The lonesome death of attachments

Sparrow 1.4 is a special release for us. We took the time to improve our little bird both in terms of UI and performance. You should notice right away that Sparrow is now faster than ever.

It’s also been a while we wanted to integrate CloudApp. We use it daily at Sparrow and we thought it would make a lot of sense to get it into Sparrow.

All you have to do is activate the option in Sparrow Preferences and attachments should never be a problem again.

Of course, that’s not all. We also added:

  • A reversed thread ordering like in Gmail (older messages on top)

  • Pull-to-refresh

Pull to refresh


and we have made some improvement on the UI:

  • Default image in conversation view when no message or multiple message are selected
  • Window resize issue
  • Default compose window size
  • Message list default size is kept when modifying the sidebar state
  • Sidebar animations when showing / hiding
  • Default minimal size of windows



Important changes were also made under the hood, with a brand new draft management system which makes Sparrow:

  • Send mail faster
  • Behave better with bad network/ offline behavior
  • Synchronize faster



Bug fixes:

  • Zoho compatibility
  • Lotus Domino compatibility
  • Free compatibility
  • Dovecot server 
  • Crash on Send & Archive and various crashes
  • Animation bug when unminimizing Sparrow from the Menu bar icon
  • Hanging issue on Lion
  • Erased space in signature
  • ‘Not Spam’ option in the Spam folder

Sparrow 1.4 is coming to your desktop tomorrow. Here is a taste of it.

Sparrow 1.1.2 is now available on the Mac AppStore
Get it here or check for update if you have the licensed version.
Sparrow 1.1.2 is still in review at Apple. We submitted the update on April the 4th. Since, Sparrow 1.1.2 has been rejected twice. On the 15th of April, we requested an appeal on iTunes Connect and are now waiting for Apple’s answer. The application was rejected because Apple reviewers couldn’t add the test accounts we provided. After testing on our side, we were not able to reproduce the issue and came to the conclusion that Sparrow was being tested offline or behind a firewall (which could explain why Sparrow was unable to connect to any mail account). We kindly asked several times for log protocol to pinpoint the exact reason and make a consistent answer to the review team but had no luck. We had no other choice than to ask for an Appeal.   Sparrow 1.1.2 fixes the following issues: Duplication in Sent mailbox on Exchange servers Selection in folder mapping  Crash on sync Keychain conflict  “New message” option has been added to right-click on Dock icon  We’ve been working hard on Sparrow 1.2 for some weeks now. Most of what we’re doing has to be kept secret but the Universal Inbox will be there along with lots of improvements and cool new features. Thanks for your patience and feedback.

Sparrow Lite is now ‘In Review’ at Apple. We have begun the Beta testing of Sparrow 1.1 integrating general and custom IMAP. A new Tumblr page is now available: Sparrow Tips. It will be updated frequently and is meant to turn you into a Sparrow master. You can also submit tips yourself if you have a good one. The 10.5 licensed version of Sparrow (non-Mac AppStore) should be released soon along With Sparrow Lite. If you have some Tumblr love to share, recommend us in the Startup directory.

Sparrow 1.0.1 is available

ChangeLog:

  • Improved sending speed
  • Improved thread/conversation refresh
  • Basic Apple script support
  • ‘Menur bar only’ mode
  • Various bug fixes

Be aware that implementing the ‘Menu bar only’ mode breaks the usual bouncing behavior of the dock icon. We know no AppStore compliant workaround for the dock icon to behave properly when the ‘Menu bar only’ is implemented. 

Sparrow Lite (the free trial version) has been submitted to Apple for some time now but hasn’t been validated yet. The application is still ‘waiting for review’. We got in touch with Apple but had no feedback from them so far.

We’re working hard on Sparrow 1.1 (general IMAP support) and we hope you can get your hands on it fast.

Thanks for your support.
