Mailplane 2 Beta flying to your Mac

By Steve Sande

Look! Up in the air! It's a bird, it's Superman; no, it's Mailplane 2 Beta!

The wizards at uncomplex gmbh have posted a beta of an upgrade to Mailplane. In case you're not familiar with it, Mailplane is a "Mac-friendly" front-end to Gmail with a powerful feature set, and a quick fly-by of the upgrade revealed even more Gmail goodness:

  • Full support for Gmail 2
  • mailplane:// URLs for accessing and searching your Gmail database
  • A free OmniFocus clipping plugin for creating new tasks containing links to conversations in Mailplane
  • Better photo attachment customization
  • Assign different notification sounds and colors to specific Gmail accounts
  • The ability to post Google Spreadsheet forms
  • Integration with Mac OS X Address Book
  • A "Do Not Disturb" mode
  • and a few dozen more improvements!

Once the beta program is complete, Mailplane 2 will be free to registered users or $24.95 for single users.

Thanks for the tip, Chris!
