I was originally a Pegasus Mail user on the Windows platform, and I started out using Pegasus Mail on the Mac. Unfortunately, the Mac version of Pegasus Mail hadn't been updated in a LONG time, so it was pretty primitive. I used it until the end of 1999, then had to switch to Outlook Express when I was told that Mac Pegasus Mail had a Y2K bug in it, since it used its own dating scheme (it was only a cosmetic bug, but still, I thought it'd be wise to make the leap). However, from the first day I started using Mac OS X, I've been using Mail.app exclusively. I've liked Mail.app from the very beginning, even in its earliest incarnations. Personally, I just can't understand why anyone would go searching for another Mail solution for Mac OS X. Mail.app is exceptionally powerful and incredibly user friendly. Of course, it IS a consumer app. People who need more powerful E-mail capabilities for intensive business use might find it a bit limited. Still, it DOES have advanced features like the ability to access IMAP E-mail boxes, a capability that a vast majority of consumer E-mail clients don't have. Personally, I'm just glad that Mail.app provides me an E-mail solution that is entirely Cocoa-based and, more importantly, specifically designed from the ground up to integrate seamlessly with Mac OS X.
