![]() ![]() Many other email clients are clunky at best when it comes to this. ![]() If your like me, the best tool for accepting Google calendar invites is in the body of an email in Gmail or G Suite. Maybe that’s because I’m a Luddite at heart. I have not found a need for this, however. Among other things, you can compose messages with AppleScript. Mailplane has deep macOS integration with AppleScript, too. And as I already mentioned, you can reply to email from Mailplane’s desktop notifications. I use this all day long.Īnd of course there is mailto support, too. I can click on it to read my messages, in addition to creating one right from the menu bar. It shows me how many unread emails I have. You have mailĪnother favorite feature of mine is the Mailplane menu bar icon. I’d feel naked without it when composing email. Grammarly ensures that my messages are clear, mistake-free, and impactful. Thank goodness that Grammarly is included. That’s on top of the already supported extension for RightInbox, Streak, Boomerang, and Clearbit Connect. There are eight new integrated Chrome extensions including: Grammarly, FullContact, LinkedIn, Gmelius, Mixmax, Hiver, Salesforce, and Zoom Scheduler. I have not encountered another Mac email client that seamlessly integrates this well with Omnifocus to enhance my productivity. In my judgement, this feature alone is worth the $30 price tag. Now, when I open Omnifocus on any of my Macs, I can click the Mailplane link in the task, and it will take me back to the email in Mailplane. The text of the email, in addition to a link to the email, is now a task in that project. It automatically saves the email’s contents, and allows me to create a title and send it to whichever Omnifocus project I want. When I need to create a task with an important email, I hit Mailplane’s “clips” button in the Mailplane toolbar. ![]() With Mailplane, I can seamlessly integrate with third-party apps like DevonThink, Omnifocus, Todoist, Receipts, Evernote and more.Īs part of my workflow, I regularly use the task manager Omnifocus. It goes without saying: having multiple session logins in different browser tabs often results in a hair-pulling nightmare. Try managing multiple business and personal accounts in the browser. But you won’t get the desktop experience. Sure, you could use your Gmail or G Suite accounts right in the browser. Use any Google-supplied theme you want, or create your own. Let’s not forget “Google quick compose,” one of Google’s latest features that finishes the writing of your sentences as if the mail-compose window was reading your mind. There’s best-of-class email threads, labels instead of folders in addition to all the other good stuff provided by Google. There’s much better search than with a desktop client, too. With Mailplane, say goodbye to downloading gigabytes of emails. It’s a native Mac email desktop client experience for users who want the best of both worlds-a powerful and modern desktop application packaged in a web interface. If you take the free 15-day trial, you’ll understand that there are many good reasons to partake in the app Ruben and Lars have created. “This is just a web browser wrapper, so what’s the point?” Powerful desktop application I recommended that my Mac-using cohorts try Mailplane. A ton of IRC chat among the staff about which email client would work well with Google had ensued. When I was the senior editor at Ars Technica, for example, the site’s staff migrated from Microsoft Office 365 to G Suite. Along the way, I have been evangelising for the Gmail and G Suite centric app to whomever would listen. I haven’t looked back, despite wasting my money on an untold number of other Mac clients. I stumbled on Mailplane years ago while searching for an alternative to the native Mac client. Devs Ruben and Lars asked me to write a brief review of their Mac email client, and to offer a few examples of how I use some of its unique features as part of my consultancy business. I’m David Kravets and a satisfied, long-time customer of Mailplane. ![]()
