Sparrow alternatives (Mac)

5 points by bonjurkes 13 years ago | 7 comments

So after Sparrow acquired by Google, I am looking for new alternatives (except Mail.app and Outlook). There was a product that will be going to be on beta stage few weeks ago, that I read a news about it on here also.

So what do you recommend?

Thanks a lot!

Too bad it's subscription based

The biggest problem with other MUAs on OS X is Spotlight integration. I would love to have sufficient free time to write an mbox importer for Spotlight, because then you could run dovecot locally and still get the nice searching.

Out of interest, why not stick with Sparrow? It won't cease to work now that development has discontinued, or does it rely on something that Sparrow were hosting?

I recommend to give Mail.app a second try.

Postbox? Uses Thunderbird's backend paired with Mail's frontend. Not bad, still a memory and disk hog though.
