Great build - Version: 1.1, 12/1/2009 11:57PM PST

1.1 is a great upgrade to Postbox. I'd already chosen Postbox as my email client after a long hunt for a Eudora replacement. This version adds tremendous speed improvements and other upgrades. The tabbed browsing is fantastic (keep several mailboxes open at the same time), and the sidebar of attachments, links, images (with instant search for recent messages from the same sender) is great, and the Conversation View makes reading a long thread easy. The learning spam filter could be stronger, but that's one of the very few even remotely weak points. Oh, that and iPhoto doesn't recognize Postbox as an email app for one-click mailing.
Well worth the price, and the developer offers an purchase option that includes upgrades for life.
Could be a gem

The developers really have a great idea here. The biggest problem is that the app does not appear to be built atop Cocoa, or at least they are not using the proper Cocoa text fields for Spelling and Grammar checking. I have a TREMENDOUS number of custom spellings in my dictionary due to my industry and unfortunately I will not be porting all of these spellings back over. It feels as though they are using Mozilla as a foundation for that and that is extremely unfortunate in this case.
If you hear this guys, please strongly reconsider using Cocoa fields for all text editing for deeper Mac OS X integration and much happier customers. I would probably be willing to be a slight amount of money for this app if they fixed that and cleaned up the interface slightly with Cocoa elements.

Some good features -- tabs, searches, gmail-like thread displays. It's a good user experience, better than Mail BUT beware, the spam filtering is crude -- nowhere near as effective as Spamsieve. It is particularly poor at learning spam matches, even using the recommended routines
Also, the company culture is a bit nauseous, impersonal and hiding behind the world's worst feedback forum which isn't a proper forum at all -- you cannot see what is being discussed by others, merely search for issues. I dislike dealing with this company so much that I might go back to the imperfections of Mail which does at least handle spam well.
The advantage of small, independent developers is (usually) that they are accessible and talk to you. Not this lot.
