1098 Gmail Browser is a web browser that is dedicated to running Gmail (and Google calendar). Why? Well, for me, reading email is usually a work activity, while web browsing is mostly play. And so, when I check my email, I easily get distracted by other web sites. Separating Gmail from the rest of the internet helps me concentrate.

The enhancements are:
• Correct handling of adding and downloading attachments
• Handles 'mailto' links
• Printing works
• 'Delete all spam' button works
• Support for other Google URLs (e.g. Google Apps For your Domain)
• Nice-ish icon

To set Gmail Browser as the default Mail application, first run Apple's Mail.app. In the Mail.app preferences (menu Mail->Preferences), the 'General' preference pane allows you to select a new default email program. Browse and select Gmail Browser from the Applications folder.

Gmail Browser is based on WebKit, just like Safari. As a result, some features of Gmail (e.g. rich-text email composition) as well as Google Docs and Spreadsheets, are not available in Gmail Browser. If you want these features, you can try the following:
