Mail is great for a basic email app I see no need to change it at all.

I bookmark my Hotmail in my Firefox and put it in the toolbar, one click and I'm in my hotmail... I've Firefox more or less always opened or hidden.

You can do that too to Safari I think.

It's good providing you use the iDisk, oh and the added features within iLife can be a bonus but other than that it's simple mail address so don't expect wonders
