Keep it minimal
In Sparrow 1.2, we added a lot of new features but also made sure that hard core minimalists and shortcuts lovers could keep a streamlined Sparrow.
Here is how to keep it minimal:
Go into Sparrow Preferences and you’ll have all the option you need:
- ‘Hide pictures’ will allow you to hide avatars in the message list
- We’ve added an option to ‘hide the selection bar in the inbox’
- You can also hide the unified inbox avatar if you like
Mark as Read/Unread
In Sparrow, you can mark a mail as unread by:
- Right-clicking on a message and selecting ‘Mark as unread’
- Use the ⇧-⌘-U shortcuts
- Or simply clicking on the blue dot
