I just don't see the point of using Programs when you have things like Gmail on which you can have loads of stuff, withouth cramming your computer or having library problems and stuff.

Right now, I have 52mb on Gmail. I'd rather have it there than on my mac.

And I can do a simlilar search (like spotlight) in gmail too.

Do what you want, I don't care, but I will keep my email in my own possession.

I'm with you on this one - I can't rely on having web access to get to my email messages... and the whole posession thing.

That is, unless I own the server.

The only problem I have with Mail (and probably other mail programs) is that I can't easily send from email aliases. Brown University gives me tito@brown, titok16@, and tito_jadsfjaofsa@, and tjadsljaofsa@. To send from those names, I have to have an account for each of those, since they all just forward to one address. Will another app do this?

I can't remember how I got it but right under my subject line I have a pull down menu that lets me choose where I want my email to come from. I have a choice for each email account that I use mail for.

I think this is how you get it - while composing an email there is a little box in the top section that has horizontal lines in it - open it and click customize. From there you should be able to select which fields you want to be shown when composing an email - the accounts drop down is one of them.

If you're using .Mac and have aliases setup, Mail.app will use them automatically.  For IMAP or POP, just comma separate your addresses in the Email Address field of Account Information.  See also Email Aliases in Apple Mail.  That gets you the popup and behaves as if all the addresses you list are one account.
