Gary -- your channel is AMAZING. The practical know-how you provide us is "spot on". Keep up the great work. Apple should be paying you as you do an exponentially better job than Apple's own support TH-cam channel.
I don't know how Gary adds value to even the most obvious things that I didn't think I could learn from. Next up: "15 tips for hitting the enter key on your Mac"
Hi Gary, I've been a Windows / Microsoft Office user for years (and still learning how to navigate parts of it). Bought my first Mac Book with some trepidation but I've had Apple iPhones and iPads, iPods etc. and appreciate the Eco System. Your videos have sold me and highly enlightened me that I made a very good choice. I still have to use the other for business as it is issued to me but it just reinforces what I've been missing. I am a subscriber and I watch as many of your presentations as I can. Thank you for your teachings. I know it demands a lot of time and effort to produce what you do. Our community is blessed to have your expertise. I have recommended your channel to many of my friends that are Mac users too. Thank you so much!
As an aside: I've been a Commercial Pilot / Corporate Pilot for 47 years. You would make a great flight instructor / check airman . We train every 6 months in the simulator and the C/A always creates a situation we aren't familiar with or should know. You're "That Guy". That's a compliment. Blue skies!
I have NEVER known how to Reply and keep the attachment. When I finally searched on TH-cam, got this channel and found out how!!! And as I watched the video, learned a lot more. Terrific!!!
Really useful tips. I’ve used different signatures for years but didn’t know about the other ones. One of the frustrations with all that quoted text included is that the threads get very long if there’s multiple recipients and it’s hard to find which person you want to address. Also Mail doesn’t filter out the advertising stuff as well as gmail does.
Great video. Do you have any suggestions for someone who has their contacts completely out of sync between gmail and apple? Every time I try to organize my contacts I cause myself headaches. Right now most are in gmail, but would like to transition to apple.
Just strive to keep them in one place, not some in one and some in another. Move them all now, then turn off "contacts" for the Google account on your devices.
Many thanks Gary, and kind of you to add the timecode, useful- Since i follow your videos i notice a positive productivity improvement in my Mac use. Have a nice day
Well timed Gray! Seriously thinking of switching from Gmail to Apple Mail as my primary email client. Seems there's better privacy (ie: Apple Mail "filters out" those tracking pixels) and better functionality with things like hide my email and markup. Thanks for the tips. Looking forward to more as I make the switch.
Great video, Gary! I've been using the Mac since around 1985, I must admit I'm a bit surprised to learn something about an application so simple as Mail! Thanks for all your great tips!
Gary, great job with this video. This was 100% review for me but I don't mind. Great way to recall these tips/tricks and use them. I guess 2 plus years ago now I ditched another email app for the Apple mail app. I have not regretted the decision at all.
Reasons to prefer Apple Mail over of MS Outlook or Thunderbird? I could finally connect my Google Accounts with Apple Mail. I‘d been using Brave browser and looks like that give me problems (just for this). So, based on what I read somewhere, I closed all the browsers and set up SAFARI as my default browser. I open the Mail > Add Account > Select Google, and I got the Google window to continue the registration. Calendars are still something mysterious for me...
I have to use gmail for work but I hate the way it adds replies at the bottom of threads so I can't see what I'm replying to - insane. Can I add a gmail account to the Mac Mail app?
Gary, is there a video about the which is better, portable external drive for photo an music on MacBook Pro? HHD or SSD? I’m so confused an I want to take my photos an videos an music off my old MacBook Air to my new MacBook Pro but only when I need it not all the time. Should I get two different ones?? Please help. Thanks. Ang.
Always great info, Gary. I look forward to my daily tips and tricks from you. One question, can you request a read response and, if so, how do you do that? Thanks!
Is there a way to automatically place the insertion of my reply BELOW the selected text but ABOVE my signature? Several years ago there was an add-on that enabled it, but it no longer works. Today I simply move the cursor, as you demonstrate at 2:29, but it would help to skip that step.
Thanks for such brilliant and helpful videos! One question about signatures, if I may...Many emails I receive, contain signatures that include icons/images and Mail treats each of these as attachments (even though gmail doesn't). This makes it impossible to tell easily if the email contains an actual attachment that I need to read/action. I realise this can be changed if the sender modifies their email signature, but that isn't an option. Also, if I use Outlook, these icons never show up as attachments. Hoping you might have a solution...? Thanks again, for your informative videos.
I know your pain. Unfortunately, if the sender includes an attachment, it will show up as an attachment. I always encourage people to NOT use images in their signatures for this reason.
