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!
Thanks for the tip, Chris!

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

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.

Nothing to incredible IMO, from the looks of things. The biggest thing I see that is a nice benefit is the account switching ease.
