Uncomplex releases Mailplane 2.0 for Google's Gmail

Uncomplex has released Mailplane 2.0 for Google's Gmail, after many months of development and beta testing.

The application brings Gmail to your desktop, a fully fledged Mail client within a web browser, which Uncomplex say offers users the best of both worlds.


Mailplane supports multiple Gmail and Google Apps accounts; the app lets the user easily switch between accounts without the need to sign in/sign out from the Gmail accounts.

With full iLife integration, users can browse and attach files from their iPhoto and iTunes libraries. Downloads can be directly imported into iPhoto as well. The integrated screenshot tool lets the user take and attach a window, screen or region.

Users can Drag and Drop files and images on the dock application icon, or any Mailplane window to create and upload attachments. And with automatic photo optimisation, image attachments can be converted and resized to make the message even smaller.

Mailplane can play a user defined sound, as well as show the number of unread messages in the application icon, account drawer and status menu item.

As Mailplane monitors all Gmail accounts, unread message counters and message subjects are displayed for each account.

For more appealing notifications, Mailplane fully integrates with Growl. Mail can be sent directly from the Mac address book, Safari or any application showing "mailto" URLs.

Mailplane 2.0 includes 41 new features and improvements including:

New Gmail 2 add-ons and keyboard shortcuts like Apply/Remove label, navigate to label, and hide spam counter.

Much improved account notifications including a "Do not disturb" mode.

More ways to create email attachments (clipboard, better drag/drop support).

Mailplane URL to access searches and conversations from any application.

OmniFocus clipping plug-in to create task with a Mailplane URL.

Mailplane 2.0 is available in English, Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan, French, German, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian (Bokmal), Portuguese (Portugal/Europe), Polish, Romanian and Russian.

A single user license is priced at $24.95, while a full 30-day demo is also available.
