[OSX-Users] searching Apple mail on Mac??

[Jules Field]

Postbox doesn't have the "Favourites" view option in the left side list 
of mail folders. A toolbar of favourites is no use to me at all, there's 
at least 30 at any one time so miles too many to fit on a little toolbar.

It does display all calendar invitations very nicely though, so you know exactly what to put in your calendar.
