Skin Thunderbird with a Mail look
Apparently someone by the name of "Riz" has a love-hate relationship with Apple's Mail, for Riz has gone and created a pretty darn accurate Mail theme for Mozilla's Thunderbird.
While I don't have a copy of Thunderbird to test this, it seems the look, feel and most of the icons are all present, offering a bit of a home away from home if you prefer Thunderbird's functionality, yet miss Mail's good looks.

Pretty darn accurate? It only just about manages to look vaguely similar.

I've used it and it is very Mail like. However I think there were scroll bar issues. I also wrote the developer to do a Mail Tiger skin but he hasn't gotten to it yet.

I don't get it. Mail 2 is super-fast, works with Address Book and ..er.. what's the word? Good!.
I have only used Thunderbird for newsgroups, but it is sluggish, and buggy.

Thunderbird has smart folders and priorities for those not on 10.4. Has labels, extension support and is a great alternative. On 10.4 I run Mail, on 10.3 I run Thunderbird.
