![]() ![]() this like picorp that was acquired by VMware, basically their initial product vision is exactly what they’ve built. Tim O’Reilly -This is not so much an email client as much as a personal information management client. We view this is sort of an information hub. We anticipate helping people add new services. We can do everything we showed you and protect privacy, because you don’t have to pass credentials. Postbox -People are approaching from a different way. Tim O’Reilly – Are you shredding this into XML?Įvan Williams- Is the slick UI enough to combat massive move from desktop to web based email? We’ve also used it with 30k messages and it performed. Postbox – We’ve scaled it interally, with message sets around 10,000 messages, worked well. I have all these thousands of email messages. Tim O’Reilly- If this wroks, I find it very attactive. Postbox – We’re commited to supported open standards when possible. Do you support POP, IMAP, Blackberry exchange? Xobni, a plugin that launched last year at TechCrunch40, has similar functionality, but it’s still only available for Outlook – the Postbox client will be available for Mac and Windows.Ĭlick here to watch the video of Postbox’s presentation. The service can also use your social networks to assign information to each of your contacts. After tagging a message, the system is smart enough to apply the same tag to all further messages within the conversation – no more tagging messages one by one as they come in. Perhaps the most exciting new feature in Postbox (and the reason why I’ll be downloading the application as soon as possible) is its ability to sort conversations and create a dynamically updated address book. The application also allows users to post to these services, without having to provide their private credentials. For example, I could search for “Michael Arrington” in the Flickr image search, see the results in the client’s sidebar, and drag a photo into one of my Email messages without leaving the client. Users can use the client’s right sidebar to quickly search for media, addresses, and webpage across the web from sites including Yahoo Local, Wikipedia, and LinkedIn. ![]() Postbox also includes full integration with a number of social media and reference sites. Results are displayed in context, so users don’t have to manually open each message to find the message they’re looking for. Text and URL searches have also seen improvements as well. Instead of having to browse through messages to find attachments, users can view all images or documents as thumbnails, making it easy to find the files you’re looking for. The first major change that Postbox brings to the space is an improved media search engine. And as soon as I get an invite, I’ll be installing it. Postbox is desktop email application that includes a host of features that led judge Tim O’Reilly to call it a “personal information management client.” The company presented as part of today’s session on Language & Communication Tools, and comes from an experienced team that includes Scott MacGregor, one of the original developers of Mozilla’s Thunderbird Email client. ![]()
