Sparrow is a minimalist mail application designed to keep things simple and efficient.

Random annoying crashes on 10.8 for me.

@Lucas Cimino: Retina display & 10.8 support were added in version 1.6.2, released on July 2nd. Might want to check to make sure you have 1.6.2 installed.

Nope, Sparrow having some issues with 10.8 Mountain Lion.

- Random emails not showing up
- Some conversations not working

etc…

Sparrow sometimes doesn't load on startup in my Mountain Lion when the 'reopen apps on restart' box is checked. Also resizes the window by itself after a restart to leave a gap at the bottom of the screen (after green maximise box was clicked, doc is on the left).

I have noticed a high CPU usage with OS X 10.8.1, 25 to 75 percent. MacBook’s Pro fan keeps running with Sparrow active.

Currently, it's incompatible. There's a bug that cause draft message to delete themselves as you type. You can read and check mail but not write effectively.

Changes to Lion have made it usable again, but all the behavior is not predictable.

My version of sparrow still works, but sadly on the right side it constantly shows the scrollbar instead of removing it. It has the little indent that is for the scrollbar area even when I have scrolling on auto-hide.

I have a problem in that if I leave the Sparrow (1.3.1) window open for a time, the close gadget becomes non-functional. You have to move the window by dragging it somewhere before it becomes active again.
