Sparrow Is Like Tweetie For Mac Plus Gmail. It’s Beautiful, But A Bit Slow

For the longest time, all I've wanted is a solid native Mac client for Gmail that supports starring of messages. Sure, there have been some out there, but they've all been lacking. Today, I may have finally found a good one. Sparrow is a super-simple Mac client for Gmail. If you've used Tweetie for Mac (which is now owned by Twitter, but development is more or less frozen), you'll feel right at home here. On the right hand toolbar you'll find a big icon for you account (again, just like Tweetie), your inbox, your starred items, your replies, your drafts, and your trash. Along the top of the window, you'll see an option to compose, reply to, archive, or delete. Naturally, there is also a search bar as well.
