This can't be done without extra effort in Thunderbird. Called Topics, it automatically searches across folders for messages with the same tag. Two other innovations are worth highlighting: you can globally extract attachments, links, images, or contacts into a single tab, and there's a remix of Thunderbird's Labels feature. Postbox will ask you to import e-mail, contacts, and other messaging data from Thunderbird, Outlook, Google, and Yahoo when it starts. Postbox is also obsessed with tabs, so that each new mail can open traditionally or in a tab of its own. From there, you can upload to Twitter, FriendFeed, MySpace, Delicious, and Google. Much as Songbird changes Firefox's tune for audiophiles, Postbox takes desktop e-mail hard toward Web 2.0, with fast links to upload contacts to Facebook and pictures to Picasa.Ĭlick on an e-mail, and the preview pane not only shows the text, but extracts all links, images, other attachments, and contacts into a Compose Sidebar for easy management. Make no mistake, Postbox introduces some innovations that Mozilla could learn from. * no more TB plugins compatibility but it’s not a problem for meUsing Mozilla's own code, Postbox rivals Thunderbird for alternative desktop e-mail clients.
#POSTBOX 6 REVIEW PROFESSIONAL#
It’s a lot of money if you don’t use a mail application in professional environment. I was happy to pay for lifetime as the new price is 30US$ for one year. * price has changed these last years from 15 US$ each version to 40US$ for a lifetime license. So **Thunderbird **was second choice but after **Pocomail**, TB is like a tank, heavy, not convivial at all (and I used it many years).

The best one I used was **Pocomail**, a really ergonomic application made for users. I think I tested all email applications the last 20 years.
#POSTBOX 6 REVIEW PLUS#
Mail support was quick from the developpers (and free, I never paid for that) TB compatibility is a plus as you may migrate from one to the other without any problem. I rarely met a problem, bug or needed to kill the application. I think it’s the best mail application (for the moment) considering usability, very user friendly. no more TB plugins compatibility but it’s not a problem for me.price has changed these last years from 15 US$ each version to 40US$ for a lifetime license.I sent my message to features demand.īut perfection is not in this world.
#POSTBOX 6 REVIEW UPDATE#
Update : I tried to report a problem that looks like a bug and support needs payment. All these are in Postbox (Gmail is a pain to use compare to Postbox).ĭatabase is compatible with TB so you may use tools conceived for TB (no problem with Mailstore) I need clear listing, quick filtering, favorite mails at top of listing, quick answer, good management of attachments. When I read or write a mail I need very clear an readable interface and Postbox is the best for this. Clear interface, very smooth even with more than 6000 mails in database, nice themes, clear options and features you won’t need (templates for newsletters…) but who knows. Postbox was an alternative but I was convinced only by the 6 version. So **Thunderbird **was second choice but after Pocomail, TB is like a tank, heavy, not convivial at all (and I used it many years). The best one I used was Pocomail, a really ergonomic application made for users.
