good videos. disappointed google was used as an example considering they abuse and spit on your privacy. other than that keep the videos coming!

Apple needs to do more to help screen obvious phishing attempts.

I’m using a macbook and iphone honestly i prefer outlook it has best UI and better experience apple need to improve mail app on ios 16 and next macos version I’m disappointed

It would be really great to add some up-to-date features like snooze, send later ect. into Apple/iOS mail. Now you nearly force your customers to use 3rd party apps.

Very nice video. If I add another account to my mail app, how do I navigate between the accounts?

[sacitizen]

Does not allow you to set up group email accounts so no typing all the names again.

Love these videos. I have 3 email accounts, and they are listed in the sidebar on the left. Within each account, various folders are listed, such as Inbox, Sent, Trash etc etc. If I remove these account folders from the sidebar, does that delete the accounts? Right now, if I wanna empty the trash, I have to go to the trash in each account and do that. I would prefer a clean sidebar with only one Inbox, one Sent and one Trash for all accounts. I welcome your suggestions. Thanks

Just to clarify, the On My Mac folders are not visible on iPhone/iPad? If I create folders on Mac, they will not be synced on my other devices? thx

Please do something similar with the word VoiceOver on the Mac

You didn’t show if or how different email providers were separated.
How are e mail provider’s separated?
Are i cloud memory charges applicable?

Quick question ⚡️at 2:27 in the video as you were typing the subject an emoji box appears - how did you get the emojis to appear❓❓❓I’m guessing some sort of shortcut❓🙏🙏🙏

Every example I see on the web shows google email account. What about Apple iCloud email account? When I click on iCloud, it takes me to system settings then doesn't tell me what to do next.

How about Other Mail Account ...? Since I bought a new MacBook I cannot connect to my existing Mail account to see and control incoming emails from clients ... I am using exactly the same details to connect it, but I am getting errors wrong password or email. Why that would be happening ...?
Thank you

im LITERALLY 16. everyone says i should know how to do this type of stuff. i literally dont understand how mail on mac works. if anyone is asking their teen to show them how to use mail and they say 'i dont know', ITS BECAUSE THEY DONT like this is so difficult

[bodobanali]

How can i cycle through all my open (but yet not sended) messages?
(Monterey)
In older versions it was possible with cmd+<
Like it works in Finder too.
But in Mail it does not work anymore … how can i achive that now?

[Krishnendulaha]

LOL. I'm new to Mac and funny how Apple shows how to add Gmail instead of iCloud mail 🤣

[sacitizen]

No email thread like Outlook. Need to improve the mail account needs to be simpler and easier

[ahmadnajmi]

Hey Apple, every time I try to add my gmail account on the mail app in the Mac, it keeps on loading and never show anything. I waited for 3 hours and still not showing anything. I’ve checked my wifi connection and its fine.

The music jingle playing behind the spoken instructions is a complete distraction from hearing the instructions and so unnecessary.

what's the difference between move to junk and move to trash, in the mail app?
