Something about Sparrow just doesn't feel right. I can't quite put my finger on it but...well I think that's just it. Last I tried Sparrow it felt like I was using an iOS app within the iOS Simulator.

I did like the simple feel of it though and would be willing to buy it for anything less than $14 NZD.

No search box?

It's buried in the menus though.

Buried in the menus? Not in my copy, just in the right top corner. It doesn't work flawless, but it's definitely not hard to find.

Right, if you have Show Preview panel open.

Some elements depend on the size of your window, which, frankly, I like. I remarked on this because others have found the search not to be where they expect.
