I know that Mr. Singer might be surprised at by answer to this post, but,
since Office 2008 came out and OF COURSE I bought it, I have to say that
Entourage does an excellent job of handling email.  It even has some pretty
good junk mail filters built right in and saves me a lot of time not having
to read crap.
I'm am very impressed with the Entire Office 2008 suite of Applications
though I do still prefer Keynote to Power Point.  Word shines as usual and
Excel is still the choice of millions as far as a spreadsheet app.
So, confused about what mail application to use?  Entourage 2008 is the
CLEAR answer.
