Mailplane 2 Beta flying to your Mac

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!
