Be aware of database corruption if you get a lot of mail - you can lose 
everything in a folder if it does. All the major mail programs have 
problems like this. Emailer's problems are mostly fixed with rebuilds, 
but not always. I think a lot of people are waiting for an OS X product 
which does not have database corruption risks.

Also, you cannot turn off incoming html in apple mail, which sucks. And 
it doesn't work with ebay, as if you sell something, you either get the 
users data in a tiff file, where you can't use it, or you don't get it at 
all if you don't allow images in html files. There is no way to get non 
html from ebay if your client is set to accept html format.

So Emailer is still best.

"Jessica Lynch," he called, "Wešre United States soldiers and wešre here 
to protect you and take you home." She looked up and replied...
"Išm an American soldier, too."
