Fool me once ... Sparrow went in the trash the day Google bought it.

And now it has reappeared after two months: http://blog.sparrowmailapp.com/post/14164562667/sparrowlite15 "Sparrow Lite is now full-featured. 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."
