Well, I can actually get through a lot more messages more quickly with the PP turned off, because I don't have to wait for the message to load if I don't want to read it. I tend to interact with the mail table and delete hundreds of messages at a time based on their subject lines. I also prefer treaded mode, and the preview pain doesn't really ficilitate that as far as I can see. When I view or delete a thread, I dispatch all the messages on that topic at once, which again allows me to speed through hundreds of messages extremely quickly.
I'm also a windows switcher and in windows the PP was bad because if there was a virus in an email that didn't get flagged by your virus program, the PP would load the email and potentially run unsafe code on your computer. There were also focus issues surrounding the PP in sertain windows email clients such as outlook and eudora. So, dispensing with the preview pain is old habit for me even if it's not strictly necessary. Best, erik burggraaf A+ certified technician and user support consultant.
