While I'm kinda dissapointed in this not being free, I guess it makes sense. There is overhead and salaries to be paid. And while other internet companies offer free stuff (Google, Mozilla, AOL, etc.), these companies have revenue streams from other sources. I don't think the same can be said of those at Postbox.

However, that being said, $29? And that's the discount price??? Nah, make it more like $19 which is discounted from $29, THEN I'd be more apt to pay for it. Oh, and upgrades have to be free forever, once I pay for version 1.0

Hey, Getright and Easy CD-DA do it, why can't Postbox!?!?!

@ David...

It is configurable. Just go to the link at the top of this page and it will take you to the page which explains how to configure PostBox to delete the next message and not the previous message.

Thanks for the help Scott.

However, shouldn't this be the default setting on Postbox? Or maybe just a checkbox somewhere in the Options menu?

Just a thought.

Worked for me!!!

Although the "Preferences" window has now been changed to the "Options" window.

Allow users to reposition the layout of the windows onscreen

I'd love to be able to have the "Subject field" box span the entire length of the screen. Currently, it can't because the "Accounts", "Folders" and "Favorite Topics" boxes take up the left hand side of the screen.

However, if I were able to reposition the "Accounts" box further down on the screen, viola...problem solved.

Maybe some people would like these boxes along the right side of the screen (people who are left handed might find it easier on the right, for example). Some people may want them along the bottom. Maybe others would want the boxes in a different order ("Folders", then "Favorite Topics", with "Accounts" on the bottom).

All I'm saying is that by allowing the users to have the ability to customize the screen layout a little more, it would make the program more "comfortable" to work with and, in return, be more apt to use it as thier default e-mail client.

Just a suggestion. Thanks for listening/reading my suggestion.

Seriously...it's counter-intuitive to go UP to the previous e-mail and not DOWN to the next message.

Maybe some people like it the opposite way (hey, I don't judge). But can't this be a simple option we can change manually?? This should be an easy fix, no??

Any help would be appreciated.

John asked a question in Postbox, Inc. on June 05, 2009 05:15:

How do I retrieve subfolders made in the email account which I am importing?

In my Yahoo Mail account, I created one subfolder. When I installed Postbox and set it up to retrieve the e-mails from the Inbox of the Yahoo account, Postbox did not retrieve the subfolder.

Is there any way to import that subfolder into Postbox???

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

I know that the Inspector Pane is a nice idea...and "power users" will probably make the most of this feature. However, I don't get 500 e-mail messages a day to my home account, so I probably won't use the Inspector Pane in the way it was intended.

So yeah, for those of us who don't need it and who need the screen real estate, having the option to hide the Inpector Pane would be awesome!!!
