Postbox email client

I used to love Postbox until the latest 6th version.<p>It may be a bit faster but extension support was completely removed and there are also no ways to add (or hack in) a calendar (which could previously be done by adding a permanent browser tab pointing to Google Calendar). They also seem to have done something to the 5th version that prevents me from adding my calendar back, which I found out after downgrading from 6.<p>On top of that, the new design has terrible legibility as most dividing lines that gave structure were removed, contrast was reduced across the board and every single icon seems to have been given an exceptionally bright and completely random colour.<p>I would be so happy if anyone knows of a way to add a calendar back into Postbox 5 (be it tab with Google Calendar or Lightning).<p>I&#x27;ve since moved to Mailbird but that client doesn&#x27;t even allow for emails to be moved between accounts. There are no alternatives to Postbox 5 that come even close imo.

Is a $40 one-time fee sustainable? Newton Mail had a $50 annual subscription fee, and it recently had to shut down. Does anyone know if Postbox monetizes your email data (like Edison mail)? I&#x27;m seeing the following in their privacy policy:<p>&quot;As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate or anonymous information to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use our Services. We share this type of data so that our partners also understand how often people use the Services, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience. Again, Company never discloses aggregate or anonymous information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally.&quot;

I am currently using Spark (macOS) it works pretty well, except for lacking filters (if subject {x} then move to {y}). Does Postbox support filtering?<p>Also in my opinion, the overview video is cringeworthy to watch. The customer &quot;testimonials&quot; didn&#x27;t help me understand benefits and felt over produced and ungenuine.

I haven&#x27;t seen a XUL-based app [1] in a long time.<p>It reminds me of Thunderbird. I&#x27;ll test it out.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pastebin.com&#x2F;raw&#x2F;fXyjA6SL" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pastebin.com&#x2F;raw&#x2F;fXyjA6SL</a>

What is with all these email clients supporting folders but not labels for Gmail. I get that <i></i>labels<i></i> are not a supported abstraction in IMAP, but they are supported through the Gmail API.

Is there a reason why we don&#x27;t see many hosted webmail clients? Something like gmail but for anything else?
