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.

GyazMail 1.5 Released with IMAP support

GyazMail is something of a cult favorite among some OS X power users. I first discovered it on the late, lamented Drunkenblog. However, for many of us it was simply a non-starter in that it only worked with POP3. Well, now GyazSquare has finally added IMAP support in version 1.5. It's still a bit rough around the edges, but this is definitely one to watch for those of you who can't abide Mail.app.

GyazMail is $18 shareware and a demo is available for download now.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
