Something isn't working. What should I do?
For starters, send us some Postlab logs from your computer:
In Postlab, go to
Postlab > Help > Collect Log Files for Support.
On your Desktop, there's a new file called called
Postlab_Logs-(Date)-(Time).tar.gz. Then, send us a screenshot of
Preferences > Account.Email both to [email protected], describing the issue, and we'll get back to you. Bonus points for a screen recording or screenshots.
Postlab wants me to log in through this special dialog box, but I can't.
If you see this dialog box, quit Postlab, install or update Postlab to 21.2.3 or later, then log in.
