Uninstall Mailplane cleanly

Monday, May 28, 2007

Mailplane needs no AppZapper: If you ever need to remove Mailplane from a Mac, there is the handy "Uninstall..." menu item. It removes all Mailplane related data like keychain entries, preferences, account information, text snippets, iPhoto plugin, PDF service item.

New application icon!

Monday, April 30, 2007

Mailplane has a new application icon! The unread message count badge has been improved, too.

Many kudos to professional icon designer Jonas Rask. He created the icon and badge. I hope you like it as much as I do!

New Google Talk window

Saturday, April 28, 2007

Since last update, Mailplane includes a Google Talk window for an easy chat. Never miss a call again: If somebody wants to talk, Mailplane shows a Growl notification. The brand-new Google Talk Gadget (displayed inside the window) offers some nice features like video and photo preview. See the this blog for more information.

Currently the Google Talk window works with "normal" Google accounts. Support for "Google Apps for your Domain" accounts will be added as soon as the Gadget is ready for it.

Open Word attachments as Google Documents

Friday, April 13, 2007

Many people send Word document as attachments, though not everybody has Microsoft Word installed. Sure: They can be viewed as HTML, but now Mailplane integrates with Google documents: Directly import attachments as Google documents and edit them in your preferred browser.

Webkit nightly enables rich text editing in Mailplane

Thursday, April 05, 2007

With the latest and greatest Webkit version, rich text editing is now available in Mailplane. By default, Mailplane uses Webkit that comes with your Mac OS X. In Tiger this is limited to plain text editing. But now, you can download the latest Webkit build and tell Mailplane about it by setting a preference.

BTW: How do you like the line "Invite Apple to Gmail" in the screenshot - sweet isn't it?

Print from any application to Mailplane

Tuesday, April 03, 2007

Did you ever want to mail that nice looking Pages, Keynote or "you name it" document to other users? Well, chances are they cannot open your jewel if they have no Mac or the required software. In such situations, PDF fits the bill. It preserves all visual attributes of your document and can be viewed and printed on virtually any Windows, Linux or Mac computer.

With the latest Mailplane update, you will find a "Mail PDF with Mailplane" action in the print dialog of any application that supports printing. Select that action and the document is automatically converted to a PDF file and attached to a Mailplane message.

BTW: This feature is additionally to the already implemented "Mail link to this page" and "Mail contents of this page" menu items available in Safari (or "Send Link..." in Firefox).

Thanks Josh R

Mailplane supports “Google apps for your domain”

Sunday, March 18, 2007

I like to keep everyone informed about the progress we make in the private beta. When something major is accomplished, I will publish it on this blog.

As many people have asked for it, I feel this improvement needs to be mentioned: Mailplane now works successfully with both regular Gmail and "Google apps for your domain" accounts.
