What is the advantage of this over using the Gmail web ui? The Gmail web ui works great for me, has keyboard shortcuts, push notifications, works on all operating systems, supports multiple accounts with the /u/1/ subpath, etc. What does this offer that I'd be willing to pay for it and lock myself in to Mac OS exclusively?
- presentation 6y agoOn my machine it feels 1000x faster since it's a native app.
- tienshiao 6y agoIt uses way less memory for me with a handful of accounts. Five tabs of Gmail probably used a couple gigs of memory when left open for weeks. It's only been a day but 5 accounts in Mimestream is only using 350 megs of memory versus 1 tab of Gmail using 1.4 gigs of memory.
