Really Vimium is a Chrome feature/plugin that adds Vim keys to the browser. Since this is just a wrapper on the web version of Gmail/Google Apps I miss Vimium. It’s certainly not something I find really bad but you’ll have to wait a 10−15 seconds while accounts load at times.

Sure you can have the quick calendar tab just like in Gmail but it’s still a bit of a jarring experience to head out to the browser.Īccount switching and loading time can also be pretty slow at times. It would be great if your web browser didn’t fire up when you can to look at your calendar. While Mailplane ascribes to the ‘one thing well’ mentality I’d still like to see the other Google applications integrated. I turn off all notifications of new mail (no badges, no Growl, no sound…) since all notifications do 95% of the time is distract you from productive work. Hate the ads in Gmail, well Mailplane has an option to hide the ads so you don’t have to see them anymore.įinally like many other OS X apps Mailplane integrates with Growl, if you like that sort of thing. Not something that Gmail offers and it’s a time saver if you’re attaching things often (like I am with comps of Web designs).

Mailplane also allows you to optimize attachments automatically after they are dragged in to the application window. In fact the () indicates its been there since 2009 so I obviously needed to look harder. If you’re a Things user then you’ve got the same email functionality as Omnifocus listed above. Update: J– Looks like this was supported all along and I just missed it. No more looking for emails reference by a TODO item. Look at all those Keyboard ShortcutsĪs an user I also appreciated the addition of a plugin that allows Omnifocus to link directly to emails in Mailplane. You can also access a quick view of all the shortcuts by pressing ‘?’. Mailplane also supports all of the standerd Gmail shortcuts so if you’ve already learned them you’re not going to be thrown off by proprietary shortcuts. I have 3 accounts that are used regularly so this is/was a great feature. Mailplane also allows fast switching between any number of Gmail/Google Apps accounts (which you an sort of do online) along with a number of other nice refinements.Īs I mentioned above Mailplane lets you use any number of Gmail/Google Apps accounts and switch between them quick. Well it adds more than just OS X chrome to the web interface.

Since you can access it from the web in the same format why on earth would you pay for an application that just adds OSX chrome to the web interface? Mailplane is really just a standalone interface for the browser version of Gmail or Google Apps. I’ve wanted to try for a while since I’ve heard it recommended lots so this seemed like a good opportunity.
#Mailplane omnifocus update
Unfortunately a recent update that added support for other IMAP client has slowed Sparrow down lots and meant I’m in the market for a new email client again. For a while now I’ve been using to access my email both work and personal since they’re on Gmail or Google Apps.
