The new Postbox release is pretty solid and does almost everything I want.
It just saddens me that it's basically the future now and we still can't seem to get email clients that don't suck. Some are better than others, sure, but they all seem to suck in some fundamental way. FWIW, in Postbox it seems to be speed.
- phil 16y ago>they all seem to suck in some fundamental way. FWIW, in Postbox it seems to be speed. That's because Postbox is based on Thunderbird, which is not a path to creating a fast, lightweight mail app. I can only think of a handful of desktop mail engines for the Mac (Mail.app, Thunderbird + children, Entourage, Sparrow). If mail clients suck, it's because more people need to write one.
- msg 16y agoOutlook for Mac 2011 came out. It has some major missing features (won't run rules on the Exchange server, no auto-archive), but the calendar works and it's a serviceable mail reader. Better than Entourage by far, I would say.
