There's also support for the Provider for Google Calendar plug-in. There's heavy customization is limited, although Postbox does now have it's own slightly-buggy version of Thunderbird's Lightning calendar plug-in. Postbox gained Thunderbird's extensibility in beta 13, but it's currently limited. Browse & download free and premium 1,299 Postbox Icons in line, colored outline, flat, glyph, dualtone, gradient, isometric, doodle, rounded, sticker design styles for web or mobile (iOS and Android) design, marketing, or developer projects.

Postbox will ask you to import e-mail, contacts, and other messaging data from Thunderbird, Outlook, Google, and Yahoo when it starts. Postbox is also obsessed with tabs, so that each new mail can open traditionally or in a tab of its own. From there, you can upload to Twitter, FriendFeed, MySpace, Delicious, and Google.
