I am using PowerMail from CTM Development, <http://www.ctmdev.com>,
because it's the the only email client I found that could replace Claris
Emailer. It is like 95% there, and if you were not using CE before you
wouldn't miss what isn't there.
Lots of nice features, good OS 9 support and very nice in OS X. Supports
POP and IMAP, multiple identities, decent in and out filtering, decent
applescripting and the best UI of the current crop of email programs.
MailSmith has great filtering and searching, but for me the heavy price
paid in terms of speed (searches took forever on my DB) was too much.
There is also a decent program out there called Gyaz Mail which has a
great CE-like UI, is OS X only. Downside is it's still in development
(but very promising even at this stage).
Finally, I also took a look ath an email program called "GNUMail" which
is an open source effort to improve on the Next mail app under Mac OS X.
It's pretty good, but wasn't my cup of tea.
If anyone has the power to resurrect Claris Emailer I'd be the first in
line to purchase a copy for X (I'd also be first in line to offer
programming services to make it happen!)
