Über Postbox
Postbox ist eine leistungsstarke, voll funktionsfähige und ansprechende E-Mail-Anwendung. Kostenlose 30-Tage-Testversion verfügbar für macOS und Windows.
Postbox includes a wide range of tools that help users manage their inboxes, such as filters, tags, and folders, allowing users to quickly find and organize their emails.
For some reason, Postbox fails to see it. Is there anyone at Postbox, to whom I've paid for the app, to contact about this.

Smooth desktop email client
Kommentare: Overall, Postbox is great for my personal email, as I've described above. 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!
Vorteile:
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. Probably my favourite aspect of Postbox is the keyboard shortcuts. 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. 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. 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.
Nachteile:
My big negative is that Postbox does not provide native support for Microsoft Exchange--it only provides IMAP. This is a deal-breaker. 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. 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. I now use Postbox only for my personal accounts and then Outlook for my work account. I've already requested Postbox to add support for Microsoft Exchange, but they said there was insufficient demand for that feature. 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!
Clean and nice Email client to keep productivity up
Kommentare: I like it a lot: easy to use, lightweight and still powerful. Exactly what I need for emailing.
Vorteile:
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!
Nachteile:
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.
Not able to install update
Kommentare: Features have been pretty good, support definitely has not.
Vorteile:
It's easy to use (well, at least the past versions that I was able to install), and had a lot of features.
Nachteile:
First, the installation file is blocked by Windows 10, and the advice Postbox provides does not address Windows' newest way of blocking it. Second, once I do apply Windows' new way of unblocking installation files, I get the message that the file is corrupt. Third, there is no section in their support that addresses this. And Fourth, the only way I can contact support is to pay $8 - which is absurd, especially when I'm not the only user that could be affected by this.

Bob, thanks for your review, and we're sorry for any issues you've had with getting Postbox installed. If Windows is blocking the install of Postbox, then we highly encourage you to contact Microsoft on this issue. They can provide instructions for how to correctly configure the security features in Windows. By default, Windows doesn't block the installation of Postbox, so a security setting must have been changed along the way.
Good email client
Vorteile:
Simple to use, great to separate work and personal emails
Nachteile:
No support for Microsoft’s modern authentication methods, yet.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Great work!
Kommentare: I can't speak yet about their support as I haven't had any exchanges yet. On the positive side, I haven't needed to contact them. Their getting started tutorials are excellent and comprehensive, and so is their knowledge base, for what I've seen so far, the app is very well documented.
Vorteile:
LOVED the flexibility and slick design and powerful features. It feels really modular and that it will accommodate my particular workflow.
Nachteile:
It would be great if one could additionally customize the icons themselves, at least the colors, also to eliminate the toolbar on top altogether, but I rest content :)
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Great Mail App
Kommentare: Great!
Vorteile:
- Possibility to group email addresses in groups (not only in all-in-one inbox). - One time paymant license. I hate monthly or yearly payments. I like to pay for app once and to use it. And if in future there is some update with significant features, then I can decide by myself - to buy or not to buy update, and if I decide to buy, then - when to buy.
Nachteile:
It would be good to have in right corner on on right side some small calendar. I don't think integreated calendar (with Google calendar, iCal or others), but only calendar with monthly view to look date for. For example, if I write an email and must point out some date, i can quickly press some button and look to calendar dates - what date is next Friday, or what was date last Monday etc.
A true email client
Kommentare: I have used Postbox since its first release. I have used it on both MAC and Windows OS and have always found it easy to use. The major plus for me is how easy it is to find an attachment and the way I can link to new emails. The program is built to be intuitive which means the hard work is always done for you. Every upgrade has left you with the same UI so you never had to re-learn how to use it. I currently store ten years of email on it so about 26,000 and have never had a problem.
Vorteile:
Easy to manage attachments the "view" aspect of the program is what really makes it unique.
