1. Download zora
A native app for macOS 14 or later. Every feature is free for 14 days, no account needed.
Postbox is gone. Your mail isn't.
Postbox stopped development in October 2024. It still opens, but it won't get another fix.
zora is a calm Mac email client that, like Postbox, you buy once and keep.
Switching takes a minute.
Your mail lives on your provider's server, not in Postbox. zora connects to the same accounts.
2. Add your accounts
Sign in with Google for Gmail, or add iCloud, Fastmail, Yahoo or any IMAP account. Server settings are filled in for common providers.
3. Your folders are there
Folders, flags and read state come from the server, the way you left them.
What carries over.
Pay once
A lifetime license, no subscription. The model Postbox users chose it for.
Built for a lot of mail
Search with ⌘F, narrowed by sender, dates, excluded words or attachment size.
Keyboard first
A command palette on ⌘K, plus J K to move, E to archive and R to reply.
Several accounts
All your accounts in one window, a click apart.
Gmail done properly
Labels, nested ones included, as labels rather than folders. Threads behave like Gmail.
A real Mac app
Native window, menus and notifications. Light and dark, nine color themes.
Fair to say.
zora is a different, simpler app. A few things to know before you switch.
Local folders stay behind
Mail you kept only in Postbox's local folders isn't imported. Mail on your server is all there.
Mac only
There's no Windows version. zora is made for the Mac and needs macOS 14 or later.
Simpler on purpose
No add-ons, no templates, no topics. zora does the part of email you use every day.
Built to stay.
Apps get bought and closed. zora is made by one person and paid for by the people who use it.
No investors. Nobody to sell to, no acquisition email.
Keeps working. zora doesn't need a zora server to read or send mail, so it keeps working no matter what.
Actively developed. Release notes for every version are in the changelog.
A new home for your mail.
Requires macOS 14 or later.
