If you dig Mailplane and have an iPhone, check out Mailroom: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mailroom/id355023563
We've been inspired by (and are also addicts of Mailplane) but hated Mail.app, so we started enhancing Gmail's Mobile UI.

One of the issues that I've had personally is that I can't search across multiple inboxes. Maybe using some of Remail's guts we can figure out how to make that work.
the entire feature process is similar to mailplane though: we look at mobile gmail and say "how could we take whats already there and make it beter" or "what's missing and how can we add it"?
Big upcoming features include things like HTML email reading and the ability to add attachments, both major features missing from Gmail Mobile.
first launch open the "Add account" window instantly
username = email address?
one account = change view to the client inbox rather than the "accounts" view?
The "address book" button doesn't work: says I need to be composing an email in order to add a recipient - despite being on the compose screen
thought about offering push notification for $n/month? I'd pay $1/month for it.
you need a website to pitch mailroom to users :)
As far as push goes, I talk about it here:
http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2010/02/mailroom-gmail-on-the-...
but the gist is this:
In order to accurately update badge icons over push, we’d need to store email addresses and passwords on a server somewhere, and that’s a security risk that we can’t figure out how to justify. I know I wouldn’t want that info out there, and I have to imagine that our users wouldn’t like it either.
We're hoping to find a more elegant way to do badge counts over push, but in the mean time, aren't offering it. Suggestions welcome.
And that website's launching this week to answer a lot of these questions, solicit feedback, and share some of the totally awesome testimonials from the userbase so far.