Nachteile:
Does not always find the correct config when adding email addresses. No mobile version.
Good mailing software but has a long way to go
Kommentare:
Good experience. I was using before Mailbird and emclient but I had lot of problems, so, I started looking an alternative and so I came to you.
I tried it and decided to buy it because it's really worth it
Vorteile:
A lot of features A lot personalization. Good performance
Nachteile:
I use it on Windows, I can't minimize it as an icon next to the clock.. for example as antivirus or Spotify, I can minimize these next to de click un the toolbar. Sometime I have troubles with margin of the signature, if u want to edit it in the same email, margins are spoiled I would like to have a way to organize better the email, for example there's an app on mobile, Spark Mail, it has a funtions to organize email by relevance, I don't know how it works exactly but is nice l.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Time and Attention Saver
Kommentare: I spend a lot of time in email. Being able to find things fast and also get out of email fast to do something else is important.
Vorteile:
I like that it helps focus me by having some very smart filters and tagging. The keyboard shortcuts are also great. I save a lot of time now in how I handle my email. Also, when I was first starting out, their Support was great in helping explain one feature that I misunderstood how to use.
Nachteile:
Too trivial to list. It's great. I need 40 characters for this field.
Essential software used all day, every day
Kommentare: I monitor about a dozen email accounts. Postbox lets me easily see new messages in all of my accounts.
Vorteile:
Easily connects all of my email accounts and combines them into one stream of messages
Nachteile:
I can't think of anything I don't like about Postbox.
Best option!
Kommentare:
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. 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.
Would recommend it to anyone who needs Mail sotware, beyond using the smart phone for everyday use.
Vorteile:
I like Postbox because it is clear, secure and gets the additions that I look for in a mail software. Appears as secure in relation to insecure mail, also has the opportunity to have several profiles separated as work and private, but not at the same time !. Gives me good control of my mail in a satisfactory way. Have either not started as far as I can see subscription, which I appreciate, one of the competitors has been uninstalled because of this. Is a full and good alternative to Mail Mac, for Window it does not seem as big and heavy as Outlook.
Nachteile:
What I don't like are any restrictions in integrating with other apps. It can come from security, and it can come across as messy, what I have registered with a competitor. But being able to sync or have a calendar would be great. Alle doesn't use OmniFocus, there are others too. And of reasons I have mentioned. Failed to integrate Devonthink, nor spamsive. Difficult with tags, but there are at least tags;). The price may be high, but as long as there is no subscription, you have to pay something !.
Best e-mail client IMO
Kommentare: Everyday user, multiple accounts (15) are managed simultanoesly. Business and private user.
Vorteile:
Works smoothly even with many accounts. You can change folder for e-mails so your C partition drive on Windows does not grown day by day. but the best option is you can colour your e-mails with your numer pad - coloured topic are easy to manage if you use miltiple accounts and work on many tasks simultanously. 5 stars for developers and for Customer Service that hepled me from time to time with new features and some minor problem with my system (for example my fonts on windows crushed and CS helped me to find solution althrough it was not their job, e-mails with Georgia font was problematic). I use their app day by da within last 2 years and I am more than happy after transition from Thunderbird, Outlook, eM Client and after tested some more others...Postbox is best of them all IMO. I highly recommend !
Nachteile:
List of supported languages. I am from Poland and there is no Polish translation although there is Russian and some other big countries like Italian or German. Alternative apps have polish language. I understand that it takes some resources to create more languages but not everyone uses English language at that high level to be ready to use only the english interface, so it is hard to recommend the app to friends in my country.
Good for Business Good for Personal
Kommentare: I started using (and recommending) Postbox during my time as a IT consultant to small businesses (who also love the software). I now am semi retired and us the software personally for my investment activities. Since I get a lot of old emails related to my former business, Postbox allows me to sort them into folders for a later look or delete them directly. I have multiple emails for security purposes and I am able to consolidate them into the single Postbox application. It is easy to use, easy to confiure, and it works all the time.
