While Apple do a stellar job of promoting their hardware, they are not good at making you aware of what their software can do. This video did a great job of showing me that Mail isn't as bare-bones as it seems.
I retired a few months ago and had already decided to ditch all things Microsoft in benefit of Apple hardware and software (my work obliged me to use Microsoft’s software as a corporate policy). I’s been a pleasure to see how everything is integrated and works seamlessly, being able to start with my IPhone or IPad and finish on my Mac with absolutely no hindrances. Nothing is perfect of course, and we all experience glitches sometimes, but what a difference. And, better than, apps come free. It was a great decision to embrace the whole Apple environment.
Me too! what a relief it is to now only rarely have to use MS poor quality OS/software. It took me a while to switch to MAC, but now, I would never go back. I've been using Linux for years at home anyway, so MAC is very similar logically, if a lot more polished.
This is the video I never knew I needed! I have been relying so much on the apple mail app lately. I have bounced around from app to app. This is the best, love watching your videos! Keep up the great work!
Most tech-tubers focus on spreading rumours and speculation about Apple products that might come someday. I focus on the existing OS versions and how to use the apps effectively and don't watch these other videos anymore. I really enjoyed your video and even though I have been using Apple and macOS since 2004, I still learned a few interesting things about Apple Mail. Thanks for that. Keep up the good work.
I think as we get older we appreciate simplicity one of the reasons I love Apple mail is that it is powerful but all simple and that is a hard thing to do. I really appreciate this video I learned a ton. Keep making cool Apple mail videos bro ❤❤❤
Fantastic as always! As someone deeply integrated into all things Apple, these little videos go a long way in making tons of improvements in my everyday life. Keep it up!
Thanks Peter for taking the time to share. Love your manner and presentation, ands clear on what can be done to simplify. Are you planning to update for MacOS Sequoia?
Can you set attachments as attached file like in gmail rather than have full screen mode? Same on iphone? Also why attachments are scatered around between mail text rather than be moved up above email like in gmail? Right now it look super messy
Thank you! I had something happen a few years ago that scared me from using mail where it seemed like it was locally storing all of my emails and taking up precious hardware space. How do we prevent that?
This is super helpful. Do you have any tips on how to clean up email boxes that have thousands of emails? I have so many emails from marketers and it drives me crazy. I'm overwhelmed and I'm missing important emails because my inbox is being flooded with emails that are not relevant. I need to find a way to keep the inbox clean. Sometimes I get frustrated and sort by From and then delete hundreds of emails but that is a manual process and eventually it gets backed up again. Thanks!
I’m in the same situation…it’s so discouraging. I honestly don’t think there is any hope for me, I have over 100,000 emails sitting in my inbox, I don’t see a solution except for - leaving it as is and doing searches when looking for a specific email.
I really appreciate this information. Thanks! But I am unable to use the "scan document" feature in new outgoing mail. The options are grayed out except for "photos". Any suggestions?
I have a client who wants to use Apple Mail - and though I am a Mac user - I have never used Apple Mail in a work setting. This info is amazing! Thanks so much. Now I feel ready to confidently say I can use it for my executive.
Peter, another excellent video. One thing you do that I find meaningful is that you make a list of topics you will cover during the video and you show it. It suggests you thought it was worth your time and effort to do some preparation work on behalf of the viewers. - - - I watch a lot of similar videos. Many times the presenter just seems to randomly move from subject to subject with no apparent forethought.
Very good video, mail is a very complete app, i really don't need a third party app for the use i have and with this tips i can be more productive, thanks!
Great video but I want to know how I can set a limit on how many emails you receive! so you can stop filling up your inbox and ending up with 1000s of unread msgs!😩
Hey man. Thank you for this. Long time apple user here and you provided tips I never knew about. Question for you - one critical thing I WISH apple mail had was the ability to synch smart filters with iOS. Are you aware if this is a feature coming to the new Mac OS Sonoma and IOS 17? Thank you again!
Very informative video, many thanks Peter. Just one question: do you know if it's possible to apply signatures only to an initial message and not on subsequent thread (like Outlook)?
Hi Peter- Trying to start using apple mail. a question: I do not have Flags in the side bar. I have looked online and cannot find how to add it. Can you help!!?? Thank for the helpful video!
I’ve been a Mail user for years and I didn’t know about many of these tips and tricks. Thanks so much. One of the annoyances is that when using Mail on the iPad it’s a three step process to delete unwanted or read emails. Apple needs to find a better way.
Great video Peter!! Very informative. I had no idea that we could initiate a scan from the email client in conjunction with an iPhone! Wow. Anyway, I found that the phone needs to be unlocked or the scanning and other options with the exception of “photos” will be grayed out. Thanks again!
I really liked this video! Since you asked for suggestions: I would love to see a video (or a series) where you showcase your entire digital setup (i.e. all your productivity apps).
Thank you so much! Very helpful! How I wish Apple would just change some (minor) things. Proper attachment view in the bottom bar or something, no inline attachments of images and colored icons / sender avatars in the mail list.
Brand new to Apple and really appreciated these tips! None of these options were clear to me by just using the app. Is there any way to delay the send, so I can cancel if I made a mistake?
question to all users, if I want to send an email back to the sender, how do I increase the text in the window to make it bigger on the screen? I don't see small letters and I don't know how to increase/zoom the whole text. Thx for your help.
I really miss the pretty “Stationery” feature that Mac mail used to have. I also have a question- is it possible to add check boxes in an email. I’d like to add them for quick feed back from my contacts. They could just check their answer and hit reply. I have not come across a way to do this.
Hi Peter! Thank you so much for this video! It really helped! ***I would likeo to ask that you make a tutorial about the Apple Calendar app, the Apple Mail app AND the Reminders app integration when they come out this fall. Your consideration is much appreciated!! -Ian
I have an issue w/Apple Mail on my iPad. It doesn’t seem to have the features that you and other TH-camrs seem to have, like filters, flags, sort, and so many features I just can’t find in my program!! I’m attaching a picture of my open program showing how limited my options are. If you can help me I would be so grateful!!!! Thanks!!!!!
Very good video thanks one question : once you get a calendar invitation there is an accept option yes and when you click it says reply sent ok but it does not add to your calendar automatically you need to click the bottom of the page to download than click on the download and save to the calendar … is there any other way or easier way? Thanks pretty annoying
Hello, good tips, thank you. Unfortunately there is no multi criteria search in mail. This is a big missing feature. I want to search for words in the mail content for mails between dates, sent by someone ...
@dontgiveinfo Yep!! The same thing happens to me! it’s so annoying AF! it’s part of the reason I gave up and let my inbox get out of control, I’m not gunna spend hours on cleaning and organizing mail with folders and rules etc etc when one of the main things I need to do is Delete send to trash and have them just to reappear! Ugh talk about carousel 🎠

