Apple Mail alternative: Postbox

Postbox

It's based on Mozilla Thunderbird, I've been using it since being invited (no longer required) and I'd say it's a nice alternative to Mail. There should be more features coming soon according to Get Satisfaction

Edit: This video gives a better presentation about Postbox's features than their website

Looks a good alternative with some good features. At work at the moment but will be trying this out when I home.

Same maddening problems as thunderbird though.

ie no integration with address book or ical

Another problem that annoys me with Mozilla's products (Postbox too) is the lack of native dictionary support in Mac OS X. They use their own dictionary which is frankly quite poor for British English

Don't suppose it works with hotmail does it :confused:

Should work since Hotmail has recently provided POP3 access to those who didn't have a Hotmail Plus or an old account
