I agree with Jack.  I was an Outlook Express user myself before my jump 
to OS X.  Ever since I made the leap, I've been using Apple Mail and, 
personally, I've been fully satisfied with it.  Not to mention I'm very 
glad to have gotten away from another Microsoft product.  :)

Truth be told, I wasn't sure I liked Mail at first, either, but it 
really grew on me.  Of course, my mailing needs are relatively simple.  
I do a lot of attachments and I'm on a lot of mailing lists, but I tend 
to stick to plain ASCII text for the messages themselves (mostly because 
I communicate on so many mailing lists across so many computing 
platforms that ASCII has the best chance of being handled properly by 
EVERYBODY'S E-mail app).  Still, I find Mail to be a fine client.

I say give it some time.  Maybe it'll grow on you as it did with me.  :)
