#2I'll try this as soon as somebody proves to me it doesn't immediately send my GMail password to a Russian spam factory.

#3Really great app, but really disappointingly appends "Sent with Sparrow" at the end of sent messages, with no preference to turn it off.
Massively uncool, even if I can delete it myself.
EDIT: Found this on the author's Twitter feed. Weird interface for what is an otherwise intuitive app: "Open the preferences window and double-click on the account. You'll be able to edit the signature."

#4A nice little preview. I can see its appeal although I'm not sure I'm ready to make the switch. One little pet peeve though. Why do so many Mac apps want to create a menuling now? It's not the Windows system tray. There's no good reason why this mail client needs a menuling. It can communicate everything through its Dock icon.

Have you tried Little Snitch before?

I personally roll sans-Dock, so I like it, but it should definitely have an option to turn it off. Seems like this one isn't even half-risen, let alone fully-baked, but it's tasty enough (extended metaphors are fun).

using google apps premier two factor auth and create a new key for it so you dont have to give it your real password and can revoke at anytime. (assuming Sparrow supports google apps email?)

I definitely agree. The menu bar isn't for every app to clutter up with pointless menus like the Windows system tray is (was?)

#10seems like it would have been easier to support imap first, and then it would instantly support gmail and every other email provider.
