
Integrated RSS reader is a bit crappy, but it's a good e-mail client overall.
With WideMail or Letterbox and GPGMail, this is my favourite client on the Mac. That said, I don't connect to an exchange server with it.
My favorite mail application on the Mac. I think it could improve IMAP functionality and allow three-pane (side by side) viewing instead of having to use Letterbox
Mail.app is my favorite e-mail client, and it has been since I started using it. If it supported my Exchange server configuration (it's hosted by Microsoft and requires a proprietary Outlook or Entourage plug-in), Mail would be the only e-mail client I'd ever need.
I just wish that Apple would add the ability to request a read receipt (without a third-party hack). That's the only feature that's missing, in my opinion. One of my favorite features is the ability to choose an IMAP folder and specify "use this folder for..." so there aren't clunky folders all over the place and you don't have sent messages, trash and junk mail stored on your local machine.
I'm giving 4/5 on performance because when I set up my Gmail account with it it downloads every email I have (even the read ones) and marks them as unread, so it says something like "500 unread messages" and it lags my Mac. But this program is awesome, I especially like the Stationery feature!
Mail is a great application. I still love Outlook for Windows but Mail is pretty nie. Used entourage for a while but it's too slow and is pretty bad at displaying HTML emails.
don't like Mail and prefered Gmail
Apple knows how to do it.
Apple Mail is very under-rated, the interface is simple so a lot of people don't realize just how many features it has. It's also very stable, I have 6 mailboxes and over 10,000 messages and it still searches quickly and never crashes.
