Mailplane 2 Beta flying to your Mac

Look! Up in the air! It's a bird, it's Superman; no, it's Mailplane 2 Beta!

The wizards at uncomplex gmbh have posted a beta of an upgrade to Mailplane. In case you're not familiar with it, Mailplane is a "Mac-friendly" front-end to Gmail with a powerful feature set, and a quick fly-by of the upgrade revealed even more Gmail goodness:

Full support for Gmail 2
mailplane:// URLs for accessing and searching your Gmail database
A free OmniFocus clipping plugin for creating new tasks containing links to conversations in Mailplane
Better photo attachment customization
Assign different notification sounds and colors to specific Gmail accounts
The ability to post Google Spreadsheet forms
Integration with Mac OS X Address Book
A "Do Not Disturb" mode
and a few dozen more improvements!

Once the beta program is complete, Mailplane 2 will be free to registered users or $24.95 for single users.

Thanks for the tip, Chris!

How about just using Apple Mail with Gmail's IMAP access? I do exactly that and it works beautifully.

Mailplane rocks. It's virtually indistinguishable from the native browser based Gmail client as far as look/feel and functionality...except you have use its built in preview function when opening documents/images/etc. I've been using it exclusively for my Gmail client for a while now, and I'll never go back.

I'd say it's virtually indistinguishable because it IS a browser based gmail... just with more options. Nothing to incredible IMO, from the looks of things. The biggest thing I see that is a nice benefit is the account switching ease.

I rather use fluid in conjunction with other free apps that offer the same features that mailplane does.
