Calling all power usersĮvery client will show you messages, of course, and plenty also let you narrow those messages down to just the ones you've flagged as reminders. But the more you venture off the beaten path of forwards and replies, the more you begin to see what Postbox can really do. In short, you can rest assured that Postbox 7 covers the basics well. As with previous versions, Postbox's help files proved clear, concise, and easy to follow – which is good, because as you'll soon see, you'll probably want to consult them more than once. That process was understandably poky, but not agonizingly so. On an aging laptop or a modern iMac, the app felt fast and responsive – at least once it finished indexing all 2,000 of my downloaded messages. The programmers' promise that Postbox 7 is three times as fast as its predecessor holds up, too. And once that was finished, a flotilla of useful, coherent tutorial videos popped up for my edification. I dreaded having to slog over to Gmail and create yet another app password, but nope! Postbox not only configured all its settings correctly based solely on my email address but also helpfully opened a window to Gmail to walk me through its end of the setup process automatically. Setup's a snap, too, whether you're starting fresh or importing settings from a previous version.

$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.
