Comments and Reviews
Sparrow looks pretty sweet. Unfortunately that's all. It's not usable when even standard like S/MIME are not supported. Fail. After the company has been acquired by Google it's the end of Sparrow probably anyway.
Love Sparrow Mail on my Mac. Just hope they will continue development after being bought by Google.
Sparrow's interface is neat and tidy, but I don't find it any more functional than Gmail's web interface, which is also quite straightforward. Plus, Sparrow is rather laggy when you're dealing with extremely large email conversations (think 100+ messages). I didn't even find any particularly noteworthy features in Sparrow. I might as well just stick to the Gmail website, if only to use Gmail Labs.
The best email client i've ever used. Clean visual, easy to use and many (essencial) nice features.
Sparrow does to email what Bean does for word processing. It's nice to look at, easy to use, and it doesn't have any unnecessary features. For fans of minimalism, this is the best email client you can get.
