About Postbox

Postbox is a fully-featured email app designed to provide users with access to all of their email accounts in a single interface. The app supports any IMAP or POP email account, including Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, AOL, iCloud, Fastmail, ProtonMail, and more. Users can install Postbox on Windows and MacOS devices.

Postbox allows users to group their accounts to keep personal and work emails separate. Go-to folders can be added to the Favorites Bar for quick access, and quick filters let users organize emails automatically. The search includes advanced query capabilities, so emails can be found based on their date range, subject, sender, or other attributes.

Postbox is offered as a one-time purchase with no monthly or annual subscriptions, and licenses are per-user so can be used across multiple devices. Support is provided via a knowledge base, video tutorials and help desk.

Conventional scroll bars - yes, non disabled people can use them without the need for counselling

I think I have made my point, but other issues... The merging of Postbox v. 7 and Outlook 2019 would provide the ultimate e-mail management application. Once Postbox Inc. staff extricate their heads from the sand, they could have a much better product.

Functionality

Pros:

I really do like the smart folders, and the ease at which they can be created. Having e-mail addresses from our three domains, two businesses and personal e-mail, makes this a life saver, and something not possible in Oulook 2019.

Cons:

As somebody who has cerebral palsy, the scroll bars implemented in v. 7 of Postbox slow me down, and are unnecessary. Suggesting that non-disabled people cannot use conventional scroll bars is insulting, and if I were non-disabled, I would be questioning Postbox Inc's low opinion of me and others like me. Encryption should be easier to setup, and not to be able to schedule a date and time for specific e-mails to be sent appears to be a glaring omission, as is the inability to insert a signature at the cursor. The lack of read receipt options is also a major let down, and somewhat surprising.

Simplicity is the key!

I am able to work over multiple email boxes, be quick in my responses (as a quick reply option!) and i can change my email signatures with ease. I am really enjoying the program so far.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I like that it is very user-friendly, simple to use and does what I need. It does not go over the top on extra things that you don't actually need when sending and working on emails. No gimmicks, simple and easy. I can make changes to suit my needs very quickly, without having to navigate a whole load of items that are not required. The support is good, and there are videos if you get stuck. But for me, it is the simplicity of it all, that it is quick and easy, I can change the default theme with 1 click, and it only took a few minutes to set up how I wanted it.

Cons:

It is yet to have a calendar added to it, but I can use others until that comes in. Also, it does not separate clearly how old emails are, it would be great to have a divider between each day's emails, just so it shows more clearly.

Reasons for switching to Postbox

I do not like how Gmail works, it is just not for me, so I moved to Outlook and have used it for years, however, with my work, I have a lot of large emails, and Outlook stopped working as I filled my inbox. I tried multiple new programs, around 8 in total, all of them, I was having to change how I worked and used the program to fit with it, which was annoying. This program works how I want it to, so works with me, not against me.

Overall, my experience has been positive. It would be nice to be able to request a feature and receive a response from Postbox staff as to whether there is any possibility of implementation.

Functionality

Pros:

Postbox is relatively easy to use. The overall interface and design are well-done, which contributes to ease of use. Postbox has powerful search features and searches are rapid, after initial indexing has occurred. The ability to quickly filter by contact name or by other message characteristics is also very nice. Displaying just the names of attachments and being able to quickly review them is a big plus.

Cons:

The most annoying feature for me is that selecting a topic for a message will add that topic to the entire message conversation. Often I want to tag different emails in the conversation with a different topic tag but this isn't possible. I've used Postbox for many years, but as my number of saved emails has accumulated, I need to be able to categorize them individually so this "feature" is increasingly leading me to consider other email software options.

Reasons for switching to Postbox

I switched most of my emails to Postbox from Thunderbird when development of Thunderbird was slowing down. I continue to have to use Outlook from work. Originally Postbox was far superior. Outlook has gradually been improving but is still more expensive.

Pros:

The clearly and logical structured user interface that never leaves you wondering where the function you are looking for might be hidden.The wonderful filter by contacts is one of those great features of Postbox... if not the best!

Cons:

Difficult to say... maybe the lack of a powerful spam filter in the default setup. But that's nothing that can't be fixed. I'm still happy with my selection.

Reasons for switching to Postbox

I'm sure Outlook is more powerful than most (if not every) other Email client but it is so packed with features that it gets hard to be used.Postbox is sized down to exactly what I need and not permanently confusing me where I might find what I'm looking for.

Streamlinec communications for the multi-preneur

As a user with multiple projects for multiple enterprises going at the same time, I found myself missing communications or misplacing threads because of the sheer volume. Postbox has helped me to better navigate the deluge of email communications that I receive, and to filter what is necessary to focus on now and what can be stored away.
