Postbox Email Client - review

This email program is worth the money you will pay for, although it is based on Thunderbird, which is free, Postbox is greatly modified. It comes with all the standard features of all of today’s modern email programs like in line spell check, powerful filters, and Bayesian spam protection.


What sets this program apart from the others is its extensive search capabilities. Once the email you have sent is indexed searching for a certain message you have sent, a particular image attached in an email, or link from a specific person, by date, keyword, or combination of all of these becomes extremely quick. Email viewing and browsing is also made faster by a side panel that pops up that allows you to quickly browse pictures, attachments, etc. from the sender of that email.

The threaded conversation support lets you group together all emails with the same subject so long conversations are easy to keep track of. Automatic configuration is done instantly just by adding your email address when first starting this program.

The tabs that are supported by Postbox, those similar to Firefox and Thunderbird, helps reduce your window clutter. When you double click on your message a new tab automatically appears, although if you prefer messages can still be opened in different windows. No Thunderbird add-ons are compatible, but plug-ins are available for different add-ons such as encryption or a calendar.

Toshiba Satellite A500

This extremely appealing apparatus designed with glossy pinstripe patterns and silver strips around the edge, is a decent enough laptop. In this design Toshiba uses the whole width of the keyboard, including a number pad on the right-hand side. The flat-topped keys are spaced far enough from one another so that you don’t hit the adjoining keys.

Touch-typing becomes frustrating because even though the keys feel crisp the bounce kills the feedback. The feeling of the case is more insubstantial than expected and the whole device sounds hollow when you tap it.

It is equipped with a 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo T660 processor and 4GB RAM, which makes it adequate for most office and internet applications, but it can’t handle any intense photo or video editing. The latest action games also cannot be handled with this laptop, but it does come with a 210M graphic chipset for more sedate games. HD movies do not present a problem the A500 handles them perfectly.

Colors are bright and vibrant on the 16in screen, although it is not recommend for bright overhead lighting because of the glossy finish and tight vertical viewing angles. The 1,366x768 resolution has sufficient desktop space and is perfectly suited for 720p HD movies.

The Harmon/Kardon speakers make the sound quite enjoyable, they are clear and loud enough for solo movie watching. Home movie watching and playing music is not a problem, all you have to do is connect to a large screen or AV amplifier via the HDMI output. It is also equipped with an eSATA port for external hard and ExpressCard slot perfect things such a TV tuner. 500GB is plenty of space to store all of your documents. This laptop is nothing above average and much better ones can be found at the same price.

HDR Photo Studio

With today’s innovative cameras and scanners capturing an amazing range of colors, highlights, or shadows is easy. The loss of visual dynamics happens in editing, when reducing the amount of data from 8-bit or 16-bit the much of the innateness of the picture is gone. That is why HDR’s pictures have become the entire buzz; the new PhotoStudio is a 32-bit editor and allows you to enjoy the maximum potential of HDR (high dynamic range) pictures. Real HDR is 32-bit but most common programs, like Photoshop, cannot support the full 32-bit editing.

The start up menu gives you three options: create/merge a new HDR image, open an existing image, or batch processing. The first option lets you select the images you want to combine into a new HDR picture. Usually you will use several captures of one scene, with different exposure or lighting, this helps you get a hold of as much data as possible in the shadows, highlights, and midtones for the final image. Importing will not be a problem the PhotoStudio supports all RAW file formats from all the major camera companies, it also supports TIFF and JPEG images.

To get the product to work all you have to do is choose the setting for Automatic Dynamic Range Mapping (None, Fast, Optimal, or Quality), you simply hit the merge key and the program does the rest of the work for you. The speed at which the final picture is completed depends on the size of the file and the number of images being processed. Its performance, features, and design are all top notch, and for $150 you can become a professional editor for your own photos.
