Pros
Pro Clear interface
Pro Forgotten attachment reminders by default
Reminding the user that they forgot to attach the file if they mentioned one in the body of the email is one of the most useful features of any email client and so many don't include this. Postbox is pre-configured to look for certain keywords (attached, CV, spreadsheet, pdf etc) and you can specify your own keywords in addition.
Pro Blocks tracking gifs
Has the ability to block tracking gifs commonly used for read receipts.
Pro One Inbox for all accounts
All messages in one place. But you can select to show only messages from each account either.
Pro Quick Bar for macros
Quick bar allows you to add a variety of content to your message. It will let you reuse URLS in your Sent folder, and autocompletes against canned responses, signatures, and topics.
Pro Fast and lightweight
Has a very small installation footprint.
Pro Granular control
When you need that setting that does that certain thing, you'll most likely find it in The Bat and nowhere else.
Cons
Con No support forum

Con Only available for Windows
Con It's all about cash - support, new licenses policy, bugs. Not worth buying.
Two programmers coding - this means every release is full of bugs sometimes making this app unusable. Dev version is testing via community.
