MailMate does not have distracting bling.  It has a puritanical approach 
to getting work with email done.  So there is a lot of functionality, 
but not a lot of business: no pretend folded pages, etc.

When I first moved from Mail, the three things I liked most were:

- oriented around plain text mail, not HTML
- ability to file and move between folders using cmd-t and cmd-opt-t
- fine-grained search

Strangely, the single most important feature for me is the way that 
certain accounts are associated with certain addressees.  You create a 
new mail, add a prior addressee, and the sending account changes 
automatically.  For anyone who maintains several identities (e.g. 
personal, work#1, work#2, forums) this keeps it straight with zero 
thought.
