→ New email client Postbox
feb 13 2009
Postbox is an interesting new e-mail app put together by former members of the Mozilla Thunderbird team. Its built on the Mozilla code base, but unfortunately, it feels like a heavily skinned version of Thunderbird. I tried to like it, but the UI is cluttered and not Cocoa (it’s a cross platform app, and it shows).
They do have some slick features however, some of which I’ve been planning for Kiwi and independently came up with. I won’t say what though…
I’m not sure how these guys plan on making money, they’ve mentioned something about “harnessing the power of connections between social networks and email,” or some BS like that…not particularly compelling. Either way, I wish them luck.

Correo (http://nkreeger.com/correo/) looks like a very promising project too, but unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any active development.
