Hey-- I just want to chime in about the Account Switching! I think a long time back I had asked if it was possible to run multiple copies of MailPlane to have two accounts open simultaneously. I remember you saying it wasn't possible because all copies of WebKit share the same Cookie Store.
However-- I noticed that the latest version of Fluid has the ability to run with a separate Cookie Store for each instance: http://fluidapp.com/ Fluid requires OSX 10.6, so perhaps this is enabled by a recent API change? Perhaps you're already planning this in version 3, but I thought I'd just make some noise about it! :-) -Justin On Sep 15, 8:43 am, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Scott, > > Many thanks for the detailed feature requests! > > Dropbox attachments: Indeed, some space is wasted by sending huge attachments > to another persons inbox.
