What is Apple Mail?

Apple Mail serves as the default email client on devices like the iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Mac, allowing users to connect with Gmail or act as a substitute for Microsoft Outlook. You can set up an email account in the Mail app on your iOS device using two primary methods: automatic setup or manual configuration. While Apple may collect your domain name, such as yahoo.com or gmail.com, for the purpose of enhancing its services, your full email address remains private and is not shared with third parties. There are two main strategies for configuring an email account in the Mail app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, so it's essential to choose the one that aligns with your preferences. If you experience difficulties with syncing updates to Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders across devices, various solutions exist to help. Furthermore, you can organize your inbox more effectively, ensuring that you focus on the messages that are most significant to you. By adjusting your email settings, you can create a smoother and more efficient communication experience that caters to your needs. Ultimately, understanding these options can greatly enhance your overall email management.

I am very grateful for the experience gained with this platform, as it has helped me a lot to receive emails in a very simple and secure way. The convenience has helped my experience to be positive at all times.

    Positive

    One of the things to highlight about this platform is security, this platform automatically filters messages that are considered spam in my email inbox, it is able to block any type of threat or slow fraud email in my inbox, this security is very good. I love being able to link several inboxes within the same application, this allows me to access several emails just by using the same application, and in a few seconds, I also like the speed with which all kinds of attachments are uploaded to any email I am writing, I can attach an image or a document in just a few seconds, the speed is fast. The general interface of Apple Mail is quite comfortable and allows you to fully view any type of inbox very comfortably.

    Negative

    Apple Mail helps a lot in managing inboxes.

    Date: Apr 26 2023
    Summary

    Apple Mail has made it possible for me to have full access to my inbox just by using it within my mobile device, one feature that I did not like about this platform is that it is not available for download within Android devices, that platform is only Available in its version for computers and in its version for iPhone devices. I have been able to use Apple Pay within my browser on the computer, to be able to access the inbox of the various emails that I have associated on my mobile device, I really love the inbox within the by Mail, it allows me to link any Inbox type Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo or business emails. I consider that my experience within Apple Mail has been satisfactory and I will continue to use it in the long term to continue receiving emails in my personal inbox and business inbox.

    Positive

    The things I liked the most about this platform were:

    1- Apple Mail has great availability and compatibility with any type of mail, you can add an IMAP or LDAP account in a simple way just by correctly typing the name of the servers to which the mail you want to link points to, in addition, you can link a large number of emails of all kinds simultaneously, you can link Outlook emails at the same time you link Gmail emails.

    2- It has an innovative design, this is quite satisfactory since it allows you to navigate correctly within this inbox without presenting confusion, in addition, this design also helps you to create any type of email to send it to any recipient, the platform in general, has a very innovative design.

    3- You can attach any type of document or image to any email you are writing to someone, there is no limit to the number of documents you can link to an email, to the number of images you can send via email.

    4- Another important function of this platform is that it allows you to scan text to insert it into any email you are writing. This function allows you to scan any type of text with your mobile phone's camera in any email you are writing.

    Negative

    The things I didn't like were:

    1- Apple Mail despite the fact that it has no limit on the number of documents or images that you can insert into an email, there is a limit regarding the weight that each image has with each document, which makes it quite difficult to send via email a high resolution image that weighs a lot.

    2- Apple Mail does not work in real time through the background function, which causes you to not receive notifications when you receive a new email and your inbox, you will have to access the platform manually to update your inbox and know if you have received new emails.

    3- Apple Mail is not able to identify and mark emails that are spam, since the inbox is filled with unwanted emails, it is important that this function be implemented within Apple Mail, to ensure that spam emails are detected in time to prevent digital fraud.

    Apple Mail makes it much easier for me to receive new mail.

    Date: Apr 16 2023
    Summary

    Apple Mail for the way it allows me to access multiple inboxes from the same application, and the general design of this platform has contributed a lot to my overall experience, since it has made it an essential comfort within the application , that general design is really very attractive, it makes me feel quite comfortable and makes me feel that it is quite easy to move around within the platform, I can quickly access my main tray, the drafts section and I can also access the mail section unwanted without presenting any kind of confusion. I feel very comfortable using Apple Mail, mainly because it allows me to send files, images or documents of each email I have written, also allows me to receive all my emails safely, the application automatically detects any type of fraudulent email, to prevent my experience within the platform from being affected. Another positive aspect that I have obtained with the help of Apple Mail is that I can have full access to all the emails linked to my mobile device just by using the web version of iCloud, this is fantastic since just by registering correctly within my mobile device , I can access the iCloud platform and check these emails just by signing in.

