Eudora for important things, Mail.app for everything else + its spam filter.

At work�
Mail.app

Entourage - I like it's integration with Hotmail. Also the address book and calendar in one app is nice.

Mail.app.

It's got a decent spam filter, it has an option to not load images, good rule filtering system, and it's free.

Although my favourite mail app ever - Claris Emailer.

What about for PCs? (Might not be a wise thing to ask around here!)

I use Mail for Mac things...or Entourage...like Mail more though.

But, what about for PCs?

Outlook just seems so slow and bloated.

Thunderbird seems okay.

Like Incredimail too but to use it properly I had to pay $29. At least that's not too much.

Wish there was Mail for Windows/PCs.

Entourage:2004 (better Exchange support) at work.

I look forward to some nice improvements in Mail.app's Exchange support in Tiger...

Interesting. I couldn't get Entourage to work at all with my companies exchange server, but mail.app does.

It took some work, and some silly settings had to be enabled; however, it's been fine since I figured that out...

Mail - it works for me, so why switch to anything else.

I eat the same thing every day. It keeps me alive.

Panda bears are pretty!

Ok, I am really bored at work, someone save me.

I agree on all points. I'm using Mail.app now. Emailer was the shiz.

Moved from Entourage v.X which, from what I remember, had too much other stuff for me.
