Setup's a snap, too, whether you're starting fresh or importing settings from a previous version. Postbox is best described as 'Apple Mail but with literally every feature you ever wished Apple Mail had, plus some other features, plus more features on top of those.' $30 per year - Download now The email client you never knew you wanted Add that to a frankly ridiculous level of useful abilities, and you've got an app that makes a solid case for keeping one less tab open in your browser. The previous version looked stodgy, square, and gray the new one blooms with 20 eye-pleasing themes. The last version I tried layered impressive features atop the increasingly creaky underpinnings of Mozilla Thunderbird Postbox 7, while still based on Mozilla code, has a far sturdier – and faster – foundation. Yet the brand new Postbox 7 has succeeded in turning my head. I spent so much time in my browser anyway that firing up another app to check or send messages seemed pointlessly time-consuming.
But over the years, I drifted away from Postbox, Inc.'s eponymous pride and joy, and every other dedicated email app, in favor of just checking Gmail on the web. I liked Postbox's previous versions when I reviewed them for other sites.
