Mailplane stopped selling licenses
Although 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.
We already have a workaround in place and are trying to keep Mailplane running as long as possible. After all, we are happy users of Mailplane as well. But we can’t make any promises. It is uncertain how long it will last. It may last years or be over tomorrow. Only Google knows …
During the 15 years we’ve been working on Mailplane, we’ve developed many workarounds and hacks to make Gmail more fun on your Mac. But it’s a red flag for us to work around something that Google sees as a security enhancement.
That’s why we came to the painful decision to face the truth and pull the plug. 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. It would come back to bite us for sure.
Write to us if you have purchased Mailplane in the last 60 days and want a refund. We completely understand if you no longer want to use an app which has an uncertain future.
