I like it alot. I have 4 gmail accounts and can easily access them when needed– much quicker than logging out from one etc– if I use gmail va browser

I agree that the utility is low for the cost. I love the notifier portion of mailplane, but I want to use all the google labs stuff. I want to live in the cloud and prism let's me do that more easily.

I completely agree with the author of this article. In addition I need to say that I regret that Mailplane still makes me grab the browser for a mobileme account that it cannot access…

Mailplane is nice, but way overpriced. For a $10 I would not hesitate, now I am moving away. The browser itself isn't that bad anyway Too bad for the Mailplane developers. IMHO they'd better be fair and collect a small amount from many people, adding up to a substantial amount.

PS: like the author I am pay for my software, as should everybody. However, I like to get value for money. Mailplane does offer a lot, but not value for money.

You're cheap. It's the 25 bucks that galls you, not the app.

You can drag and drop attachments into the attachment window in safari or using fluid. Not worth $25 although if I had multiple GMail Accounts and less imagination /time and more money I would probably buy it.

MailPlane = the ability to manage multiple Gmail accounts in one place without sacrificing all the features of Gmail that make it the best email solution, period.

I've been using it for over a year to manage a dozen or so email accounts that are important to my business. It's fantastic software, and I consider it a bargain.

Not to mention the features that MailPlane adds like drag and drop for attachments, etc.

A bit late to the party here, but just found out about this program...

I was a bit shocked at the $25 price, considering it's more or less a skin, but the ability to switch between different accounts and drag/drop attachments made it worth the price to me. Options for screen shots are very nice too.

Of course, I am using it for business. Do a lot of graphic stuff and deal with a lot of workers, so the screen shots come in handy for me more than most maybe... Same for attachments and switching from account to account.

If you're a business user, definitely check it out.

Can't help but agree -

My mailplane trial ended last month, and I just didn't find $25 value. But I still use it (with all features disabled) as it's handy to start & very handy getting gMail out of the browser.

Drag + Drop attachments only saved me 1 click (now I click 'attach' then drag into the standard Finder Dialog)

Thanks for showing me Fluid - I'm going to utilize it with gMail + gmail notifier and report how that goes.

Cheers
