![]() I like Postbox because it is clear, secure and gets the additions that I look for in a mail software. Would recommend it to anyone who needs Mail sotware, beyond using the smart phone for everyday use. Beyond what you have to, and one has to sort, group and have a workflow beyond Apple mail and where Outlook gets too "hot" on notifications and integration. In sum, I am happy with the purchase if you are a major user of mail, but do not want to spend much time on it. Maybe a task management would also be nice (also together with the Nextcloud server). So it is difficult to save or accept invitations directly to a calendar. Some years ago there was a calendar add-on. And I miss also the CalDAV integration with an internal calendar. So at the moment I have in Postbox different contacts than on my smartphone and tablet. CONSįor business use I miss two things really much: integration of CardDAV to use my contacts that are stored in my private Nextcloud. Then it is very easy to forward received attachements in a new mail with this sidebar in the compose window where you can see the last received attachements. A big advantage is a very good "3-pane-view" and the quick filters for "unread" or "with attachement" or VIP persons. In Postbox I like how easy it is to manage a lot of mailboxes (to group them for example in "business" or "private"). But the other two have the better groupware and collaboration features (with add-ons). ![]() It is much better than Outlook and a little bit better than Mozilla Thunderbird in the usability. I manage all my business and private mails. ![]() That is always a very dubious reason for not adding features-obviously, there must be some business users who would have the demand for Exchange support but then don't even bother with Postbox once they find that it is missing! I've already requested Postbox to add support for Microsoft Exchange, but they said there was insufficient demand for that feature. I now use Postbox only for my personal accounts and then Outlook for my work account. Then, to make things worse, my employer blocked IMAP on its Outlook accounts, so I cannot use Postbox at all any longer for my work email account. First, IMAP is not a full replacement for Microsoft Exchange, so there were so many little things that just didn't work right, even after I carefully followed the instructions on Postbox's dedicated page to customize settings to try to work around those issues. My big negative is that Postbox does not provide native support for Microsoft Exchange-it only provides IMAP. For example, when I delete messages, even if they have not yet been read, they are automatically marked as read when deleted so that I don't have to do the two steps of marking a message as read and then deleting it. In addition, there are so many tiny details that are almost invisible yet work so smoothly-I barely notice them until I work with other clients like Outlook. ![]() They are well thought out and so make my email use smooth-I can easily do so many common tasks with just one key click, such as moving messages to folders. Probably my favourite aspect of Postbox is the keyboard shortcuts. I'm a big fan of desktop email clients, rather than web clients, mainly because I can do a lot of email work even when I'm offline. My only major negative is that I cannot use it on Microsoft Exchange-that is, the only negative is that they don't allow me to use it even more! PROS Overall, Postbox is great for my personal email, as I've described above.
