Postbox is available for $39.95 and has a free 30-day trial that you can download to try out.
Apple drops the price of the Mac Developer Program
Becoming an official Mac developer has been associated with some relatively high yearly costs when getting the Apple Developer Connection Select ($499) or Premiere ($3499) memberships.
Apple has now decided to drop the cost down to only $99/year and this is, according to Apple because the iPhone Developer Program (equally priced at $99/year to join) has been such a success that they hope many of these will see the move into the Mac world.
If you are already a ACD member, you will retain all of your features until your membership expires at which time you can sign up for the new developer program, or cease development.
