Embed Images in Gmail with Mailplane 2.1 for Mac
Using Gmail on a Mac? Then you may already know about Mailplane — if not, and you’re looking for an email client to use with Gmail, Mailplane is worth a look. The standalone software integrates seamlessly with multiple Gmail accounts and can make email wrangling far less of a chore. Version 2.1 is fresh out of beta and adds useful features like support of offline Gmail using Gears and image insertion within the text of your mail. Don’t forget that Google recently added a feature allowing you to tame your offline email — you can specify which folders appear offline and how much of that mail you really want to tote around. Also included in this release is support for multiple rich text email signatures.
Mailplane is $24.95, although this upgrade is free to all Mailplane 2.0 users and there is a free 30-day trial available. Still not sure what this setup adds over Gmail in a browser? Have a look at the two-minute walk-through for a better idea. Although I prefer a browser over most third-party apps, Mailplane is one of the few exceptions in my personal toolbox.

Your title seems to focus on embedding images in gmail messages. I am curious as to why this focus, since gmail already supports this functionality.
Thanks,

There are too many Mailplane features to list in a title, so I simply chose one of the new ones. ;) While Gmail does support this functionality, it does so in a Google Labs function, not natively by default.
Interesting since I am new to G Mail. Is there any way to put G Mail desktop icon on Windows 7?
You can place a Gmail shortcut on the desktop by using either the Google Chrome browser or Mozilla’s Prism app.
mailplane is great, I’ve been a user for about three years now. I really like the new offline function, which is very easy to impliment on a mac and works great. This is just one of those products that keeps getting better each time. Very good value proposition, especially if one has multiple gmail accounts.
Thanks for the info! I and a few friends are new Mac folks (Mac-Virgins, if you will). Highlighting info about these apps is much appreciated by all of us!
