I wanted to publicise a feature request that I think is a good one -
Ruben suggested that I post it here to see if it gets any traction -
so thanks to him.
My feature idea is for a Quit menu item at the bottom of the MenuBar
item - to me it just seems to be missing - I know pure laziness on my
part - but it's such along way round opening the main window just to
be able to quit the App, it's even further going all the way down to
the dock icon and selecting quit from there....
Just wanted to see if we can persuade Ruben to get it pencilled in for
an upcoming release - you thoughts please
Not sure I see any point. If Mailplane has focus, just use ⌘-Q to
quit. If it isn't, use ⌘-TAB until you highlight the Mailplane icon,
keep holding down ⌘ and press Q - Mailplane closes.

With respect – I know how to quit apps, been using the Mac 20+ years,
lol - heavens can it really be that long....
Partly its consistency with my other Menu Bar Apps, Dropbox and
DeskShade – in my case, both offer this ability.
Additionally when using trackpad / mouse the ability to not have to
use the keyboard per se would be useful - quicker too, as when
Mailplane doesn't have focus the menu bar notification is the focus.
Appreciate your thoughts...
Best
Bruce

Though I work this exact way myself, I don't see any harm in having
the additional option in the menu item. Everyone works a little
differently, and having it could be more efficient for one user over
the method described in Bruce's reply.
Looking at the several menu extra items running in my menu bar, the
standard for those made available by a "foreground" app seem to be to
have a Quit menu item.
