Working on Sparrow 1.4.1

Dear Sparrowers,

We’re currently working on Sparrow 1.4.1 focusing on the issues you reported:

  • Growl support
  • iCloud Support
  • Mail ordering
  • Quick reply all 
  • Encoding issue 
  • Quick Look in full screen mode
  • Various crashes

The recently released version of Growl does not work with Sparrow 1.4 but it will in Sparrow 1.4.1.

iCloud will also be supported in Sparrow 1.4.1 but know that you can still connect your account by following those steps in the current version.

Some of you have been experiencing connection issue related to Gmail’s 2-step authentication, make sure you have generated the specific password required for third party apps like Sparrow.

Sparrow 1.4.1 will be posted to the Mac AppStore in a few days.

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