I’ve been meaning to write about Sparrow App – my now default mail app for work. It’s really worked for me. I like the lack of things I can do to incoming mail. I either read it or it stays unread. No filing, no labelling etc etc. Sparrow might allow you to do more, but I don’t know how and it works for me. Best of all, the app does a great job of keeping all those options that I don’t want to use, out of my way.
I recently caught a link to Olivier Charavel’s thoughts about Sparrow’s UI. It’s always interesting to read other people’s UI reviews, but I certainly hope Sparrow doesn’t go the way Olivier proposes. I’m not obsessed with it’s “Tweetie” like interface, but another “Thunderbird” would certainly be missing the point.
