GyazMail: the mail client for older Macs

GyazMail iconThis takes me back to the 10.1/10.2 days, before anyone had invented decent webmail, the days when I still used Eudora and loved it. Passion for Eudora aside, I still experimented with alternative email clients (everybody did, right?), and one of those was GyazMail.

It was actually pretty good, at the time, and a serious rival to Apple's then-still-young Mail. In recent years I'd rather forgotten about it, but lo and behold, here it is popping up with new updates.

This new release kills a bunch of bugs and tweaks a few features, but what impresses me most is that the update is available for Jaguar users, with a separate (Universal Binary) version for those on 10.3 or later. That's what I call legacy support.

If you have a creaky old Mac that still serves you well running one of these older big cats, and you need a mail client for it, GyazMail is well worth a glance.

Why a Universal binary for 10.3? I don't think Intel Macs supported anything prior to Tiger.

I don't know. It's hard for me to think of anything post OS X 10.0 as legacy. Maybe OS 9. Definitely System 7.

WOW, seeing screenshots for the application in question makes me remember why I used themes on the older versions of OS X. OUCH STRIPES!!!
