Mailplane is an interesting application that brings Gmail to your Mac desktop. Sure you can access Gmail using Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Entourage if you want a desktop app. But Mailplane brings the best Gmail experience to the desktop and adds some very useful features.
I just bought a Family license for Mailplane. I scrapped using Gmail inside of Fluid. I basically got tired of logging in and out of several Gmail accounts daily using my browser. Mailplane allows unlimited Gmail accounts. The additional features of Mailplane that allows multiple signatures, instant emailing of screen snaps, automatically optimized photos for email, text snippets, drag and drop attachments, Growl support, Gmail keyboard shortcuts, easy download of attachments, offline support for Gmail and more.
I have looked at Mailplane before, but the updated Snow Leopard support sold me. I am now using it on all my Macs with for Gmail accounts I need to access.
Mailplane single user license $24.95, (2.1 upgrade is free to all Mailplane 2.0 users) that allows installing on any Mac you personally own. The Family license is $39.95 and allows up to five (5) family members living in the same household to use Mailplane on their Macs. There is a free 30-day trial available so you can try it out.
