Christopher Biagini at Assorted Geekery has written an extensive review of what he considers credible alternatives to Mail.app. It’s not easy for these apps, he says:

It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s tough to compete with an app that?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s bundled with the OS, so each of these guys know that they have to bring something special to the table in order to get people to switch.

Mailsmith has BBEdit?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s text-fu magic, GyazMail pimps its Cocoa-ness, and Thunderbird rocks extensibility and cross-platform goodness.

But for Christopher, Apple Mail rises to the top. There is only “one email client to rule them all”.