    Positive

    Apple Mail is an incredible platform to be able to add your inbox and gain access to any email you receive and it also serves to send a new email to any recipient, one of the main positive things about Apple Mail is that it has an innovative design, The design that this platform has is quite basic and helps all users accessing their inbox through this application. The attractive design of this application helps you to move around your inbox easily, since just by pressing With one button, you'll be able to access your spam folder, your main inbox, drafts folder and much more. Another positive thing that this platform has is the capacity it has to store a large number of emails, you can store up to more than 20 email addresses within this application and within the same device, in the same way the application will allow you to access these inboxes instantly, there is no limit to the number of emails you can link to this app, that's great. The system to create a new email and send it to a recipient is quite complete, this system allows you to modify the signature for each email, allows you to modify the text font, add documents, upload images and much more, this helps you to create a complete email with everything you need.

    Negative

    The main disadvantage that can be found within this application is that emails are not received in real time, also, if you have the application closed on your mobile device, you will not be able to receive new mail until you open the application again, when you open the application automatically start loading the new emails received, I am quite negative since it would be good if the application continues to receive emails regardless of whether it is closed, also correctly activated the notifications within this application so that they are received in the background, however , this function does not fulfill its objective correctly, since I never receive notifications of new emails received in my inbox, since the application does not update in the background, which causes the notifications to not be sent to my mobile phone.

    Email, but nothing more than that

    Date: Aug 07 2022
    Summary

    Overall, if you don't care about an email that looks nice and has lots of extra features then Apple Mail will be the software to use.

    Positive

    Easy to use and has the features needed to get your emails written up and then sent out to your contacts.

    Negative

    There isn't anything special about Apply Mail, the features aren't pretty and I wouldn't say there are any "extras".

    Registering multiple inboxes has never been so easy, this app works great for receiving emails.

    Date: Aug 10 2022
    Summary

    The main factor why this application has worked wonderfully in our work sector is because it has helped us manage our entire inbox from the same place, within our company we use several inboxes that are necessary for the operation and reception of various emails from our clients, so we have registered inboxes but necessary devices, and we can know exactly all the emails we receive at all times. It is important to highlight that I have also been using this application for personal purposes, because I have my personal inbox in which I constantly receive emails from my friends or colleagues, I have also had an excellent experience from my personal inbox, I have I have been able to have a correct reception of all emails with no type of exception, in addition, I have been able to send all types of emails without any limit, this application works wonderfully. There are still several things to be optimized within it, such as adding a system to modify the inbox interface, as well as improving the email synchronization system, so that the inbox is constantly updated while it is running in the background. I am satisfied with the results obtained during all this time, I think that this application has been optimal to record inbox at all times and be able to receive the corresponding emails, it is also completely free and synchronizes with your iCloud account, with which, If you don't have access to your device, the web version of iCloud can access all your inboxes in seconds.

    Positive

    Apple Mail is a fantastic service if you are looking for a platform in which to enter a large number of emails or just enter your personal or work email, its efficiency when storing large amounts of emails is impressive, it also works as a platform multiservice, which can store several inboxes in the same application. One of the main things that I like about this platform is that the interface is easy to use, you can create all kinds of electronic things in a matter of seconds, you can also check all your inbox quickly from your mobile phone, you can enter the spam folder, spam emails, spam or drafts without any confusion, Another thing I like is that this platform is pre-installed on all devices with iOS operating system, this way you will not have to install any type of application or perform some complex configuration, just by having an iOS mobile device, you will have the application installed and ready to start using it. Lastly, I love the fact that there is no kind of limit to how many inboxes you can register within the app, no matter if you have registered more than 10 inboxes within the app, you will still have the same effectiveness and the wide view of the entire inbox, it is incredible that it does not have any kind of limit. Next, I will mention in detail the things that I liked the most.

    * As I mentioned previously, you can enter up to more than 10 inboxes simultaneously, this application does not have any type of limit regarding the number of emails that you can enter within it, this helps a lot since there are people who manage this more than 10 inboxes in your company, and it works great since you can access any inbox at any time.

