Sorry. I like the program but not worth 40.00... Not at all. Too many free clients out there that do the same. I like it, and worked with the beta, but after the new free trial is over, I will remove from my system and just stick with outlook 2007...... Should have kept it free or cheaper.

You use Outlook 2007 and you're saying you wouldn't pay up to $40 for an email client?

@Brandon: If you have Outlook, you probably bought it as part of a Microsoft Office suite, in which case you're also getting Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.
While Microsoft lists the price of the full Office Standard suite at $400 ($240 as upgrade), there are myriad ways to get Office at significantly cheaper prices (bundled with new computer, corporate pricing, student discount, etc.), so most users probably don't pay the full price.
If we peg Outlook at ~$100 list price, Postbox may be a "bargain" at $40. But the major attraction of Outlook is its presence as the de facto Office standard, while Postbox has to compete directly with a variety of powerful, free alternatives.
