New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

Airmail, what's that? Still using Sparrow but getting a bit bored with it.

And Sparrow never gets updated because it was sold to Google last year.

It's way faster than Mail and much lighter weight in memory.

also: here's what Mavericks did to gmail/Mail relationship

oops it's here

http://www.tuaw.com/2013/10/23/how-mavericks-ruined-apple-mail-for-gmail-users/

christ almighty what did they do to the volume control

at least on android you can customise your keyboard

and install app killers

So updated to Mavericks and ios 7.0.3 or whatever and have apparently lost the ability to sync over wifi. Am I alone in this?

wifi sync breaks all the time - try connecting it via USB, it'll probably start working again after you disconnect

update iTunes also?

textmate guy is crowd-funding his email client. could be good!

lol the textmate guy is crazy

wow airmail is pretty dope

it looks a bit ios5

jumping from 10.6 to 10.9 I didn't know about the reverse scroll thing. immediately installed Scroll Reverser (naturally) to fix it, but ugh, it's stupid that you can't even change that in default settings without plugging in an apple mouse (i gave mine away years ago)

you shouldn't need a 3rd party app for that on 10.9, there should be a setting in the trackpad preference pane that says "use natural scrolling direction" or something. uncheck that

i have no trackpad or Apple brand mouse (on iMac) so the option doesn't even appear, it's stupid

What's going on w/ scrolling?

textmate guy should probably release textmate 2.0 or just point everyone to sublime text

after 10.6 they reversed the scrolling mechanism - i.e. wheel down pushes the page content up, wheel up pushes content down - to replicate iOS finger dragging. makes sense with the Trackpad but for mouse wheel it's bizarre

it's like those savages that use invert y-axis in FPS games

the option appears for me and i'm not using an apple mouse

what's your 'mouse' section of the pref pane say

Oh - that's how I like it. When I bought a Mac I changed that shit ASAP.

xp

I'm def pretty happy with AirMail, mainly because I'm so hitched to gmail. I think it's faster than Mail and for $2, I can forgive the UI. Not like a have a choice given that Apple fucking BROKE Mail w/gmail.

AirMail is the one that looks a lot like Sparrow but has multiple windows for some reason, right?

my gmail in apple mail in MAVERICKS seems fine, no idea what the problem is supposed to be, but maybe that's just because I'm a MAVERICK

no restarts since the third one thk fk

calling it. best OS yet

AirMail reminds me of Sparrow. Doesn't have multiple windows but has multiple panes. Maybe you can option-break them off into individual windows but I never would do that.

Other than Apple fucking BREAKING Mail on me, Mavericks seems solid as hell.

yeah idk what everyone's talking about.. gmail with Mail is one of the few things that didn't break for me on maverix

everyone is just going for it and installing a .0 release, huh

life is for living, lukas

I'm kind of surprised people still use desktop applications for mail.

I suppose some people need offline access.

I've used mailplane since the beginning. It's basically a fancified SSB, so not a full app thought it has some offline abilities, it's not synching or downloading everything, it just give you your own gmail browser with a bunch of improved features, menubar alert, resizing attachments, random stuff like that. Mostly I like to just have email open in a window that's not dependent on my browser.

webmail sucks

gmail web interface is the epitome of "good enough"

I still prefer it to most other web email interfaces, though. God, there are some awful ones.

Yeah I just keep gmail open all day.

everyone is just going for it and installing a .0 release, huh.

I'm safe, because I make sure that nothing I use my computer for is remotely important.

gmail's web interface is rage inducing. Horrible UI/UX.

jördhaider320 still going strong

Siracusa: "The turning point came in Mac OS X 10.4, which added support for arbitrarily extensible file system metadata. No longer were we confined to just a file name, a few dates, and some permissions and ownership information. Now we could attach any information to a file by adding arbitrary name/value pairs."

I must have read about this at the time, but it's news to me. Hasn't exactly set the world on fire I guess.

I still remember where I was when that happened.
