I have no problems without using Alfred, Mail is always open : cmd+tab

I would have no use for the original app in the link, I mean how hard is it to just do cmd+tab and cmd+n in Mail ?

The reason is I can leverage muscle memory with alfred. I don't need to look at my screen to determine which app is mail. I can slap ctrl+space and type mail in the time it would take to cmd+tab to it.