Vorteile:
Ability to consolidate multiple emails onto one platform with the ability to send from any. Filter ability is excellent to group incoming emails into the best folder and in cases of spam directly to delete. Ability to search the contents of all emails (or select email accounts) in one easy search
Nachteile:
Sometimes the indexing feature takes a long time and puts the software on hold.
Postbox is a great option for users who want to keep their email on their own computer.
Kommentare:
I've been using Postbox since 2014 and wouldn't have anything else. I went from using Outlook to Thunderbird and then finally to Postbox and wouldn't trade either of the other two for Postbox if they paid me to take them.
I'm not a novice user. I built and repaired computers for over twenty years and I know what works and what doesn't, Postbox works!
Vorteile:
Postbox is easy to setup and easy to maintain. The user interface is simple and intuitive and updates frequently so you're always up to speed with new developments and improvements. Customer support also responds quickly.
Nachteile:
Postbox could use an option that would allow for easier synchronization between devices. Adding email senders to contacts could be a little easier and it would be nice if it had two categories such as: personal and general contacts in which to add the new contacts.
Effective, simple but comprehensive
Vorteile:
Been using Postbox for years now. I think started with version 3 and they are at v7 now. Continuously being developed it is a smart tool for anyone using they Mac as an office place! I am constantly on my computer and sending & receiving emails. It is a hassle free piece of software. Setting up is no different or difficult then any other mail software. I migrated from Outlook (back then) and it was far easier to use and was very easy to adjust to.
Nachteile:
I have not managed to figure out how to import my settings and email to a new computer and I dont think the information available online explains it well. This weekend I have re-setup my MAC twice and both of the times I tried to import rather than having to setup all over again but failed. Luckily I am using my email accounts with IMAP connections so it was easy to sync but importing I did not manage. Also, I had to go to Mojave from Catalina and there were issues (stemming from Catalina I think). Back to Mojave and have no issues.
Excellent Cross-Platform Experience with Great Filing Features
Kommentare: Overall very good experience. Needs a few engagements but overall a great app that is always being developed.
Vorteile:
I use a Mac and a PC and having an app that offers the same experience on both platforms is a huge plus. The biggest reason I like PostBox is that it allows for very quick, easy, and efficient filing of messages. (That was my biggest complaint with Airmail). I also like that they update and improve it continuously.
Nachteile:
There isn’t much to dislike. I wish they still allowed plugins like MailHub which allow for a certain level of predictive filing features. While there are workarounds for some plugins like Todoist, there is no way to use a plugin for predictive filing.
Powerful with exceptional UI - the only email tool I can use anymore.
Vorteile:
I've been using PostBox for around 6 years now, maybe a little more. It is an incredibly powerful native email client that maintains to a beautiful UI such that the features don't bog you down with clutter. The keyboard shortcuts are incredible. I'm an inbox zero kinda a person, and I can power through my entire inbox without every touching a mouse/trackpad. The integrations with google are great, and the customizability is superb. Any issues I've had I've been able to look up and find, or contact the dev and figure out. I recommend it to anyone I talk to on the subject. I can't work with out it - I tried this last go around.
Nachteile:
I wish I could get contacts I have not emailed before to auto-populate as if I were using gmail in the browser. This could be user error however.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
First time I spend money on a mail client
Kommentare: I tried many email apps, paid and free, even Thunderbird, and definitely Postbox was the one that best fit my needs. It doesn't freeze, it works for what I need. At least what they offer has worked well for me. In general it has helped me optimize a lot of time. I never thought I was going to spend money on a mail client, but here they have me.
Vorteile:
The main factor for me is the possibility of having multiple email accounts, as well as the ease of organizing the emails in groups, a unified inbox according to my preferences. The themes are perfect, read emails at night becomes much more manageable. Smart folders are another huge plus. This helps me filter important emails (from all my accounts) or from certain services in a single folder.
