If I didn’t like the way CNN reported the news, I WOULDN’T WATCH IT. I suggest you use the same notion to choose what you browse on the internet.

Hey, you can use that signature! There are lots of tips to use it on Thunderbird, then Postbox will recognize it automatically.

At which point does a review have to conform to the opinions of the public? The purpose of a software review is to test out the application and determine if it does what it sets out to do. My review serves as an introduction to those who didn’t know about Postbox and its features as well as its weaker points.

Can you please list the bogus reports or conspiracies I’m spreading? I’m very interested to find out what they are.

When I tried it, I could only attach text files. Maybe they implemented it finally. Thanks Travis

It’s amazing and quite sad what anonymity has done to our public discourse.

I have been using Postbox for a little more than a week and am moderately displeased with it, but I’m not sure I can live without its features. It’s quite slow to load messages, and the reading pane is actually quite un-Apple like. Text rendering, in my eyes, is quite ugly. (The Thunderbird engine is all too readily visible.) Conversation view is unintuitive – but perhaps that’s inevitable – I don’t think Google’s conversation view is very good either.

That said, it’s better than Entourage and its search and attachment features are way ahead of Mail. I suspect I’ll stick with it as they refine it. It’s a very good first iteration.

I disagree – this is a public commercial blog and with the status comes the responsibility. I don’t think you would enjoy much if CNN or BBC at some point would give bogus reports and say we are the channel and we do reports the way we see fit. This is the reason behind blogs’ lack of credibility – there is no consistency in objectiveness and professionalism. The stuff you are talking about is fit for personal blog.

Mind you, there are plenty of sites, that give pretty good idea about new products on the market. The biggest blog on everything Apple is TUAW, by the way.

Strange how many people have comfortably turned ignorance from a vice to an excuse.

The author reviewing the product is entitled to review it however he sees fit. This isn’t obviously a technical review where specs, performance, and functionality are drilled and detailed.

I enjoyed the review, and it was a good lead in to exploring the software myself. Had this review not existed, I wouldn’t have discovered the software.

Dude, you are giving the thumbs up to the review only because you just found out about the actual product. This is where you are missing the point. The purpose of a review is not an introduction, but the evaluation, assessment! In fact the word “review” itself kind of makes it obvious, that it is certainly not the first viewing.
