Mailplane plug-in updated for iPhoto '08
Mailplane, the email client that integrates Gmail with Mac OS X, has released v1.5 with an updated iPhoto plug-in that brings compatibility for the new iLife '08 version. This now makes Mailplane's iPhoto plug-in compatible with versions 5, 6 and the new 7, which I prefer calling iPhoto '08 to avoid version confusion. You can simply use the Check for Updates command from Mailplane's application menu, and the developer recommends everyone update even if they don't have the latest iLife; turns out the current beta version expires on August 30th. A separate new version with bug fixes and new features is 'coming soon.'

What about security in MailPlane?
Their website mentions storage of multiple usernames/passwords in the Keychain but that does not cover whether https:// is being used. It also doesn't cover if https:// is used in all aspects, not necessarily the log-in process only.
Can they prevent packet sniffers from grabbing the full content of emails & attachments?

Hi Alex,
Mailplane does always login by using https. There is a (per account) preference that enables https for all communication with Google.
The only exception is the GTalk Gadget. It doesn't support https.
So the answer is: Yes - Mailplane can prevent packet sniffers from grabbing your content (except GTalk).
Hope this helps

This app has become a must for me and the combination with the excellent and ubiquitous gmail almost completely replaced mail.app (save for my .mac account). Congrats to the developpers and looking forward to more features.

I use this program all day long and *love* it. Glad to see the developer is on top of things.
