    Was just wondering if which are the majority of the users currently using? I know Sparrow does not have native push notification, so that might be a relatively huge setback for most users. Other than that, it's one of the best mail alternative app out there. Anyone on iOS 6 prefers Sparrow instead of the mail app? (App has not been updated to support iOS 6 & iPhone 5 though)

    Sparrow is a nice mail app. When I was jailbroken I had it set to be the default mail app and had push notifications working. I have to admit I liked it very much. Only drawback was the drain on battery due to how notifications were handled.

    I wouldn't hold your breath for an ios6 update. Since Sparrow has been bought by Google the word is they will not be updating their app any longer.
