Postbox is a desktop email client, news client and feed reader for Windows and macOS. Written and sold by Postbox, Inc., it was launched at the TechCrunch 50 conference in 2008.[3] On 22 October 2024 it was announced that Postbox had been acquired by the makers of eM Client, and that the Postbox email client would no longer be sold or developed.[4]

Postbox was founded and staffed by several former developers from Mozilla. The software was built using Mozilla's Gecko browser engine, and was initially based on Thunderbird, Mozilla's own e-mail software.[5]

According to a 2017 report, Postbox 7 required 8GB of RAM, 200 MB of hard drive space, plus Windows 8 (or later) or macOS 10.13 (or later). The Windows version ran in 32-bit-mode on 32-bit and 64-bit systems.[6]
