Postbox Reviews & Product Details

Postbox has a MASSIVE amount of features for a mailing app, so many that I would easily say it rivals Outlook in its abilities to act as not just a mail program but a full contact manager. GMail users especially (like myself) will enjoy how familiar the interface is, and how many of GMail's Labs features are built right into Postbox. They also have updates fast and frequent.

Two things stick out in the dislike column. First, even though this program works on both Max and PC, much of the marketing is geared towards the Mac environment rather than PC, which can turn people off. Also, on the function side, as a GMail user I have many, many tags I use to organize mail, and the Postbox program doesn't allow you to SEARCH those tabs while trying to mark a piece of mail before archiving it, which can be tedious.

Beautiful UI, with some great searching and indexing features. IF you want offline access to email with some high-powered search & sort features, it's a great solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though PostBox is just Thunderbird with some paid-polish, the latest version removed some of the best features like Extensions. Given how slow the developers release updates, it makes it somewhat of a no-go if you want things like Contacts Sync with Google, or integrations with anything special like SalesForce or other tools.

Plus, their Google integration is just confusing and weird all around. The way they try to mix Folders & Labels, and having multiple Junk Mail systems that don't seem to work properly in their default configuration (Google's anti-spam and PostBox's built-in spam) just result in a muddy inbox.

It's easy to add mailboxes that you manage, and the interface is clean! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a little pricey for a mailbox manager; the company should offer a simple solution to sync mailboxes and settings across all devices. It does not support Android or iOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it because I have no limits to synchronize or connect emails from different services, I have emails from Gamil and shared Hosting and I control everything from one place.

Themes and graphic interface perfect for work, interpret HTML to send personalized messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like that I do not have a version for Linux, perfect tar but that great detail is missing to be able to work on my phone, Windows and Linux at the same time synchronizing everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like that it's a unified inbox but able to separate into folders. Like that you can change and customize themes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dislike that some options aren't intuitive or have too many clicks (like being able to filter by unread). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's clean, streamlined and the desktop app is really good. But it has a MAJOR flaw. No mobile companion app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s the 21st century. 70% + of users check their email via mobile devices. And yet… NO MOBILE COMPANION APP? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It looks nice, it's slow but it works most of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lots of little, very annoying bugs. Release cycle is super long, and there's barely anything new each time except themes. Yes, they try to sell you themes for an email client...

You buy the software, but they charge you 8$ per support request !

Basically you buy a supposedly production ready software, and then when things go wrong, you're no your own unless you pay up, and even then, your issue probably won't get fixed for a few more months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've tried them all, Postbox is not the most beautiful but it is the most efficient. I can move mail around in a flash, find it even quicker. I can sort it every which way and there are so many ways to categorize and find it that I can take my inbox from 2000 messages to 100 quickly. This is extremely important for someone that gets a huge amount of mail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customization of the Themes could be a little more intuitive but that is being picky. It could also use Exchange compatibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is how clean and well-organized the user interface is. I have tried many email clients (probably all the majors email apps on Mac), but this one feels the cleanest to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Searching and indexing is a little slow. Other mail clients I've tried were lightning-fast by comparison.

Formatting emails was inconsistent. (No markdown support, for whatever that's worth.)

When going through a list of emails (inbox, folders), there is no way to view at a glance any labels assigned.This was a big dealbreaker for me.

(I've switched to an ultra powerful, minimialist email client that is nothing pretty to look at, but more than makes up for it in functionality.)

Also, Postbox charges its users a fee for any technical support (even after you have already purchased the software). The support I did receive was less than great. (definitely inferior to the free support I've gotten from other companies.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
