Thunderbird, Usermin (our webmail client), GMail, and the Android mail application, in that order.

All of my @virtualmin.com mail comes to one mailbox via aliases, and I can access that box from home on Thunderbird, the web with Usermin, and my phone with the G1. GMail is for personal stuff, and for chat.

Our support is handled through a ticket tracker, which makes things dramatically easier to manage.

Mail.app with MailActOn (http://www.indev.ca/MailActOn.html) which I am not affiliated with and is not free. Use it for 7 email accounts, lots of RSS, all filtered carefully into one combined inbox and organized manually but quickly into local folders with that MailActOn app.

In my experience heavy use of Mail.app results in accounts that do not get checked for email, and show no connection error or indication of a problem. No email for an hour and I restart the app. I wish refreshing my accounts actually displayed the status of checking each account, it is very obvious sometimes that the refresh button does basically nothing or at least doesn't inform me in any way what it is doing...

I can't believe I'm going to say this

don't laugh, but I use outlook, and .........AOL.

I've had the AOL account for years and I've never cared enough to switch it over (it handles all of my spam like e-mails anyway).

I've never really cared about my e-mail client in general. If I were motivated to switch - which is the most intuitive for organization?

Surprised there isn't any votes for Postbox app (http://getpostbox.com).

  * It integrates well with gmail 
  * does great with multiple accounts 
  * multiple outgoing addresses 
  * great search functionality 
  * GTD tools such as assigning emails a topic. 
  * Integration with facebook/twitter to pull up contact info 
  * Extensions such as calendar and contacts
Based on thunderbird, all around awesome client.
