Great! Welcome. This is the right place to ask questions.
So far I can't seem to find out how to make Postbox my default email
program in Quicksilver.
If you have an e-mail address selected in Quicksilver, there’s an
“Open E-mail URL” action that will open a new message to that
address using whatever your system’s default mail client is. You
don’t need to install anything or set a handler for e-mail. However,
that’s pretty limited and probably not what you’re after.
There is supposed to be a handler item called E-mail but it's not in
my preferences panel. Do I need to install the Apple Mail plugin
first in order to get that choice, or is there another place to change
the default behavior, or do I need to type e-mail instead of mail in
order to get the result i want.
You won’t see the handler in preferences unless you install the E-mail
Support plug-in, but that’s really just a skeleton to provide the
e-mail related actions. It calls on whatever you pick as a handler to do
the real work.
In Quicksilver, the e-mail handler is a Quicksilver plug-in and not the
mail client itself (although the plug-in usually has the same name and
icon). So for that to do you any good, someone has to create a plug-in
that knows how to do the various things in your specific mail client.
Right now, there are plug-ins for Apple Mail, MailMate, and Gmail.
Nothing for Postbox, sorry.
If anyone’s interested on creating such a plug-in, I’d be happy to
point them in the right direction.
