Postbox was founded and staffed by several former developers from Mozilla. The software was built using Mozilla's Gecko browser engine, and was initially based on Thunderbird, Mozilla's own e-mail software.[5]
According to a 2017 report, Postbox 7 required 8GB of RAM, 200 MB of hard drive space, plus Windows 8 (or later) or macOS 10.13 (or later). The Windows version ran in 32-bit-mode on 32-bit and 64-bit systems.[6]
