These prefab fill-in messages mostly focus on sales, marketing, and hiring, and let you customize and extend them. It offers a straightforward compose window that includes typical formatting and attachment options, including robust support for HTML.īut for those of you in fields that require sending tailored messages, either from scratch or as replies, Postbox includes what it calls Responses. Postbox packs a lot into its writing environment. The other critical part of an email program is, of course, composing messages from scratch or as replies. Postbox offers rules-based filtering and chained actions for messages. You can use a simple search, click for more filters (like the sender address), and bring up an advanced find dialog that lets you set detailed conditions, similar to Postbox’s smart folder. Searching across the messages is nearly instantaneous, too. The app doesn’t slow down a bit, even in a folder with 10,000 messages. I imported over 16,000 emails in two batches so quickly that I thought Postbox had skipped it.

I’m always obsessed in email by the twin issues of handling massive archives of messages and searching them rapidly. Postbox also lets you create Smart Folders that can span accounts and search messages stored online and locally. Topics are a powerful way to create your own cross-mailbox and cross-mail account organization of messages, similar to tags in the Finder. That includes by attributes, such as “Has Attachment,” and by topics you can assign to email. A Focus view, for example, offers a variety of ways to slice and dice email. If the main mail view doesn’t offer you enough options to sort and view, you can add columns. If email contains an invisible tracking image, Postbox alerts you.

You can click to load images on messages you trust. In that last case, Postbox also specifically calls out when it’s identified invisible, tiny tracking images exclusively used for check for opens. A variety of issues surround this, including bandwidth, the potential for auto-loaded images to make a more convincing phishing email, and alerting senders you’ve received the message. Postbox wisely doesn’t come out of the box set to load images automatically in email.