Nachteile:
It is not possible to send it to the try icon, now I have to have it occupying space in my taskbar. Notifications are still somewhat ugly, and there is no more specific configuration about that (disable notifications for an account or certain emails, for example)
Powerful e-mail management tools
Kommentare: The software seamlessly integrates into my workflow and make handling a large volume of email a breeze.
Vorteile:
I use the powerful shortcuts for sorting mail on a daily basis. The ability the seamlessly manage multiple e-mail and accounts in a unified inbox is something I absolutely need to have. Extremely quick comprehensive email searching saves me time on a regular basis. Finally the filtering options help keep me on top of all of my email messages.
Nachteile:
At the moment I don't have much that I don't like.
A ton of well thought out features
Kommentare: With everything, it seems like a lot of thought was put into. And almost everytime I think, it would be awesome if … – chances are, I already can. I spent years trying to find an email app that didn't suck, I even tried out an earlier version of Postbox and was not particularly inspired. Lately, I came across the app again and decided to give it another go, and it seems my quest has come to a happy end.
Vorteile:
I am amazed by the abundance of features and the ease of use of Postbox. The focus pane is a lot of help. I could not see the use for a Home button, until I figured out using two filters and a search term simultaneously (something like flagged mails from <sender> with <keyword> in archive of <mailbox>) could lead you way down into the depths of your mailboxes.
Nachteile:
Everything I found Postbox to be lacking so far are just nice-to-have features on top of quite a few already really good ones. For instance, the Cloud File Sharing built right into the app is an incredibly useful feature, but it only covers box, Dropbox and OneDrive. I need a Nextcloud option.
Only a limited version of Thunderbird with better design
Kommentare: Until version 5, the mail client was still worth its money. Today with version 7 I wouldn't buy it again because I get Thunderbird for free which is much more customizable thanks to the support of extensions. In addition, I noticed that the Thunderbird client on which the software is based is certainly not up to date because I get for Thunderbird here much more often updates which also affect the security.
Vorteile:
The design is currently the only positive thing I noticed about the software. Otherwise there are not really many positive things about this mail client.
Nachteile:
It is not possible to use extensions. No external spam filters possible. Some of the features like "preferred topics" do not work as expected. The folder management is more than cumbersome.
Best Email client
Kommentare: Very happy with the smooth operation and setup.
Vorteile:
Ease of use. Powerful search options. Integration with Gmail
Nachteile:
Not really. Most features are adequately covered.
Postbox Meets My Needs
Vorteile:
Postbox was very easy to setup and use, and I like the personalization options and the many themes available.
Nachteile:
I would like to see a dialog box pop up when checking for new mail. The tiny little line at the bottom of the screen is very hard to read!
Best mailclient for windows!
Kommentare: Easily the best mailclient for windows!
Vorteile:
After doing the transition from mac, I was looking for a good and simple mailclient on Windows. It is really hard to find one which does not look like it's coming straight from the 90s. Or overload the interface with integrations you don't use. I tested a lot of them and finally found the Postbox has the most beautiful, fluent, simple and clean user interface. I also like that you can buy the license instead of renting the software.
Nachteile:
The feature I miss the most is the missing taskbar badge for unread mails under Windows
Tired of Ordinary Email?
Kommentare: So far so good. The additional features from Apple Mail are a definite win and even though there is a small learning curve, it's a pleasant surprise to find out how much this tool has to offer.
Vorteile:
Easy Management of Multiple Accounts Fast Stable Clean interface Having used Apple Mail for some time, I've had to adapt to the limitations either by ignoring them or adding plugins and supplemental products. This is fine until one or the other updates and then nothing works. Postbox seems to be pretty stable across multiple platforms and removes the dependence on Apple.
Nachteile:
Change - change is difficult and there is a lot to learn in the new Postbox iteration - all of it so far has been a benefit and I am definitely enjoying the change.
