I’ve got to admit that I’ve never used starred conversations for anything but if you do it’s here. Sparrow also has many other Gmail niceties like quick replies and starred conversations. It’s present in most email clients (and all that are worth looking at) so I won’t go in to more depth then to note that it’s included in Sparrow. I’m sure we’ve all spent time searching for exactly which email someone was responding to, well threaded conversations stops that. Notifications are application wide (in what type you get) but you can turn them off or on for each account which can help at least stop notifications from higher traffic accounts that don’t matter immediately.Īgain showing it’s Gmail based heritage Sparrow supports threaded conversations. Just want to see the icon in the menu bar with a little number for unread emails, you’re covered.
If you’re a notification kind of preson (I’m not) then you’ll be happy to know that Sparrow supports many types of notifications. Changing the image is as simple as dragging it on top of the old one. Add to that the ability to easily have different images for different accounts and it’s easy to see which account you’re working in visually. While it started as a Gmail only application it now supports pretty much any IMAP interface you can think of. Well of course Sparrow has you covered on both fronts. It’s also very possible that you’ll have multiple email providers that need to be supported in your email application. Unfortunately most of us have multiple email accounts now so any must have feature of an email application is support for multiple email accounts. I’m not really sure of the utility of the hide Sparrow custom keyboard shortcut since you can just use the OS X default ⌘H to accomplish the same thing. You can also record custom system wide keyboard shortcuts to hide Sparrow or start a new mail message.

Not only does it offer a full suite of it’s own keyboard shortcuts, but its history as a Gmail/Google Apps only client shows in that it support the Gmail shortcuts you’re used to. Sparrow offers pretty much everything you could want in keyboard shortcuts. One thing I always mention in a review is the amount of keyboard control that an application offers. Sparrow also offers a ‘minimal’ and ‘expanded’ view depending on your preferences. Looking at the applications I really love they’re all minimal and have a single function. This gorgeous minimal interface is what made me fall in love with Sparrow in the first place.
The minimal interface bear strong resemblance to the original Tweetie interface. The foundation in iOS development for the Sparrow team is pretty obvious when you first look at their application. As pointed out in the comments Cactuslab made the Sparrow site.
Sparrow is one of the newer entries in to the OS X email market and is made by Cactuslab, a company that designs websites and iOS applications a team of 3 that came together to improve the email experience on OS X. If you’re interested in the other two here is a look at Mailplane and Postbox.