Super explainer here Peter! 👀

Great content! And I really like the "short and precise" presentation without lengthy talking around.
This is the video I never knew I needed! I have been relying so much on the apple mail app lately. I have bounced around from app to app. This is the best, love watching your videos! Keep up the great work!
Which apps have you used and why you got back to apple mail?

I bought your Todoist course. It is amazing. Can you also please do a course on Apple mail (not Gmail) and Google calender?
great video! Very informative. Thank you so much, Peter!

Great tips to improve my mail routines - Thx a lot
Im looking for a way to use mail merge with pages, contacts / numbers and directly email through the mail app.
all but especially „hide my email“ and „scan document“ are very good tipps from you, Peter. Bedankt!!!
all your videos are extremely informative and very fun to watch. Love your style!
Thank you so much for sharing that Gerasimos. That means a lot!
Dude - this was the best quick overview of Apple mail that I've found - fantastic!! Many thanks...

Great vid! Ty big times! If my Mac is off or closed, sure saying the Send Later option won't work?
Love ❤️ your work. Can you talk about Apple mail email 📧 templates and how to use them.
So great! This helps me avoid shifting to the third-party emails.
Great tips. I’ve been badmouthing the search function, so I’ll have to give it another try.
Thank you! I had something happen a few years ago that scared me from using mail where it seemed like it was locally storing all of my emails and taking up precious hardware space. How do we prevent that?
Renaming the flag colors is a great idea! Not sure why I didn't think of this before... Thanks!
I know -I didn't know you could to that!

