Bravo Peter! I must confess that I am moving back to native apple apps-after many years, they are hidden gems these days and also very understated - your share to reminder tip was a new one to me -- keep up the great work!

🔥 I’ve been working on my productivity and decided to to utilize all the native Apple apps because of their compatibility. I decided for the first time use the mail app and had no clue how helpful it is to manage my email. This is the first video I’ve watched on the mail app. It has been incredibly helpful for me.

Many handy tips - many thanks! There is one feature that I am really missing and that is the ability to 'tag' an email. Using different 'mailboxes' is just too crude. Over the years I have purchased and installed Mailtags several times. A great idea - but the software was just too buggy...so after a month I uninstalled it.

That’s awesome! I’m trying to move from Gmail to iOS Mail, because of the integration, and I’ve been using apple services for more than 15 years, also moving from Gmail to iCloud Mail, I already pay for iCloud so there’s no need to be paying for google services. (A bit more privacy than google but still compromised privacy with apple, maybe one day I fully migrate to Proton, but not sure because of the integrated environment of iOS products)

I've been using Spark for years but actually Apple Mail would be enough for me. All the functions I need and the app is very simple and clear. Btw. do you only use Todoist on the iPhone or also Things 3? My Todoist subscription is about to expire and I'm thinking of switching completely to Things 3... however, entering tasks in Todoist is significantly faster than in Things.. 😁

😎 Apple Mail has one main issue IMO. I have returned to Apple Mail from using Spark for years, but the only thing I would like to see Apple Mail do that it doesn't do, that almost EVERY other email app does, is to allow you to go back to the main list of emails after reading an email, deleting, archiving, or etc an email. Instead of going back to the main list, Apple Mail always defaults to progressing to the next email in line. I want to choose the email I would like to work on next and not have it go to the next email in the list. When it does this, the app marks it as read and then I have to manually mark it as unread so I can go back to my list and choose. It would be far easier after we do something with a particular email, to go back to the main list, showing us all emails to allow us to be the ones who choose which email we work with next. Does this make sense? ✌

@ctjh373 11 ай бұрын

Great video Peter as always. Quick question, do you recommend having all your emails in one program/client then it’s easier to filter/manage with to-do’s etc? My work email is MS 365 so Outlook but could them all into Spark or Apple Mail. Thanks

@PeterAkkies 11 ай бұрын

That’s definitely what I would do, yeah.

@boblaycock6812 11 ай бұрын

I’m wondering the same. I have to confess I didn’t begin to know about all this power in Mail and I kind of pride myself on being Apple savvy. Well, not so much this time! But Peter’s video on HEY introduced me to that platform and I switched after further investigation. So far no regrets. I love HEY.

@PeterAkkies 11 ай бұрын

I really like HEY but decided to use Apple Mail so I can teach people about Mail. Many more people use Apple’s products and I want to be as useful as I can be.

@boblaycock6812 11 ай бұрын

@@PeterAkkies Makes sense, and I swear you blew me away with that tutorial on Mail. Amazing. For me personally I think HEY does the critical things far more easily than Mail - not so much tinkering and setting - but HEY is awfully expensive versus Mail (free) and HEY comes with a learning curve since its whole approach to email is so much different than pretty much every other app. Anyway, great Mail video. I will share it with Mail users I think could benefit.
