Unison is really the only way to go I've found. It's a pretty new program, hasn't been updated in a while, but the developers are hard at work on a major update to it. For now, it works great for me.
Unison from www.panic.com is great for most things (although not yet perfect). Better than the alternatives, imho although perhaps too-focused on pictures for your needs...but it does regular messages just fine, kinda like Mail.
Just be smart about using usenet, your email is hanging there for the taking by spambots when you post. That, and becareful, no telling what crap you'll find by accident. NNTP tends to throw things at you that you would never have asked for...grrr...lousy protocol if you ask me...
I searched for a good newsreader when I got my iBook a few weeks ago and the only one I could stand was Thunderbird. Works really well. I only use it for usenet. I use Mail.app for email.
If you are able to use the student discount then and don't mind paying for it, you can get Office Mac for $135 and get Entourage (mail/usenet), Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.
Entourage is very similar to Outlook Express without the added bloat that OE has. I use it for my primary e-mail address and reading usenet newsgroups.
I use Unison for pix,etc. And I use MT for general reading and binary download. I have tried several others, but I just didn't like them for one reason or another.

It's nice that some programs have much the same interface now as they did in 1995...

Very easy to use. Clean UI.