Block them or use HEY.com for your email

Thanks. These are some of best tips for mail that I've seen. I already incorporated the VIP and notifications.
Great video very helpful tips. Learned a few things I didn’t know.
I have a client who wants to use Apple Mail - and though I am a Mac user - I have never used Apple Mail in a work setting. This info is amazing! Thanks so much. Now I feel ready to confidently say I can use it for my executive.
Love it!
The Document San feature was great!! Thanks for sharing.
Great video - lots of tips that I was unaware of. Thanks!
X-O-LENT vid!! I especially like the iPhone scanner interface feature!!

A brilliant video thanks for the information. I have started using mail app instead of outlook thanks to you!
As I'm new to MacOS it was Great Tips & Features 🙏
I found it awesome.
👍🏼
Hi Peter,
Great video! I always get a ton of valuable tips from your videos.
A quick question: what is that Mac wallpaper? It looks really good.
Thanks Ole! Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the wallpaper at the moment.
Great video but I want to know how I can set a limit on how many emails you receive! so you can stop filling up your inbox and ending up with 1000s of unread msgs!😩

Hello Sir.
Can we send a new email directly to a specific folder, without going to the “All Inboxes”? Thank you.
Awesome thanks. Used Spark, switched to default app, free, fast and all what I need.
Excellent! great tips. Thanks
Can you make folders to same old emails ?
Very useful - thank you
Some helpful tips here. Thank you!
I really liked this video!
Since you asked for suggestions: I would love to see a video (or a series) where you showcase your entire digital setup (i.e. all your productivity apps).
great! Thank you so much! I am new to Apple and this video helped me a lot. 🙂
Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. I learned a lot
Another great video. I'd love to see a vide on cleaning up contacts on Mac/iPhone.
Thank you so much! Very helpful!
How I wish Apple would just change some (minor) things. Proper attachment view in the bottom bar or something, no inline attachments of images and colored icons / sender avatars in the mail list.
can I create an automation which forwards emails i get from a specific contact?
No third party apps needed!! Gracias Señor.
Incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much! This was proiceless. I am changing over (trying to) for Gmail and am thrilled to get the help!
Good quality Content and very professional person, have fun clarity
Really useful although I have some personal stuff on Mail I use outlook for business but sometimes think it would be better to use apple mail
Thank you, great stuff!
Brand new to Apple and really appreciated these tips! None of these options were clear to me by just using the app. Is there any way to delay the send, so I can cancel if I made a mistake?
Yeah it’s called Undo Send. It’s probably on for you already. Look at the bottom of the sidebar right after you send an email
Very interesting ! Looking forward for such a video about Mail iPadOS. Bedankt Peter!
question to all users, if I want to send an email back to the sender, how do I increase the text in the window to make it bigger on the screen? I don't see small letters and I don't know how to increase/zoom the whole text. Thx for your help.
Great Video!
Really good video. Always wanted to try and make the most out of Apple Mail but never knew how until now :-)
Very helpful, liking your channel content!

Great video learned so much!!
What mic is that? It sounds great.
Thank you. It's a Rode NT-USB mini. It's a great mic, but I do recommend using a pop filter with it.

Hey Yiğit. I don't know off the top of my head but will try to remember to take a look next time I receive a calendar invitation.
Geweldige video, ik gebruik Apple mail al jaren, maar heb toch een paar hele nuttige dingen geleerd. Limit notifications bijvoorbeeld. Dank je wel.
Bedankt voor je berichtje!
These video really helpful.
Wow, this video was extremely useful. Didn't know many features until now. Thank you!
Still can't easily use HMTL signature though :(
Hello, good tips, thank you. Unfortunately there is no multi criteria search in mail. This is a big missing feature. I want to search for words in the mail content for mails between dates, sent by someone ...
Yes. For some reason when i erase a large chunk of email to the trash. They reappear again. They won't erase? what gives??
