We've been agonizing over this decision for months. It's extremely hard to say goodbye, especially after working on Mailplane for so long. We know we have customers who love and rely on Mailplane as much as we do. We completely understand if you no longer want to use an app which has an uncertain future. Reply to this email if you have purchased Mailplane in the last 60 days and want a refund. We will continue trying to work around the blockade and keep Mailplane alive for existing customers as long as possible. It would come back to bite us for sure.Īs of now, we are no longer selling licenses for Mailplane. We've already started working on the next major version, but we don't feel we can bury our heads in the sand and happily continue selling licenses and developing new features. That's why we came to the painful decision to face the truth and pull the plug. But it's a red flag for us to work around something that Google sees as a security enhancement. ĭuring the 15 years we've been working on Mailplane, we've developed many workarounds and hacks to make Gmail more fun on your Mac. After all, we are happy users of Mailplane as well. We already have a workaround in place and are trying to keep Mailplane running as long as possible. In the last 6 months, we have tried everything to find an official solution with Google, but without success. See to read its announcement.Īlthough there is a solution for apps that work with the Gmail API, unfortunately none are available for specialized browsers like Mailplane which are built on top of Gmail's web interface. Google has started blocking embedded browsers from its login page. It has been around for almost 15 years and was one of the first specialized browsers for Gmail. Mailplane manages Gmail, Calendar and Contacts accounts instead of cluttering up the browser window. If you have bought Mailplane in the last 60 days, reply to this email if you want a refund Mailplane will continue to function for existing customers and we'll try our best to keep it running We are no longer selling licenses for Mailplane If you're pressed for time, here's the short version: Mailplane is simply the best means of handling multiple Gmail accounts, if you own a Mac. It was with great sadness that I received the following from Lars & Ruben of Mailplane.
