General IMAP support, multi-account, unified inbox, CloudApp, Dropbox, Send and Archive, extended sidebar… it’s all there.
The only difference with the paid version is that Sparrow Lite is ad-supported and will include a Sent with Sparrow signature in all your outgoing mails.
You can now get the full taste of Sparrow before deciding to get the real deal.

Sparrow 1.4.1 is live
It took a while but Apple finally let it out.
Sparrow 1.4.1 is here with much awaited bug fixes. This new version fixes the following issues:
- Growl 1.3 support
- iCloud Support
- Mail ordering
- Quick reply all
- Encoding issue
- Quick Look in full screen mode
- Keychain issue
- Various crash & bugs
Some of you might still experience issues with iCloud despite the update.
Apple is using a custom authentication system for some iCloud accounts and they haven’t shared the details of it with us yet. This explains why it could not work as expected and require you to follow this workaround.
Check for update in the Mac AppStore

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.

The lonesome death of attachments
Sparrow 1.4 is a special release for us. We took the time to improve our little bird both in terms of UI and performance. You should notice right away that Sparrow is now faster than ever.
It’s also been a while we wanted to integrate CloudApp. We use it daily at Sparrow and we thought it would make a lot of sense to get it into Sparrow.
A video is worth a thousand words so have a look below to see how it can make you more efficient and introduce a little magic in your mail experience:
All you have to do is activate the option in Sparrow Preferences and attachments should never be a problem again.
Of course, that’s not all. We also added:
- A reversed thread ordering like in Gmail (older messages on top)
- Pull-to-refresh
and we have made some improvement on the UI:
- Default image in conversation view when no message or multiple message are selected
- Window resize issue
- Default compose window size
- Message list default size is kept when modifying the sidebar state
- Sidebar animations when showing / hiding
- Default minimal size of windows
Important changes were also made under the hood, with a brand new draft management system which makes Sparrow:
- Send mail faster
- Behave better with bad network/ offline behavior
- Synchronize faster
Bug fixes:
- Zoho compatibility
- Lotus Domino compatibility
- Free compatibility
- Dovecot server
- Crash on Send & Archive and various crashes
- Animation bug when unminimizing Sparrow from the Menu bar icon
- Hanging issue on Lion
- Erased space in signature
- ‘Not Spam’ option in the Spam folder
Open the Mac App Store to update your Sparrow and make the most of this new features or simply check for update.
If you haven’t Sparrow already, you can get it here.
