You don't need to go trawling through piles of messages in search of that one adorable picture of your nephew when it's right there at your fingertips.Ī similar helpful sidebar pops up in the Compose window, putting both attachments and images already in your inbox right at your fingertips, should you wish to send them along to friends. But Postbox also lets you view your messages by attachments or photos, and each view (once indexed) is fully searchable. Calling all power usersĮvery client will show you messages, of course, and plenty also let you narrow those messages down to just the ones you've flagged as reminders. But the more you venture off the beaten path of forwards and replies, the more you begin to see what Postbox can really do.

In short, you can rest assured that Postbox 7 covers the basics well. As with previous versions, Postbox's help files proved clear, concise, and easy to follow – which is good, because as you'll soon see, you'll probably want to consult them more than once. That process was understandably poky, but not agonizingly so. On an aging laptop or a modern iMac, the app felt fast and responsive – at least once it finished indexing all 2,000 of my downloaded messages. The programmers' promise that Postbox 7 is three times as fast as its predecessor holds up, too.

And once that was finished, a flotilla of useful, coherent tutorial videos popped up for my edification. I dreaded having to slog over to Gmail and create yet another app password, but nope! Postbox not only configured all its settings correctly based solely on my email address but also helpfully opened a window to Gmail to walk me through its end of the setup process automatically. Setup's a snap, too, whether you're starting fresh or importing settings from a previous version.
