Looks really nice! Long time Sparrow fan and it'd be sweet to have a familiar experience on my Windows box too. Seems like they're developing a bunch of stuff on top of what Sparrow has too which opens up new possibilities of an email-orientated app store. Worth supporting on Kickstarter to help make it happen, plus get a license back which you'll end up buying anyway if this interests you.
Unfortunately since Sparrow was acquired by Google [1] they are no longer working on Sparrow.
I still use Sparrow and have zero problems with it, though for some reason I still keep my eye out for new apps to replace it.. I think I just enjoy playing with new features, heh.
There's also the similarly named MailPilot.[2] They're apparently planning on making native apps for every platform. There's currently a public beta for their web app, though there is no free trial; you have to pre-order a year's service (at $60) to gain access, which is a little steep in my opinion!
I am really looking forward this clean desktop email software! this current one available for windows are so boring and time consuming! Hope Mailbird will change that!
