The Mail app on your iPhone is probably one of the less exciting apps you’ve got installed, but it’s actually very good, and much improved with some additions that came along in iOS16. I’ve never actually made a complete tutorial video for Mail for iPhone, so today I thought I’d change that. Stick with me, as I walk you step by step, in how to use and get the most out of Mail for iPhone. Just so you know, I’m running iOS16.2 as I make this video, do ensure that you’re running that version or newer, so you can do everything we discuss here.

A useful tip I use almost daily: You can two finger swipe down on emails (i.e. Junk) and tap each circle at the left or if selecting multiple, just slide a finger down the line of circles. VERY useful if you plan to add a bunch of junk emails to Blocked. Then you can Press and Hold on any of the selected emails, they will jiggle slightly then merge into a pile. Then select Block. Repeat press and Hold to Delete. Personally if I know they are spam/junk, I choose Delete and Report. I don't know if it actually helps, but can't hurt to try I suppose. This is also useful if you just want to move a huge pile of specific emails to a folder or do the same task to multiple emails at once.

Great video as always. Couple of other things I find handy, when composing an email you can swipe down and it sits at the bottom of the mail app, then you can read through emails to find content without having to save the email you are composing to drafts. Also when using the read / unread filter on a mailbox, you can click in the middle of the bottom bar and select further filter options.

I used Spark Mail for years, mainly because it was easy, and worked on android as well. When I switched back to iPhone, I kept it for a while, but the new pricing makes it unreasonable, so I looked for an alternative. The updates to the stock mail app has gotten really good compared to what I remember. The biggest reason why I chose to use the default mail app, is that it’s support of focus modes. I can have my work focus only show my work email accounts, and personal, etc.

I use the Mail app on my iPhone but not exclusively. I have two accounts, an iCloud and a Gmail (for work). I have an inbox zero system on Gmail that is not fully reproductible on the Mail app because of missing feature (multiple inboxes, labels, filters) so i keep the Gmail app on my phone also. If it could get the same features, i'd be more than happy to use exclusively the Mail app. It's simple, clean and intuitive.

Great, informative video as usual! I've used iPhone since 3GS, & I still learn from your vids. I used to shy away from the native apps, but I'm finding staying within the native apps can simplify life. Apple is slowly, but surely, bringing their native apps in line with Gmail & other services. My biggest complain with this app is, if I need an email sent to me through Gmail very quickly, I have to use Gmail app to retrieve it. Delivery via the native app is definitely slower than using the Gmail app itself.

Thank you for all your excellent videos that I follow with great interest and pleasure! Please do keep up your great work! One thing regarding the iOS (and iPadOS) Mail app that I really miss: a possibility to have an All Junk folder, just like we have the All Inboxes, All Sent and All Trash. That is really something useful for us using more accounts at the same time. Or a possibility to define a Smart Folder. Strangely enough, MacOS version of the Mail app has it, but not the mobile OSs.

Well done. Sending mail from the iPhone should be simple and when a user takes advantage of the features it becomes so simple. The scheduled send feature is so valuable. About time Apple added this option to mail. Do you know how to add an iCloud email or multiple iCloud emails?

@kerrib1474 Жыл бұрын

I use Gmail app but I’m very frustrated with the fact that when you move to a folder it still stays in all mail or is it when you move it to a folder then delete from inbox it disappears from the folder you just put it in. So maybe I’ll move back to the iPhone app instead of gmail app. Maybe it’s more user friendly . I originally switched because Gmail was more visually appealing. More colorful if that makes sense. Can you do a video on organizing emails and achieving?

Thanks for this video. I have tried the Mail App approach many times but I can't get rid of Outlook App for one reason: "move to OTHERS folder/always move to OTHERS folder". This functionality is amazing and allows to automatically build a database of filters and separate irrelevant emails from important ones. If there's a proven way to do this in the Mail App, then I'd love to know.

Thanks for the video, very helpful, as always. However, there is this one thing I never found out, and I am guessing a lot of users experience the same issue: When composing an email on iPhone, I sometimes copy/paste some text portions from other sources. Oftentimes, after inserting such a text portion, it differs from the rest of the text in style or size. Even though Im using Apple Mail for decades now, I never found a solution to this behavior. Do you have an idea how to format or adjust all text to be of similar size and type in such a case?

I'm just used to using J/K for navigating through emails.

Great video. Here’s another tip… If you accidentally mishandle an email, you can do a 3-finger tap and hold(for about a sec) above the search bar, and an UNDO box will appear at the top of the screen. **Note*** You can also do the 3-finger tap anywhere in the inbox but it can be tricky because it’s common to accidentally open or select an email if you don’t tap all 3 fingers simultaneously. To avoid this from happening, after 3-tapping and holding for a quick second, short swipe down (or up) to deselect any highlighted email and lift up.

I really tried to use the native mail apps. But there are to many inconvenience’s. Mails you set as „remind me“ staying in the inbox, you can’t use templates for repeating mails, notifications on iOS are like wheel of fortune - sometimes you receive them, sometimes not. The sync between macOS and iOS is horrible (mails I put 3 hours ago into trash on my Mac , are shown as unread in my iPhones inbox), send later only works if the device is online etc…. I exclusively use Apple devices because they are great, but the software they give us is not always up to date

I had a mail with large attachment stuck in the outbox for days. Every time it was deleted it came back after a short while and the message at the bottom kept showing another unsent message. Overnight it climbed to 12 unsent messages and was using up the bandwidth above all other devices. I had to contact Apple via chat which worked well but the solution was to sign out of that mailbox and remove it from the phone. Seeing as it was the iCloud account I was concerned that I would lose all sorts of data. The chat agent had to consult others to remedy the situation as he was unfamiliar with the problem. Fortunately re-adding the mailbox worked ok but not a great experience with Mail on iPhone☹
