Sparrow

An avid computer user may use Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, or another service for you email. Personally, I promote Gmail, because it's generally much snappier to shift through emails.

With one of these email services, a variety of clients are available to actually browse through your email. You can pick their online client by just going to their websites, or pick an alternative like Outlook, Thunderbird ("what's that" you say?), or Apple's Mail.

Sparrow is a simple mac email client.

Today let me present Sparrow, a straightforward and simple to use mac email client. What's unique about this application is the ease of use it brings with it. The interface is clutter-free, lacks annoyances, and lets you get through your email quickly.

Pull down the inbox to refresh your messages, check the dock icon or the menubar icon for new message counters, and manage multiple email accounts at the same time. If you have a multitouch trackpad on your computer, you can also use gestures to manage your messages.

A key feature that I enjoy is how Sparrow compiles all of your email accounts into a single "Unified Inbox". I have two personal emails and a school one, so this makes going through email smart and swift.

There's a free version with an ad at the top and a paid version without it. Try Sparrow out!
