Bring Gmail on Your Mac Desktop

Gmail is currently one of the most attractive mail solutions on the Internet because it is regarded as the most efficient service against spam messages. As you know, Google developed Gmail Notified in two flavors, Windows and Mac, but what if you could integrate Gmail directly into your Mac desktop? I really think it can be very useful especially if you're a Gmail lover because you can access your inbox directly from the desktop of your Mac. All you need to do is to install Mailplane for Mac OS X 10.4 or later, an application designed by Ruben, a Mac developer.

The application provides iPhoto intergration and Growl notification as macnn reported and is currently available as a private beta program. Although the developer of the tool didn't mention if the application will be offered for free or among a shareware license, Ruben is now looking for beta testers so, if you're interested, you should click on this link. The same publication sustained Mailplane supports resize photos function as well as drag and drop attachments so using the program is quite easy.

"An avid Mac developer has unveiled Mailplane for Mac OS X, a new Cocoa shareware application that integrates Gmail into the Mac desktop. Mailplane supports drag-and-drop file attachments, and automatically resizes photos when composing messages. The software features iPhoto integration, as well as Growl notifications," macnn reported.

As you know, Gmail was recently released from a private beta stage because the mail service was available only by invitation since its launch date in April, 2004. Because more and more users are attracted by the mail product, Google is now hard at work to improve the filters of the solution, describing it as the most efficient web-based email service against spam messages.
