Again, not a deal breaker but something that’s a bit annoying. It seems that when your email is starting to operate slow forcing an index cleared up the issue. Occasional speed issues were also a problem for some (not that I had any). Depending on how much mail you have this might be something best left for while you’re on lunch as it can take a while and you’re email is not available while Postbox is indexing. I just got in the habit of manually forcing an index of available mail every week or so. I could never find a consistent reason for the search index failure but it happened. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. First the search is supposed to index all your mail (both on site and on the server) to make searching fast.

Just like any software Postbox has a few issues though. Even with that PostBox has a number of extensions that they know work and are (). When I wanted a proper Canadian dictionary I just went to the Thunderbird site and downloaded one. The other advantage of having Postbox based off Thunderbird is that you’ve got a huge list of available plugins. While I could be wrong I don’t ever remember having such an easy time switching email clients even when I was using Thunderbird.

On my Mac it imported everything from Mail.app with no issues. I’ve set up Postbox on 3 or 4 machines (both OS X and Windows) and it’s always felt easy. Clicking the link in Omnifocus will open the email in question, never have reams of unread email as ‘todo’ items in your inbox again.īefore I was a Postbox user I was a Thunderbird user so knowing that the stable platform of Thunderbird sat under this beautiful (seriously way prettier than Thunderbird) client was a huge bonus. I’m no longer a Things user but I can say that Omnifocus support is top notch and welcome. Lots of Keyboard Shortcutsįor you Mac users Postbox also has special support for both Things and Omnifocus. There are way more available so go check them all out and if you do a task more than once in an email session learn the keyboard shortcut. Need to move to one of the other accounts in Postbox hit ‘G’ then type inbox and pick the one you want. Need to move an email to a folder, no need to drag and drop when ‘V’ is right there. It’s a fact that moving from typing to the mouse slows you down so any time you can cut out that movement you’ve saved yourself some time. My second most loved feature of Postbox is the extensive list of () available.

Couple that fact with the awesome license of Postbox (purchase includes both platforms) and you’ve got one awesome reason to drop some coin if you are split between systems and crave some consistency (as I was for a long time). The Postbox interface The GoodĪside from many of the expected features of an email client (multiple accounts, POP/IMAP) the biggest ‘pro’ for Postbox is it’s cross platform support, yeah that’s right it runs on both OS X and Windows. This means that out of the gate the developers of Postbox didn’t have to worry about the little things like connection to different email protocols, basic UI layout…and could focus on providing a refined product to users. Postbox is based on the open source () (from Mozilla) email engine. In steps () to help you battle the deadly time suck that is email. Gaining efficiency in your email sorting/writing/deleting can reap huge gains in overall daily productivity. Certainly if you’re an online worker (designer, programmer…) then email is a huge part of how you run your business. Email is something 99% of us do every day.
