Postbox Email App
HOLYmac! Postbox is an email App that runs on both Mac & PC, and Beta 12 is available now as a free download. It’s a BIG download – 25mb – and will consume 85mb of your harddrive. So here’s hoping it’s a really big tool to add to ones’ Mac Toolbox. I’ll take it for a test run tomorrow, and see if it knocks Mailplane from my mantle.
You can download the free Beta via the Postbox website

- Command-Shift-3 – full screenshot
- Command-Shift-4 – window screenshot
- Command-Shift-4-Spacebar – custom area screenshot
How to REALLY Delete Your Trash on a Mac OS X
Friday, May 15th, 2009HOLYmac! Did you know that emptying your trash in OS X doesn’t really empty it..? I just found out myself via Apple Pro Tips on the official Apple website. There are 2 options in Finder to delete trash.
- Finder > Empty Trash
- Finder > Secure Empty Trash
The “Secure” option actually removes the data from your computer, as opposed to “moving” it into the trash. It’s something I’ll do more often now, since ….
- It just really deleted 95,000 items from my hardrive
- It’s a bit of a security risk to have items that you want deleted for ever, not actually deleted at all.
Thanks Apple Pro Tips!
