I've been using Sparrow for over a year now. It seems like they've stopped releasing updates, and lots of users (from what I'm reading on the App Store) are complaining of stability issues, but everything's fine here.
- lucisferre 13y agoThey were acquihired by Google. AirMail is a decent alternative though I find it a lot less stable than Sparrow, but use it because of the number of glaring problems Sparrow has that will never be fixed at this point. In the end I find AirMail a tad more usable.

- chmars 13y agoApple Mail and Thunderbird at least fail at keeping all folders (labels) up-to-date all the time. It usually works for the inbox but folders only get updated when you access them.
- chmars 13y agoAnd – as a current example – Apple Mail (Mavericks) still show already read mails from yesterday as unread in the 'unread mail' smart folder. 'Synchronize' does not help.
