    Apple Mail will sadden & madden any user with an even moderately active inbox. No automatic social media mail filtering. Searches rarely surface the desired message. It's a mess and I'm ready to blow it up.

I really like this app on my MacBook for mac, I love the fact that I can use start writing an email on my iPhone and continue on my mac without having to wait for the drafts folder to update. I do thing it isn't as clean and I use other apps on my other machines and so I don't use it as much

No-nonsense but well-featured email application for macOS that works well with multiple IMAP accounts and Gmail. Features an "All Inboxes" view as well as showing each account individually. Setup can be a bit weird since parts of account config are in System Settings. Uses the system Contacts application. You can add and remove server folders on your accounts. Better than Windows 10 Mail, not as good as Thunderbird, but lighter and snappier.

Apple Mail is fine for most users. However:

  • It only comes in gray....not great for visually-impaired users.
  • There is NO snooze ability
  • Swipe still needs an extra click to perform the set action for it.
  • Occasionally syncing with iCloud just stops for a few hours. I keep thinking I will change my email address...
  • Search works well, though.

What is Apple Mail?

Apple Mail changes the way you interact with your email every day.

Mail displays your messages and open email side by side in a widescreen, two-column view. The favorites bar below the toolbar works much like a bookmarks bar in a web browser, giving you one-click access to your mail folders.

A compact preview of each message — including the first two lines — lets you scan your messages at a glance.

Search suggestions help you find messages even if you’re not sure what you’re looking for. Just start typing whatever you remember — a recipient’s name, part of a subject line, a keyword — and Mail dynamically suggests matches. Search tokens let you refine what you find.

Conversations are a new way to read and manage email that automatically groups messages from the same conversation. Fully compatible with other email applications, Conversations reveals streamlined feeds of messages in chronological order, so you can see how each thread has progressed without having to search for individual messages.

Note: Apple Mail is included in all versions of Mac OS X. It can't be downloaded separately. If you need to reinstall Apple Mail, an installer package for default Apple apps is available in the "Optional Installs" folder of your Mac OS X installation disk.
