My friend Ben just shot me a beta invite to Mailplane which looks essential for GMail users running Mac OS X. Mailplane is a standalone application that’s essentially built around Google’s Gmail with functionality and plugins that make the mail experience much better from what I’ve seen. Some of the features include:
- Drag and drop attachments
- Integration with Grab to capture and send screen shots and clips
- An iPhoto plugin for sending optimized photos
- Automatic picture optimization to decrease attachment sizes
- Works with multiple GMail accounts
- Send any document as a PDF
- Google Talk integration
I’m downloading the application right now to give it a look; everything I’ve seen so far was in this screencast overview; well worth a view of this shareware app now in beta.
