I bought Postbox at version 1.0 to support the developers, but was initially very disappointed. The integration with OS X was nearly non existent. I stopped using it within days - especially as I use Spotlight constantly and Postbox emails did not show up: every time I searched for an email and clicked on the result, Apple Mail would launch. Very annoying.
This lasted up until 1.1.0. But with 1.1.1 EVERYTHING has changed for me. Integration with OS X is now very good - and I am sure it will improve even more over time. The combination of all the features of Postbox + the OS X integration makes it a killer product. Frankly, version 1.1.1 is misnamed: it should be at least version 1.5, if not version 2.0!
Well done Postbox developers for such an amazing upgrade - I am sure many long work hours went into it. Now, I hope you will concentrate on the eye candy a bit more: the interface still smacks of a Windows XP crossover.
To all power email users out there: give Postbox a try. It is leagues better than Thunderbird and Apple Mail.
Let's get one thing out of the way: the software works, and works well. HOWEVER, these guys are out of their mind when it comes to pricing... My recommendation: buy it for one year only, because you can bet anything that Apple and/or Google and/or third-parties will come out with a cheaper way to sync iCal with Gcal before your subscription runs out. And Spanning Sync will be out of business. Serves them well for pricing this software out of the roof.
This software is great. It'll be even greater once us Europeans can have full access to our local Amazon databases, but for a casual use, the US Amazon works pretty well.
My only question is: why doesn't Delicious Library use the CDDB database, as iTunes does?
