14 DAY TRIAL // Mailplane, a tool that makes Gmail recognize Mac-specific fonts and features designed by the folks at uncomplex gmbh, has recently been updated to version 2.0.7. The application allows users to attach files, send optimized photos, instantly send screenshots and pictures from iPhoto, store passwords in keychain, do downloads and more, all backed by the built-in sound notification system, or Growl.
According to the changelog for Mailplane 2.0.7, developer uncomplex gmbh was able to fix an issue where a click on the Growl notification or an unread message opened a compose second window. The same problem was also addressed when printing emails. The release notes continue to list fixed issues, such as: Gmail wasn't properly focused after hiding the app or re-opening the main window; Preferences->Tweak UI->highlight selected row didn't work for unread messages; BadRequest/Timeouts when authenticating and unread message notifications stopped working for some users.
As you can see, Mailplane 2.0.7 is a pretty important update. Existing users are encouraged to download the new version as soon as they get the chance.
About Mailplane
Mailplane is a tool that makes Gmail recognize Mac-specific fonts and features. Those who use both Google's email client but also a Mac will love using Mailplane, as it brings Google Mail's SPAM protection, endless storage and global access, and the UI-friendliness of your Mac. Because Mailplane uses Growl, it lets you know you have new mail the instant it arrives. Also, Mailplane shows a Growl notification when someone wants to chat. The Google Talk Gadget is then displayed in a separate window, offering Video/Photo Preview and other features.
The tool can also be set to play a sound when new items arrive, and to show the number of unread messages in the application icon. Mailplane's iPhoto plugin allows users to send pictures from iPhoto by selecting their photos and pressing the email button.
