A comment on the idea "Calendar integration and support in Postbox" in Postbox, Inc.:
I agree, this looks well like it could be a case for extensions.
Concerning integration:
* I would e.g. like to have postbox register a custom URL scheme with the system and provide URLs for each message like 'postbox://somepath/message-uid' so any message could be linked from/attached to anywhere else.
* It should be possible to react to calendar invites, i.e. at least decline, and accept (which should add the event to an existing calendar). The integration between GMail and GCal might serve as a first blueprint here.
* Data detectors (already mentioned above) are nice. They are even nicer if a) they are localised well and b) I can optionally chose to turn them off.
* Personally, I like my reminders to be handled by my default calendar (i.e. its background app). If someone's OS (incl. other software) does not already provide for this, an extension like reminderfox seems quite reasonable to me. – Sascha Brossmann, on April 24, 2009 14:46-

Sascha Brossmann marked one of Stephen Collins' replies in Postbox, Inc. as useful. Stephen Collins replied to the idea "auto-populate topics with gmail labels". Sascha Brossmann and 5 other people think it's one of the best replies.

I mostly stopped using desktop mail clients (and decided to put up with the many drawbacks of browser interfaces – sigh) exactly because all of them AFAIK lack this very feature. Making Postbox' topics sync 1:1 with GMail's labels would make it THE killer email client not only for me but probably for a very large share of at least semi-organized GMail users. -

Please don't. Make this the best email client there is (you seem to be well on track) and keep your resources focused on this task – but please refrain from turning it into typical bloatware which does a bit of everything but nothing well.
I would not object though being able to transfer/share information between the email client and a calendar app as painlessly as possible (i.e. make a date a calendar event, add an .ics attachment to calendar, link a calendar event to a mail message, ...). But good integration != integrating a calendar.