Thanks for the tips! I wonder if there is a way to reply to an email with a selected quote without having the part that says "on date/time/sender name/ wrote:"...
Hi Gary, is there any difference between the trash, reply, reply all, and forward buttons that are in the top toolbar and the one that pops up when you hover over the top of the email?
They all do the same thing, if that is what you mean. It is common to be able to access functions from several places. You can get to all of these in the Menu Bar too.
Hi Gary, excellent video as usual. I have a question though, I received an e mail with a form embedded in it for me to fill in, however when I reply, the reply has unformatted the embedded form/table. It looks like it has deconstructed the table and all the info for the table is spread out throughout the reply message. Is there a way to keep the original formatting when I reply?
Hard for me to say without seeing it. It would be a bad idea to try to embed a form (I assume HTML) into an email message. A mistake on the sender's part. Why not ask them for support with it since they are the ones who came up with it.
@@macmost The Music app but specifically adding and editing playlists, albums, libraries, and using the HomePod with Music (including SharePlay and AirPlay), and how to use the MiniPlayer.
But this will mess up their or mine conversation view, won’t it? I must start using mac mail, but gos knows Spark conversation view is just unbeatable.
Not sure I understand. Why would anything I'm showing here mess up conversations? It would probably improve them quite a bit with better replies and such.
Gmail is a service. Mail is an app. You can use Gmail in Mail like you can use any other service (Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, company server, school server, etc). All of these have a web-based interface, which is probably what you are using, right?
@@tuberobotloco If you like viewing your Gmail in a browser, no reason to change. But for others they like seeing all of their email together in one place if they have other accounts too.
Depends on how the sender is reading their email. I certainly don't see the original message when I get a reply. There are many different apps on many different devices and all with their own customizable viewing options. Plus, if someone sends you a 10-paragraph email and you are responding to one question in the middle of all of that, then quoting that one sentence will make it clear what you saying.
Great tutorial as usual Gary but could I ask how to attach something which won’t be embedded in the text area please? I have to send some photo ID for a job but when it’s embedded in the text area the recipient can’t download it in a legible form. Thanks in advance.
It shouldn't matter. An attachment is an attachment. Sounds like they don't know how to download it. You can always zip it up and send them the zip. Or put it in iCloud Drive (or another cloud service) and send them a link instead.
@@macmost Thank you for your reply. You are most probably correct with your assumption. I will persevere with one of your alternative suggestions. Keep up the good work you are doing to help all us ‘newbies’
In the subject line I get a small annoying dark gray box the word "To" in it. I never used to get this, I updated to Monterey and it went away, now it's back. Does anyone know what it is and what it's for. I cannot find anything online about it.
There are way too many scam emails today. I wish there was a better way to screen out spam and phishing emails. If phone compaanies can screen the majority of scam phone calls why can't email providers do a better job of screening emails.
Spam filtering depends largely on your email provider. ISPs and cheap free providers do a poor job. I find Apple and Google do a much better job, probably because they actually care, and also because they have a huge volume of data to help.
So, that Map is not from Google, right? Is that Apple Maps or what? I thought only Google was able to build the only one complete map of all the world.

Great video as always!! Can you talk about the signature option in the emails. I have change mine and still showing the wrong signature.
See th-cam.com/video/VDWS22vahH0/w-d-xo.html
From my perspective: a couple of real gems there. I nearly didn't watch this video, but I'm glad I did. :-)
All the best.

Always great info, Gary. I look forward to my daily tips and tricks from you. One question, can you request a read response and, if so, how do you do that? Thanks!
Not without using some special email system. And even then it is easy for the recipient to have things set so it doesn't work.

No, but once you start the reply you can select it and delete it if there is a problem in a particular situation.
@@macmost Thanks for the quick reply. I'll dig deeper or keep doing it the way you describe.
Hi Gary, is there a function that allows me to have Mail always include the attachment when replying/forwarding an email? Thank you
Yes. Look at Edit, Include Attachments With Replies.
Hi Gary, is there any difference between the trash, reply, reply all, and forward buttons that are in the top toolbar and the one that pops up when you hover over the top of the email?

As for the quoting on reply - is it really necessary? The sender will see your replay over original message anyway.
