The default Mail app that comes stock with Mountain Lion is a big step up from earlier versions, but it still has a lot of room for improvement. Over on Mac Appstorm, they've put together a guide for getting more out of the default app, including making it simpler to use, and adding a better workflow.
While the crux of their system relies on organizing your email with smart inboxes, it's also all about a custom layout that makes Mail easier to use. This includes using the new basic layout, showing the favorites bar instead of the side bar (View > "Show Favorites Bar"), and using Gmail-style conversations (View > "Organize by Conversation").
The end result is the default (free) Mail app is a lot more inline with the likes of our favorite email clients, Sparrow or Postbox. If you're a big fan of Mail, or you just don't want to pay for an email app, head over to Mac Appstorm for a full guide to make Mail the best it can be.
