Why doesn't Postbox have phishing protection for links?
I would imagine that links on the right, are really links, not the anchors or that in case of phishing emails, postbox would be smart enough to try and protect me?
Anyway, I'm just surprised that there is no anti-phishing built into Postbox.
So the problem is that the link on the right looks like it's for bank of america, even though it really isn't. I know I can mouse over to get the real link, but I would imagine you can do better.

I’m unsure

Inappropriate?Hi Jure,
Postbox does indeed have phishing and malware support using the same mechanisms in Firefox. We download a local list of known phishing and malware urls and if you view a message that has one of those urls, we prevent you from getting to the message.
Make sure Options / Privacy / Block Reported e-mail scams is selected. It's also possible that your url just wasn't in the list of known urls yet.
