Yipple.com – Free webmail with a touch of Mobile Me

Yipple Splash ScreenPerhaps comparing Yipple with Mobile Me is a vast exaggeration. It does not come close to all the features of Mobile Me, but it somehow has an tiny Apple feel to it (without Apple’s attention to details though).

After playing around with the interface of Yipple for a while, I got a déjà vu feeling. It somehow felt very familiar. When switching to the ’simple’ theme it all became clear to me: Yipple is nothing but a branded version of Atmail. The only thing Yipple has done is to slap a (buggy) theme on top of Atmail and called it Yipple. What makes it even more funny is that, at least in my opinion, the default theme in Atmail (named ’simple’ in Yipple) looks much better than Yipple’s default theme (named ‘advanced’). On top of that, Atmail’s theme works just fine in both Safari and Firefox, which is something Yipple’s theme does not. In addition, Yipple did not expand their theme to the entire service. For instance, if you switch to Calendar, it uses the default Atmail template.

Viewing emails in Zimbra Desktop

Zimbra Desktop is Zimbra’s answer to Microsoft’s Outlook. Contrary to what one would expect, Zimbra Desktop does not require a Zimbra server. It is simply a stand-alone desktop email client that works on all major platforms (Linux/Mac/Windows).

Zimbra Desktop comes with all the bells and whistles one would expect from an modern Personal Information Manager (PIM), such as POP3/IMAP support, contacts and calendar. In addition to these features, Zimbra Desktop also supports contacts and calendar synchronization with both Yahoo! Mail and Gmail. As far as features goes, it comes close to Outlook. At a low price of $0, could it be a potential Outlook killer?

Taking Thunderbird 3 Beta 4 for Mac OS X out for a spin

Thunderbird LogoWhile Mozilla is best known for their web browser FireFox they also develop the Thunderbird email client with the catchy slogan “Reclaim your inbox”. A few days ago Mozilla launched a new beta version of Thunderbird. Today I took it out for a spin. I haven’t used Thunderbird in quite a while, so a lot of things are new to me, but I’ll try to focus on the new features in this release.

First impression

My first impression of this new version of Thunderbird is that it is a major improvement over the 2.0 series. While 2.0 felt old and bulky, the new version feels much more modern and light. As far as design goes, Apple Mail is still ahead of Thunderbird. Yet, if features are more important than looks, Thunderbird is probably a winner already.
