I used use TB on my Windows PC for mail and usenet.  When I moved to the 
Mac I used Apple Mail for a few months, but disliked it for reasons now 
forgotten.  But TB doesn't integrate smoothly with OS X (IMO) for moving 
documents (attachments) in and out so I switched back to Apple Mail. 
But I still use TB for usenet.  Setting up Apple Mail for POP is a PITA 
as it gravitates to IMAP for servers that have it (such as gmail) and 
occasionally (about 1/ yr) it upgefuchts the POP settings completely and 
requires maintenance account by account.

I attempted to use MS Outlook on OS X as it was part and parcel of MS 
Office for the Mac.  On a PC, in a work environment Outlook is the best 
(if greatly complex).  However Outlook would present some windows (like 
days of the week in the calendar) in Finnish or Norwegian (some such).

I tried to fix these issues via the Microsoft support site (which blamed 
everything on OS X and me in equal measure) but none of the solutions 
offered ever worked.  (Other people has similar issues).  I gave up on 
Outlook (but Word, Excel and Powerpoint are fine).
