DESCRIPTION
Postbox is a new desktop email client that helps you make the most of your email, offering powerful new ways to find, use, and view email messages and content, organize your work life, and get stuff done.
Postbox works behind the scenes to catalog everything in your email. We mean everything: every bit of text, every contact, address and link. Every picture, document and attachment. It’s all in the catalog and it’s all searchable.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.1.0b3:
- Faster Performance - Postbox is now faster and more responsive than ever, so give it a spin!
- Better Looking Images - Postbox contains an improved graphics engine that produces sharper images with more accurate color.
- Improved UI Elements - For our Mac OS X users, Postbox now has more native looking UI elements, so it will fit right in with your Mac.
- More Reliable - 1.1 BETA 1 contains a number of reliability and stability fixes. Please see our release notes for the full set of changes.

OCTBIT Really love this application. Thunderbird was starting to stagnate and the Postbox developers have picked up that base and done something great with it. I also find it's a great replacement for Mail.app. The price may seem a little steep as people move more and more to web mail, but I happily paid it for the efficiency it affords. Good solid app with active developers.

FRODO_LIFE If it just would work. Tried this now for the second time but can not get it to connect to my gmail Imap account. no problems doing the same with apple mail so $49 for something which does not work........ good potential would probably buy if I could get it to work even though it's quite expensive considering mail is free

PROGRAMHAPPY Developer, can you please add the option to sort all messages in the inbox by EMAIL ADDRESS, not just by "sender"? I run a business, and deal with hundreds of different customers every day. I need to sort by email address! Can you please add an optional "Email" column? You'll be my hero! I'm sure that countless other people would also appreciate this sorting option. If you add that option, I will buy the program immediately. Thank you!

PROGRAMHAPPY For a developer who advertises "Smarter Views" as a prominent feature of his/her software, I find it disheartening that he/she has chosen to ignore this "Sort by Email Address" feature request.

DTRUETT1 Had the exact same problem. Also didn't import my Cox POP folders stored locally on my Mac. No Email tech support. No phone number to call. You have to post in a discussion forum and hope that someone from yazsoft answers. I want to get the program, but if they can't even answer a question about POP accounts...

DTRUETT1 Since the developer hasn't answered the question on the community forum, can someone who uses this tell me if it syncs with Mobil Me? Thanks.

TOFI postbox is the perfect tool to search for email that has needed information. That is the only reason I save emails after reading them. Postbox filters and directs emails to folders where I want them to go, whether to junk folder, or important information that I want to save. I could edit the titles to my needs. I could save emails as a conversation to follow up on certain subject. With this version, now I could move emails to different email accounts. I never could think that an email client could be so intelligent, stable and efficient as Postbox. I wish the price was lower, but this is the one that is practical for me. It is more appreciated as I pile hundreds of emails, and as it filters my junk emails. Not perfect ! I wish I could change the color of the dividers as Gyazmail does. but that is a minor issue compare to the many goodies this does well.

MKAY I was actually very happy with it and used it for almost a year. But the lack of transparency in the company's politics ("sure, it's free!" > "well it might be free" > "btw it's 40,-") is the main reason I went back to TB / Shredder. I have no problems paying for software I use but I don't use software I don't trust. IMHO they have focused too much on all that bells 'n whistles stuff (social bookmarks and stuff) than adding something that really sets it apart from Shredder. The GUI is nice but 40,- für a polished GUI of Mozilla Thunderbird? C'mon...

PROGRAMHAPPY Developer, please add an optional "Email" column so that we can sort the inbox specifically and solely by email address. The "Sender" column display a sender's email address OR name. The sender's name is completely useless to me, as my business requires that I sort customers' incoming mail by email addresses. Thank you greatly!
