I like a lot of things about Postbox. It's a terrific mail program in many ways and well worth a try. I love the easily clicked on favorite contacts list. I like the way attached images can be displayed and the information about the sender that is easily accessed.

A couple of things I don't like, however, and one is a dealbreaker for me. The first is try to email someone at the company directly to either make a suggestion or ask a technical question. Clearly, they make it difficult if not impossible to hear directly from even paid users. I have no patience for software developers who put a wall between them and their users.

The second is a killer feature you can add to mail.app that is just so useful that I don't want to give it up, and you have to if you use postbox. That is the third party mail notifier Herald, whose developer won't support Postbox. Herald not only notifies you of new mail but it also lets you respond, file and delete your email without having to leave the program you are working in. It's unbelievably handy. I wrote the developer and just about begged him to add Postbox support but he said he had no intention of doing so. People have asked Postbox to include a notifier with similar functionality instead of the weak-by-comparison Growl, but I have yet to see a response. Too bad. While mail.app can use plenty of improvement, it's ability to work with Herald means I'll stick with it. Too bad.

This is a marvelous program. I love being able to type or write on the screen, and the developer is one of the most responsive I've ever dealt with.

I just had occasion to reinstall iemulator, and it reminded me what a great program it is. the manual is truly exceptional. Installing windows is enough to give anyone gray hair, but the manual really takes you through it step by step. It took a while, but was a snap. Then I installed the program which was the reason why I got iemulator in the first place, and it worked perfectly.

I did have one question though and it was answered immediately. I really couldn't be happier.
