Mailplane is a tool designed for those of you who love them both: Mac and Gmail. But they are both from different worlds and aren't friends, yet.

That's where Mailplane comes in to bring them together: Google Mail's superb SPAM protection, endless storage and global access  and the friendliness of your Mac.

Attach files
Drag 'n' drop your files and folders to Mailplane and watch them being attached to the message and automatically uploaded.

Send optimized Photos
Pictures get automatically resized and optimized to reduce the size of your message.

Instantly send Screenshots
Need to send a Screenshot? With one click you grab a portion of your screen and attach it to your message.

Send Pictures from iPhoto
Mailplane comes with an iPhoto plugin that makes sending picture attachments so easy: select any pictures in iPhoto and then press the email button. That's it.

Store Passwords in Keychain
No need to enter passwords every two weeks. Mailplane stores it safely in the Mac keychain and automatically logs you in at startup.

Download
Download attachments and then reveal them in Finder. If the attachment is a photo or even a ZIP file containing pictures, then you can directly import them to iPhoto.

Get Notified
Mailplane lets you know when new mail arrives. By playing a sound, by showing the number of unread messages in the application icon and by the Growl notification system.

More Stuff:
Full control of Google Mail with your keyboard, by using Mac keystrokes. Access the flexible and customizable toolbar.

Send mails from Address Book, Safari or any application showing "mailto" urls and more. You'll love it.
