Thank you was conflicted what to use mostly between outlook or gmail ahter this video il give gmail a shot cause it seels in privacy featuerzs seems cause the current apple mail personallybut won close my door on it il wait when the new version comes out and see
Great video! But I think you’ve got the "fetch" feature wrong. In mail settings, when you have the "push" option enabled, your mail server will notify the mail app of new emails instantly, allowing for immediate refresh. The only exception is when your device is in battery-saving mode, which temporarily disables this feature, even if "push" is turned on. Keep up the awesome work!
You shouldn’t turn focused inbox off. You should train it by selecting to always move certain emails to focused if wanted. It will then work better and better with time
Based on the new Apple email app for iOS 18 can you revisit and give us an update on its functionality and if it now is worth sticking with instead of Gmail.
I use Apple Mail but now Outlook will no longer let Apple Mail connect sighting security reasons but really I think it's because Apple Mail was filtering the adds. So now I'm having to go on-line to get my Outlook mail which always has adds in the in-box and running on the side... So far I haven't found a way around it.
Did I notice some bias here? Gmail doesn’t even have a desktop client of their own. Apple on iOS DO have the same colors as the Gmail apps have when swiping but that you just bypassed. Not a fair comparison
Regarding specifically the desktop app aspect, Gmail not having an option is negated by the fact that 1) gmail is readily available on all OSes in web form, whereas Apple’s mail is primarily used only on Apple devices. Add the fact that both macOS and Windows provide features that let you turn websites into web apps and allow websites to send notifications, the experience is close enough where it counts. Ofc use whatever works with you (this is coming from an Apple fanboy)
@@happybroski2112 Usually companies want to control the experience for mail users. If that wasn’t the case Google wouldn’t even have bothered with an iOS app for Gmail. Google generally doesn’t provide ANY desktop apps at all. They think it should all be done in the browser on desktop. This might be an effect of them wanting to drive everyone to the browser for everything to simulate Chromebooks on all computer platforms and save on development cost too. On mobile the Google apps are basically web apps too
Excellent breakdown and analysis John! Easy to follow and very enjoyable review thank you so much for this. I too am long time exclusive Apple user but very frustrated with the Mail app. But will check out the new Apple Mail app when it is released. For now I use Gmail. Thanks again! Peace! Be well. ✌🏽🕊️🌅
I prefer the simplicity of Apple mail. I don’t like the inability to use shared mailboxes for work with exchange accounts and the lack of a professional Apple mail service. Here the outlook client shine bright and Gmail is a hot mess as usual. I don’t like gui one bit.
This is a common problem , delete your mail account and log in again using exchange option . Also quit mail and restart before logging in . You may log in outlook in you browser and log off . Haven’t found a reason or logic behind all this but best of luck .
It is automatic, but it is not instant as emails come through. The shortest time frame is every 15 minutes. When the setting is set to “Automatic” it seems to be roughly every 30 min to an hour for me so I switched it back to 15 minutes to help speed it up.
I just sent an email and it came within 2 seconds of the time I received it on Gmail. Think that information is incorrect. It doesn’t make sense to have a automatic timer that’s the same as a time schedule?
@@themasonera In addition to it coming periodically, every time you open the mail app it will fetch the information. So if you have the mail app closed you will notice you won’t get notified until either 15 minutes passed or if you open the app.
The Gmail app is annoying. I recently switched to Android and i have to go back to my iPad to review my email again. I find the Gmail app stupid, and confusing.
This is the most ridiculous comparison. I've stopped at number 2. Gmail has the worst UX/UI not only in comparison to the other two apps in this video, but to every known app oit their. First 2 points should clearly go to Outlook and 0 for gmail. So funny that because it has themes, you gave it more point that Apple!
What email app do you use??

I use gmail as my email provider and client, but when I got a MacBook, I switched to Apple Mail because of the ads they put between your mails

Yeah that’s a good point. I definitely should try that and see if it works better for me.

Also each client works best with their own service behind them. Just saying.

Gmail on my iPhone doesn’t download attachments right away. It takes a while. While the other two are instant
I just wish apple mail had snooze ,i love how it works but I’m a person who needs inbox zero ,the reminder me on apple mail is absolutely nonsense

Given you're a Gmail user you seem a little biased toward it
Such amazing content…Thank you!!
Thanks for the video!
Doesn’t Gmail have ads in their email and client?
my outlook are constantly asking for passwords on my MacBook
why? change password then
If you're using GMail or Icloud mail, you need to generate an app password for each.
This is a common problem , delete your mail account and log in again using exchange option . Also quit mail and restart before logging in . You may log in outlook in you browser and log off .

Fetch is automatic, what is this information?
