Mailbox for iOS adds new language and Passbook support

Mailbox recently brought new features to the iOS email client to help you manage your email easier. The Dropbox-owned app now lets you send compatible attachments such as gift cards and tickets to Apple’s Passbook digital wallet. It now also supports 19 more languages and lets you mark messages as unread or spam, highlight important emails with stars, and print them out.
