![]() A free 30-day download is also available.Īnother little computer chore that I started experiencing months ago was accessing bookmarks in the three different web browsers I use. If you Gmail on a regular basis, Mailplane is well worth the $24.95 price tag. If you have more than one Gmail account, you can easily have all your emails forwarded to one of the accounts, but with Mailplane there’s really no need to do this, because switching between accounts takes just a few seconds, and you don’t have to constantly re-enter your account username and password to log-in. Mailplane also includes several other ways to attach files from Snow Leopard’s Services menu, including the contextual and print drop-down menus of certain applications. Unlike with the online Gmail client, you can also easily drag and drop media files to send attachments. In the area of media content, however, Mailplane also includes access to your iTunes library and movie files on your computer, so that your media files can be accessed and attached to new emails without leaving the web client. ![]() Similar to Apple‘s Mail, you also have access in Mailplane to your iPhoto, Aperture, and Address Book content. There’s a screen capture feature that enables you to take one or more screen shots that automatically get attached in a new email. However, there’s plenty of added features in Mailplane that go beyond the online client. So all that you know about using Gmail online can be done in Mailplane. Mailplane of course also has a complete user interface that downloads the web version of your Gmail accounts. These two features alone are big time savers, because it means not having to visit online Gmail accounts to view new emails. Unlike Apple’s Mail, Mailplane‘s includes a Finder menubar icon that indicates the number of unread emails, and when clicked it shows the subject line of unread messages. Mailplane is a desktop mail client for Gmail. ![]() I tried having selected emails in my accounts forwarded to my desktop Apple Mail client, but I ended up not liking that approach simply because I wanted to keep my Google accounts separate from my MobileMe accounts.Ĭhecking Gmail online was also not a joy because I couldn’t use shortcut keystrokes and the awesome time-saving SteerMouse plug-in to quickly navigate email messages in the online client. So I guess you can say this review is part of a continuing series about programs that are great applications in their own right, but also solve particular problems for computer users.īefore I downloaded and started using Mailplane, checking my Gmail accounts was nothing short of a pain. Now when you hover on your email, you should see the commands you have picked or no command when you’ve selected “Nothing”.I view some software applications as real problem solvers. Press the Back button or Options header at the top of the Navigation Pane to return to your Mailbox.Once you selected the 4 commands you want to show up or not show up, press the Save button at the top.You can set them to any of the following You’ll now see a preview of your current Quick Actions with below that, 4 dropdown lists with commands to choose from.In the Options’ Navigation Pane on the left choose:.Text link at the bottom: View all Outlook settings-> Mail-> Customize actions Click on the Gear icon in the top right corner (left from your own profile image).To disable or alter the action for any of the Quick Actions, you can do so in the Layout section of the Options page When hovering on a message in Outlook on the Web, the Quick Actions will become available above the time/date of a message. You can indeed disable them if you don’t want to use them or customize them so they perform another action (although your choice is very limited). The Quick Actions icons that appear when hovering on an email in Outlook on the Web (OWA) can help you to triage your emails more quickly but can also work against you when you hit the wrong command. Also, as Outlook on the Desktop doesn’t support the Pin feature, I don’t use that either.Ĭan I somehow disable some of these Quick Action icons and assign other commands to them like Archive or Move? I sometimes have a bit of a “trigger finger” and worry that I might hit the Delete icon by mistake.
