Mac e-mail showdown: Which program delivers?

For many of us, our e-mail client (mail program) chose us rather than the other way around. Apple's Mail sits in the dock of every new OS X-based Macintosh.

Or if you're partial to Web-based e-mail, such as Hotmail, Yahoo Mail or Gmail, you're probably using a browser by default to create, read and respond to e-mail.
