>they all seem to suck in some fundamental way. FWIW, in Postbox it seems to be speed.
That's because Postbox is based on Thunderbird, which is not a path to creating a fast, lightweight mail app.
I can only think of a handful of desktop mail engines for the Mac (Mail.app, Thunderbird + children, Entourage, Sparrow). If mail clients suck, it's because more people need to write one.
Outlook for Mac 2011 came out. It has some major missing features (won't run rules on the Exchange server, no auto-archive), but the calendar works and it's a serviceable mail reader. Better than Entourage by far, I would say.
