Mail+ for Gmail 4+

I have been using this app for about a week. Previously, I would leave Google Mail up and running so I could monitor my inbox. Unfortunately, this slowed my MacBook Pro down quite a bit. I would also get a message regularly informing me that "this webpage was using a great deal of memory and that shutting it down would improve my Mac's performance. I have since closed Google Mail and opened this app. My Mac now runs much, much faster and I still get to monitor my inbox. I am fairly computer savvy (I know just enough to be dangerous) and I truly have no idea how the developer has been able to make this thing work the way it does. I am, however, etremely grateful that he or she created this app. Thanks so much.

I personally find having 'Mail for Gmail' very convenient and useful , especially since I can have it open at all times while I'm on the computer working, and during the times I am on the Internet I don't have to stop, open a new tab, and login threw the website. However, I do wish it had all the same "settings" you can access through the website Gmail. It would make it the ultimate program if it did have those options. Especially since when I am having issues with my Gmail account, the 'Mail for Gmail' works fine and the web version can have problems logging in but not here. I can still access my emails in this program without problems. Therefore, if the settings were available here to help troubleshoot problems with passwords or others related, being able to just go to my full set of settings would make this ideal!! Otherwise, it's my app I use daily as I have multiple accounts for very important and separate business or personal uses. "Knock on Wood," I have yet to have ANY issues with it and I've been using it daily for about 8 months!! Therefore, I do highly suggest this app, just know it does have certain limitations, as I mentioned limited settings options, you will still have to go to your actual Gmail account online for those, but that is understandable, as this is not your actual Gmail, it's a companion program to help with reasons I listed above for why it is so convenient.

I got excited about this app. I’d been using Cloverly as a MacOS Gmail client, but that app doesn’t to have been updated recently, and it was starting to conflict with some Gmail features. I found Mail+, and it seemed similar. I liked the idea of a one-time purchase rather than a subscription, so I bought it. However, I’ve now come to realize that some of the “pro” features are pretty limited. Yes, you can have multiple accounts, but there is no way to switch between them with a keystroke. You have to push the button in the upper right, and that’s flaky. If you mistakenly press cmd-1 in your second account, it makes both windows show your first account. Then if you try to swap back to your second, it creates a third window space (2 in account #1, 1 in account #2). The font scaling has only three options (it does show the ability to use cmd-+ to increase font size in the menu…but it’s greyed out).

I suppose it’s just that my workflow is different than they imagined, but other apps do this sort of thing just fine. I’ll keep trying to use it and hope that the developers continue to evolve the product. Given how long it’s been around, I’m not sure I have a lot of hope.
