Hello all,
I have been using Postbox for a few days now and I am happy with it. I will pay for it. It works better than Apple Mail - particularly with Google. It is very similar to Apple Mail but with more features. I have some specific comments I share below.
- Install took about 5 - 10 minutes. I did not use a clean install but rather imported things from Apple Mail. Worked great - but did not bring my signatures (or rules) across.
- Not sure what Password Manager was at first so said no to it, but after second or third prompt I did in fact use it. I believe it will prompt every time it connects to upload / download email.
- I attached Postbox to Dropbox as I love the feature where if I drag a file from the Dropbox Shared folder and drop it on an email the URL’s will be done automatically for me.
- I started the indexing manually (Tools / Indexing / Index all folders) and it downloaded all email messages first and than did the index. Took a few minutes.
- My first impression was very similar but with a hint of power.
- It pulls in pictures for people from a variety of places - I did hook it up to Twitter too and I quite like that.
- It handles message threads a little different but still easy to work with.
- I am not using any extensions - I don’t currently need any. I am not using the Lightning extension to bring Google Calendar inside Postbox.
- I tested on Retina MBP with no issues.
I will share more as I learn more, but for now I can say it is worth the 10 US$ to purchase - and I will. Several things I did not like between Apple Mail and Google do not occur any longer and there is more functionality here that I can grow into if I want.
Michael
