I’ve been using this for a week now, just installed the Calendar plugin as well and this thing rocks. Not only does it have read receipt options but also it has the ability to show animated icons which mail lacks.

[...] Ah tá. Esqueci. O Postbox serve para Windows e para Mac e comprando uma única licença, você pode ter as duas versões instaladas em computadores diferentes. Veja mais sobre o Postbox no The Apple Blog. [...]

I downloaded PostBox, and have been trying it out for a few days. Honestly, I think it’s counter intuitive to Getting Things Done. I’ll try it out for a few more days though.

The concept of GTD, is to have zero messages in the Inbox, and to delgate actions, etc…. It seems this application is expecting you to save all your emails so you can reference them later for some reason.

The program is quite a bit slower than Mail.app and takes longer to load images and attachments.

Also the integration with Twit, FaceBook etc, seems like another distraction that really does not belong in an email program.

Just my 2 cents. So far I’m not impressed at all. I will keep trying it out for a little while longer as I would hate to make pre-judgements, but these are my impressions so far.

This sounds like a good email application. Reminds me a lot of the Google Wave email in some ways. I do agree with Andy a little though, It could be some what complex however, most new technologies seem complex at first. I would really have to use it more to make that assessment.

The great thing about Mac apps is that they are intuitive, Postbox is too complicated. Also, I just imported Mail data and I know that Postbox isnt giving me the info I know should be there when I do a search. Sorry, it is gone.

Postbox absolutely rocks.

But I’d give it some time. It needs to get out of beta before I can really start using it. Nevertheless, this is going to be the BEST mail client available on OS X after its release.

I have used Postbox for over 3 months and have now decided to go back to the good old Apple Mail. Postbox has been too slow for my taste. Specially for sending out an email, it takes for ever. It authenticates for ever before sending emails.

Ready to download the Beta pronto…..but I handle 40% of my email via my iPhone. What about synching with the iPhone….critical to me!

Mmmm… It seems they send out the beta download link manually as I also gave them my email address but have yet to hear anything about where I can download it.

Scott:

I signed up the minute I saw the sexy goodness, I HAD to. Call it software lust, gotta have it, whatever you want. I signed up there before I posted here! :)

I seriously look forward to testing the beta – and hope that the price point is at my level.

Thanks Scott!

D, we are sending out invites to folks on the signup list (http://postbox-inc.com) in small batches as opposed to all at once which is why some folks have already received their invite. We’ll let you know when your invite is ready, just make sure you are on the list :).

Definitely some interesting features. I do wonder how it holds up for bigger mailboxes though, one of the weakpoints of Mail.app. 30.000 messages is not that big really i would like to see it tested with 100 or 200k messages.
