Q: Why do I need Mailplane when there is IMAP for Gmail?
A:Google mail is about a "different approach to email". Most of its unique features are lost by using IMAP. I love to "Google search" my emails, see all relevant posts in the conversation view, use labels instead of folders, see the virus scanner at work, chat with Google Talk etc.
Mailplane is about combining this "different approach to email" with desktop features found in email applications such as Mail.app or Thunderbird.
Here is my blog post about the subject.
