It hasn’t been long since I mentioned Sparrow, the new iPad/Twitter-inspired mail client for the Mac. Now beta 5 is out and I thought it was worth mentioning for their rather nice looking implementation of gmail labels.

I’ve stopped using folders, or labels as Google calls them, for my personal mail because Google’s search function is good enough for me to find any mail within a few seconds, but if you’re into sorting your mail the new beta of Sparrow might be just the thing.

One thing I want to note is that if you use multiple labels on the same mail, it only gets the colour of the first label. Might be a turn-off to some.
