...yeah - but you're out in the cold, so it's time to light a fire.
I have 8 accounts and all manner of different processing priorities. I
suppose I could take a month and drum up different sound bites for each
account, customer and severity, but it STILL isn't as easy as looking up
at the Growl notification and seeing who it's from. I deal with hundreds
of messages/day. Growl enables me to do triage without having to disrupt
what I'm currently doing.
I'd use rules again - starting with each account sorting into
appropriate inboxes/filing systems. And again, using a different sound
for each account if not sender...that's not much different from using a
cell phone. You could even have the System read them to you, pretty
sure that's built in though Assistive Services - but then I hate talking
machines more than Growl or Notification Center...but you could do it
that way, I think.
Personally, I don't use SM as my primary mail client - I use Apple Mail.
I only use SM Mail for convenience as I'm browsing or
"usenetting"...is that a word?
And that's something I tried, but didn't enjoy at all. I've been using
the classic suite for browsing and mail since 1997 (Communicator). I've
used it on OS/2, Linux and, since 2007, OS X. Besides, once Apple stops
supporting Snow Leopard and I'm forced to upgrade to Lion, the last
thing I want to use is Mail.app with its full-screen mode. Ick.
YMMV an' all that. :)

I haven't upgraded to 10.8 and was suspicious of 10.7 because of full
screen apps until I got my Mini - at least with 10.7 you have an option
to go full screen or not, and from what I've seen of ML it's pretty much
the same...but I haven't really seen much of the bigger cat.
I have had a brief encounter with Windoze 8 and real full screen apps
and found it absolutely, 110%, *HATEFUL*. So I feel your pain.
Supported or not, my SnoLep machines will never be upgraded...and my
10.7 machine probably won't be either. The only way I'll ever get ML
will be to buy a new machine, and even then I'll likely partition and
install a reversion - back to 10.6.8 if I have to.
