I use Postbox but I couldn't rave about it. What don't you like about Mail app?

Hi Sean

Just out of interest what don't you like about the inbuilt mail program? I have tried outlook, thunderbird, and entourage and come back to the standard mail.

Hi rob, as i said above i am not saying i don't like it what i am asking is what do people use then i can take a look at them all and then decided what to use.
 
Thunderbird... Works great.

Added: hostgator recommended that I change to thunderbird (actually they said move away from Mac's default mail client) because it was polling their servers for email and not closing the connections.

I had many accounts across different domains and it kept resulting in my websites going down. Anyways this hasn't happened since moving to thunderbird.
