Still hoggin' CPU, Still no Undo
I was hoping that 1.6 would solve some longstanding issues. Nope. Your CPU usage will hover between 9 and 21% for your 'ancient' Core2Duo. Why? I dunno, other than they like wasting electricity. Also, there is still no undo function. If you move an email to archive, and want it back, ha ha… you get to go to all mail, and move it back to your inbox.
The short story here is it's a very polished UI with a poor experience. For me, using the web interface is still faster to process email, and offers more flexibility in usage. Sorry, Sparrow, you fail the questions three, still.
The best!
After the last update, this is really the best email client for Mac, ever! Don't think, just buy it!
Fast, smooth, great UI
This latest update is amazing. Keep up the great work! You are missing out if you are using any other mail client to manage your gmail.
