Thanks for the input, Alex! Sadly, I'm one of those fans that adores push notifications and icon badges, etc... So mailroom didn't seem to wow me (I also like the whizbang effect... Lol). My current mail setup is to have my personal gmail setup as an Exchange account so I can get push mail as well as calendar sync. I'm loving it so far. I then have my second account setup in G-Whizz since it's my fav gmail app right now (y'all should check it out!). I think all you guys should team up and make a Mailplane app for iPhone AND iPad! This way we could have multiple account access, push, whizbang(whatever that entails) and more! And that'd make it so much easier to switch from my Mac to my iPhone to my iPad since it'd all be the awesome same app!!! (I know this would never happen cause people want their money and monopolies are shunned here in the US, but it would totally make for an outstanding, flawless app!!!)
Thanks, all, for the input! I'd love to hear more ideas and see what can be done!
