Kudos to Juan Antonio Vermejo: He brought Spanish back to Mailplane!

Mailplane 2.0.3 released

Mailplane 2.0.3 is a free maintenance release. Use Mailplane->Check for update to load it or download it manually.

Release Notes:

• WORKAROUND: Authentication problem warning.
• CHANGED: ⌘-L "Apply/Remove Label" panel is back.
• FIXED: In rare cases external links did open in Mailplane instead of the external browser
• CHANGED: Password field is now focused when it is empty.
• NEW: Spanish translation by Juan Antonio Vermejo!
• UPDATED: Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, and Romanian translations.

⌘-L and the Apply/Remove Label panel

Many users missed Mailplane's way to apply/remove a label. Now it is back. There are still some items missing (star, inbox, spam) - I hope to bring them back, too.

Tip: Use the 'l' or 'v' keyboard shortcuts, if you prefer the Google way using labels.

Mailplane 2.1-beta available for download

Thursday, February 05, 2009

You can't wait to get "offline Gmail" with Mailplane? If you like to test the upcoming Mailplane version, please visit the beta download page. The page contains a screencast too. Make sure to watch it before starting your own installation.

Important: This software is still in beta, it may contain bugs. Use at your own risk.

Mailplane 2.0.2 released

Mailplane 2.0.2 is a free maintenance release. Use Mailplane->Check for update to load it or download it manually.

Tip: Focus problem when replying - keys get interpreted

Sometimes keys get interpreted (instead of entered) when replying to a message. Here's how you can solve the problem:

1. Open System Preferences
2. Click "Keyboard & Mouse"
3. Go to the "Keyboard shortcuts" tab
4. At the bottom of the window there is a "Full keyboard access" setting: Set it to "All controls"

Changed: Apply/Remove Label Panel(⌘-L)

Google just rolled out a new feature to apply and remove labels. It is nearly identical to the "Apply/Remove Label" panel. Now ⌘-L opens the Google "Label" drop down menu.

Info: Offline Gmail is coming to Mailplane

Offline Gmail is coming to Mailplane, it will be available in 2.1. If you can't wait and like to test it: Visit the mailplaneapp Google Group.

Bug fixes

• Some users couldn't log in. This version detects the problem and allows you to workaround the problem.
• Unresponsive or slow Gmail because of missing "Tweak UI->Custom Stylesheet" file. Mailplane now checks for the CSS file and will disable the custom style sheet if it can't find the file.
• Crash when using "Advanced->Close instead of Hide Main Window" preference
• Tab order wasn't always correct
• Font size problems when copy/pasting text or inserting/deleting lines in "Rich text"

Chinese (Simplified & Traditional) Translations

Kudos to Jim Chiu (中文化制作) -- he has created both traditional and simplified Chinese localizations!

Dutch Translation

Thanks to Johannes Vinke, Mailplane now speaks Dutch!
