1.1.0

Version: 1.1.0

Mimestream looks great, works smoothly, and has a nice style about it; but it is pricy for what you get. At $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year (all subscription-based) this seems to me to be an expensive way to check (and organize) your email. It seems to me that GMail's online interface (which is free) is a better deal. If you want a client program then Apple's Mail, Thunderbird or EMClient are good options (and all free). In terms of comparable paid offerings Postbox is $49.99 for a *lifetime license*, Outlook is included with Office 365, and a ProVersion of EMClient is $59.99. All those free and paid clients can access GMail, though, yes, Mimestream does it very nicely and with some cool features -- but I guess the question is: Are those features worth $50 a year. I don't think so.

1.0.3

Version: 1.0.3

I used this app throughout its beta program and was waiting with much interest in getting the full release. It's a nice and mostly transparent window for the Gmail process and worked well, and I dislike using a browser for email, even though it is basically a browser underneath it all. At any rate, I am totally through with the app now, I don't do subscriptions. I understand the developer's reasons for doing this, but it means that, at least in my case, he's lost a customer.

MacUpdate: says this: Free Absolutely Free but if you go to the site this is what it says. Why will this app cost money? Mimestream's core business is developing high quality e-mail software, and doing this requires revenue. Instead of monetizing your e-mail data for advertising or market research purposes, we take a firm stance on privacy, and charge for our software.

This app shows a lot of promise and I'm already using it as my primary mail client.

Trying it since a few days and really love it. It's blazing fast and has also very good rendering also in dark mode.. It even looks as an Apple app. The best after Sparrow for Gmail users.
