...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.
I use Mountain Lion (OSX.8.x) all the time and you switch to full
screen mode by click on a button that lookes like two arrows one point
to upper left and one lower right.
Click on that and it goes full screen. to get out either press the esc
key or just mouse up to very top of page where the menu autmagically
reappears then mouse over to the same arrow button this time its
highlighted in bright blue. Click on it and full screen disappears.
The biggest thing I don't like and have turned off saving backups that
you can remove to desktop. and spaces which I don't use. When I switch
to (Mavericks OSX.9.x) there will be additional crap I will have to
turn off.
In applications that are setup for Mountain Lion (OSX.8.x) there is no
Save As but a Duplicate feature however Apple put it back after the
outcry from users you have to hold down Option Key then ⌘-S
I was one of the ones to put up a fuss. Using Save you append the
changed material to the end of the document with Pointer to make and
view and Print correctly. The problem with this is; it makes the
document more complex and easier to corrupt and Break.
Using Save As you make a fresh new document with all the appended
material placed in proper position and all the pointers removed that
were at the end of the document. This makes the document more
efficient, compact, and removes any possible corruption.
In the new duplicate feature your just making an exact copy of the saved
document with all the appendages.
They screwed up big time on that one.
