Never thought I could stop using the gmail interface, but @mailbird made it possible. Almost forgot how much better a desktop app can be.

After that, Mailbird is free to use, forever. If you need more than 1 account – and don’t want to purchase Pro – there are tons of ways Mailbird let’s you extend your trial by referring friends, sharing, tweeting, and more.
