I have been using the Mail since the first version of System X. Before that I was using Claris E-mailer. Using .Mac + Mail saves me time. Now I can retrieve my e-mail from any PC or Mac with internet access. I wish Apple would strengthen Mail's anti-spamming feature though. Lately, it's allowing too many messages with 'viagxx' , 'erexxxxxx', etc. when I have it set up to move such e-mail to trash. Well, that's another topic.
