eM Client has acquired the longtime email app Postbox and discontinued sales and development. While Postbox users can still use the app and receive support for several months, it’s time to start looking for a replacement.

    Basically every single email client I have ever used, with the exception of Thunderbird, has somehow ended up in the hands of some soulless corp, and has either been discontinued, or got a subscription price that’s impossible to justify.

    Some of these genuinely make no sense too. I’m paying per inbox, and a weird web wrapper that just opens google calendar? Come on

      Did you use it? lol it was basically a fancy skinned version of Thunderbird.

    Wow, that brings back memories. Been a long time since I used postbox, but enjoyed it back in the day. Genuinely preferred the pop3 email client experience more than the almost forced web client based experiences these days
