I switched back to Airmail on OS X last week as it was pretty obvious Mailbox was dead as there were 2 critical bugs regarding switch and images not loading that hadn't been fixed in months. It's a shame but that's life.

I have to manually setup the rules/filters for now but reading through some other clients in the app store they seem to be buggy. I used Airmail years ago before Mailbox and it was stable and has been since switching back.


I went from Sparrow to Mailbox to Airmail. Sparrow was the best for its time. Mailbox had potential but was riddled with bugs. Airmail doesn't have the cleanest interface nor all the coolest features, but it's the best option I've found at the moment. For iOS I am still using Mailbox, but I guess now I have to use something else, will probably give the Gmail client a go.

One OSX client I've just found that I'm hoping does what I need: https://nylas.com/N1 It's open source.


The AirMail UI needs work but I use it for its support of Markdown - one of the areas that really needs polishing.


Looks great. A heads up though. On your discover page under the 'process' section, the design guideline link goes nowhere.


Thanks!! Let's fix this right now.


Changed! Thanks for the heads up.


You should probably add HTTPS too, especially for the account login page. Since you are using CloudFlare you can add it for free and this is best practice.


Noted and 100% agree with you. We'd go for Comodo most probably but we'll have a look at cloudflare too!


Let's Encrypt launched; you can get free 90-day certificates automatically: https://letsencrypt.org/


In the article is states:

"The company is also profitable, and it has been since about a year after the site launched."


I thought it would be at the $9.99 price point, like Sparrow was. I am surprised by it being $20, but I understand given the limitations and will purchase it.

What happens to the tokens when people pirate this app? Does it count towards their limit?


> What happens to the tokens when people pirate this app? Does it count towards their limit?

Yeah. There's no way for Twitter to tell them apart.


How I would think that it should work is the client downloads your token when you register the software. If you decide to share your license, the more people who use your token, the more likely that token will hit the 1,000 per day / 350 requests per hour limit on the twitter API. If you were to post your registration info on a sharing site you could effectively make that token useless for you and everybody else who was trying to use it.

If somebody figures out how to trick the registration to get free API tokens on the other hand, that would be really bad for the company.


"What happens to the tokens when people pirate this app? Does it count towards their limit?"

Almost definitely.


I really like Foundation based on the same points you raised.

It does support IE8, minus the responsive stuff, it's < IE8 that it doesn't (http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/support.php), and that's a deal breaker for me and why I've never used it since most of the sites I build still get around 10-12% from IE7.

You could use the older version of Foundation, but that doesn't appeal to me either.


I use foundation at work. We have the rule that "make the site look fine in IE7", where it has to work but it doesn't have to be perfect.

You can use foundation 3.1 with the htc boxing fix [1] that fixes the grid problems with IE7.

I love use foundation over BS, since BS (to me atleast) is more of a UI decision, where you build your site from scratch with foundation).

In iTunes, when you're in the iTunes store, click on your email address in the top right corner to go into your account. Click the 'see all' for 'Purchase History' and then report a problem. If it's the last app you bought, click the button for it and then a link will display beside the price which you can click and fill out a form to ask for a refund.


Beware, however, that you can't do it often. I had a request for an expensive app refund denied because I had asked for (and been granted) a $0.99 app refund a few weeks earlier. So save it for when you need it.


I'm having the same issue so came here to search.

Downloaded it twice and get the exact same error. Deleted and removed from trash the first time.

Edit Reboot your machine. That worked for me. I can now install fine with the same 'corrupt' file I had before.


I found an Apple Support thread where some others are reporting the same issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15660833#15660833

I posted my md5's of the internal .dmg's from the download there. They're different from the two unsuccessful downloads but I suspect that's just App Store watermarking because they differ in so many places. Maybe someone here on HN knows the real story though.


Nope, no watermarking. My third download worked and I got an InstallESD.dmg md5 of b5d3753c62bfb69866e94dca9336a44a. Googling for that it seems to match what the torrent sites are serving up for the Gold Master build.

It's odd that I had two failed downloads in a row... Either an app store bug or this MBP is maybe having memory issues or something. It's odd because I haven't had any issues like that before, and I tax it quite a bit.

Or maybe this was just Apple's way of making me rationalize a MacBook Air purchase :-)


Reboot didn't help for me, unfortunately. Still failed out with the same error after a minute or so.
