Softpedia Editorial Review: Mailplane gets 4 out of 5 stars
Monday, March 29, 2010
The Softpedia editors just published an extensive Mailplane review. Mailplane got a VERY GOOD (4 out of 5 stars)!
Mailplane is a friendly piece of software that aims to enhance and optimize the way you write and manage e-mails. It lets you add new buttons in the Toolbar and play with the shortcuts, so that you can switch views, convert attachments or minimize pictures within a click. Mailplane provides you with a different approach for labeling more e-mails at a time and a good search method.
Goodbye Mail.app – Hello Mailplane
Tuesday, March 23, 2010
Martin Sauer posted a very positive Mailplane review on the well known German apfelquak.de blog. The title: "Goodbye Mail.app – Hello Mailplane":
Kurzum: nach wenigen Tagen frage ich mich, wie ich ohne das Tool auskommen konnte. Mal davon ab, dass ich an Gmail mehr und mehr Gefallen finde, macht Mailplane die Sache erst richtig rund. Die knapp 19 EUR, die diese Software kostet, sind meines Erachtens durchaus angebracht.

AppleMatters: Problems Solved
Friday, January 29, 2010
Bakari Chavanu published a very nice review about Mailplane and another application called Webnote. Both apps solved some problems he was experiencing. With Mailplane he solved these:
Before I downloaded and started using Mailplane, checking my Gmail accounts was nothing short of a pain. I tried having selected emails in my accounts forwarded to my desktop Apple Mail client, but I ended up not liking that approach simply because I wanted to keep my Google accounts separate from my MobileMe accounts.
Checking Gmail online was also not a joy because I couldn’t use shortcut keystrokes and the awesome time-saving SteerMouse plug-in to quickly navigate email messages in the online client.
Engadget: 10 outdated elements of desktop operating systems
Monday, January 25, 2010
Paul Miller wrote a very interesting and inspiring editorial on the shortcoming of todays operating systems. It's a great read, and Mailplane seems to help solve these OS problems:
I'm gonna go a little crazy here and say that we're not necessarily going to leave the desktop behind and dive into some glorious world of just needing a web browser. In fact, when I think about some of my favorite applications, they're the exact reversal of that trend. Mailplane puts my Gmail in a familiar, functional desktop context, Tweetie makes managing Twitter a casual, persistent activity instead of a chore, and iPhoto manages my social photo sharing folders for me so I don't have to stare at endless web forms and upload dialogues to get stuff on Flickr.

Update: The review title in English is "Mailplane is like Gmail on steroids"
Macgasm Mailplane video review
Monday, October 19, 2009
Corey Harris published a detailed and very useful video review on Macgasm:
I don’t know about you, But I have several Gmail accounts. It can be a pain in the rear to sign in and out of my accounts just to check my mail. Mailplane makes it easy though. Mailplane is a desktop application that allows you to setup all your gmail accounts and have full access at any time, without having to log in and out of all your accounts.
Here are a few comments to keep in mind when you watch the video:
- Mailplane is fully Snow Leopard compatible – the missing label creating feature isn’t related to Snow Leopard
- Label creation from the Command-L dialog: This is a Mailplane 2.1 feature, which is still in beta. Mailplane 2.0.x doesn't have the feature.
- Family license: It’s for up to 5 users living in the same household.
- Using the “Multiple Inbox” lab feature w/ Mailplane may cause some problems with keyboard shortcuts.
TUAW: Mac power tools - charge up your workflow
Friday, October 09, 2009
Victor Agreda, Jr just published a very interesting blog post about his favorite Mac power tools. Mailplane is among them!
Next I needed a better way to juggle 3 Gmail accounts. But I also needed a way to track the metric ton of inbox items that flow through those email conduits. The solution was the combination of MailPlane and Things. I had really dedicated my heart to Toodledo, but there's one trick I couldn't replicate on any setup (The Hit List included): when I get an email in MailPlane, I can select some text and press Shift-Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-0 and the Things HUD pops up and autofills the notes section with a link to the email itself. It is awesome.

Ben Gribbin at Apple Reviews created a very informative video review:
Ben shows how you can attach files via drag and drop, how to use the Mac address book, how to switch between accounts, and more. At the end, he gives Mailplane a 5 star verdict!
I love the "video review" format, BTW.

MacNewsWorld Review: “Mailplane Gives Gmail a Landing Pad on the Mac Desktop”
Wednesday, August 12, 2009
John P. Mello Jr. published a thorough and nice review at the Mac News World site:
Read the full reviewOne aspect of Web mail that's always bothered me is not knowing when new messages arrive in my in-box. Mailplane addresses that problem with an excellent notification system. It alerts you to a new message within seconds of its arrival in your in-box. Better yet, it will alert you to new emails even if the program is minimized to the OS X dock.
What's more, the program supports Growl. Growl is a free notification system for OS X that gives a user more control over notifications from applications compatible with it.
Because Web mail can be used from any computer that runs a Web browser, it's a very attractive application for users on the go. However, with Mailplane, users who spend most of their time pecking at the same keyboard day after day can now enjoy the benefits of the cloud app without having to forgo many of the features that make resident email programs so popular.
