Search the whole website for new features, screencasts, faq, known issues

Watch screencasts, they are now grouped by category and can be found in one place. I plan to add more short screencasts before the release of 2.0.

Enjoy the brand new blog. Much improved categories, commenting, and archives.

Check for known issues. The same information is displayed in the "Mailplane->Help->Support Feedback" window.

Subscribe the FAQ, blog, known issues, and screencasts.

I hope you enjoy the new design and improvements as much as I do. If anything isn't working as it should, either leave a comment or use the new contact form to get in touch.

Wondering about the new setup?

• The website is driven by Expression Engine, a very powerful and nice blogging and content management system.
• The old blog posts and faq were stored in Rapidweaver, comments were hosted by haloscan. All blog posts, FAQ entries, features, and comments were moved by parsing the RSS/ATOM feed and generating an import file. I wrote two short ruby scripts for the task.
• To add pictures to the site, I now use the great ImageWell application
• To edit any content, Textmate with the blogging bundle is used.