    * This application has all the necessary tools to create a fairly specific email, it allows you to add attached links to all kinds of words and there are also images, you can enter images within each email you are creating, as well as you can attach a file, document or video within the email, it is important to mention that there is a type of limit of 50 MB of attachments that are allowed to be uploaded in each email, so you must take your precautions if you need to attach several files within an email.

    * The app is completely lightweight, having it on your mobile device won't present any kind of disruption to you or your device's storage, and I also love the fact that this app comes installed on all iPhone devices, as I mentioned earlier is a clear benefit, as it can record your inbox without the need to download any third-party apps.

    * Adding a specific inbox is quite simple, this application allows you to add inboxes from Yahoo, Gmail or Outlook, but it also allows you to add custom inboxes, be it your business email or another, to add your business email it must be done by a small configurations regarding the post and the server here you must connect, as well as use the corresponding domain, it is a fairly easy process for this application.

    Negative

    The main negative factor that you do not go near this inbox is that there is no real-time synchronization or updating of it in the background, I have noticed that when I do not use this application, I do not receive any type of immediate notification when I receive some email in my tray, I have received several emails in a day, and I have not noticed because this application is running in the background on my device, in order to be informed of all the messages or emails that I receive daily , you must constantly update the application, there is no automatic update synchronization while you are not using the application, It is totally a problem for all users who use this application, since not everyone has the time to review them every day , it would be great to have that in this automated update system, to send immediate notifications when you get a new update. or mail. Another of the negative things is that you cannot modify the general interface of this application or of your inbox, it would be very attractive to be able to modify the color of the inbox you have, just as it happens with Gmail, this would help users and they are more comfortable and it would also allow you to modify it and it was general from your inbox.

    A Decent Email Client

    Date: Jun 07 2021
    Summary

    Apple Mail is a solid choice for sending/receiving emails. I do wish it was a bit more flashy, but it does what it's supposed to do.

    Positive

    Comes pre-installed on Macs, so no setup or installation is required. Does a good job of sending and receiving our emails.

    Negative

    Not the most feature-rich program. But at the end of the day, it is stable and reliable so no complaints.

    I prefer Gmail

    Date: Nov 02 2021
    Summary

    It's pretty basic for general email checking but doesn't offer a lot more than that. It could use some updates in my opinion.

    Positive

    The syncing feature is nice, but the overall function of this app doesn't consign with what I need out of an email.

    Negative

    The features of apple mail seem to be stuck in the past. It operates slowly and doesn't have as much to offer as Gmail.

    Apple Mail

    Date: Apr 01 2021
    Summary

    Overall, I still use Apple Mail, because it helps me organize my personal emails. I opted for another app for work email, though, due to the Cons listed above.

    Positive

    Apple mail is helpful for combining all of my email address accounts into one space. I like being able to look at all of my email at once, or look at each account separately.

    Negative

    The Apple mail interface isn't very pretty, and the sidebar has way too much going on. I wish it could be simplified without so many options.

    Minimalist Email Software.

    Date: Feb 01 2021
    Summary

    Overall, Apple mail is a minimal mailing application that is very easy to use and very beginner-friendly.

    Positive

    -It is effortless to use because of the User Interface it has, the learning curve becomes very low.
    -You can store all your email in one place, be it Yahoo, Gmail, or any other mailing account. It becomes elementary because you don't have to open every account to check emails.

    Negative

    -It is very secure, and that comes with a downside. It asks you for passwords and security questions multiple times in a month, which becomes annoying sometimes.
    -It is an elementary application, so you won't be able to use it for your business or corporate purposes.

    Great until it crashes and all is lost

    Date: Sep 12 2021
    Summary

    I do not recommend. It works great until it doesn't anymore and then you lose everything. And no Apple service desk person can help.

    Positive

    I have been using mac mail with a mac email address since 2006. My mac email address was my primary email address and I used this address for all important stuff, but I used mac mail program/app also for my other (google) email adresses. I liked it because it organised emails well and could be used with other email adresses too. Worked perfect on my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Till it didn't. Not long ago I stared my computer and literally saw my emails disappearing. I called the helpdesk of Apple right away. But they could not help. Pretty much all the emails send to and from my mac email address are lost. No back up nothing. The mails send to and from google email adresses were backed up with google and I still have those. I lost thousands of emails containing very valuable information and pictures. No one knows what happened and all is gone forever. I rather use free google email addresses in the future.

    Negative

    See above. Once it crashes for no apparent reason you loose all emails forever. No back-up, no recovery.

    Comes free with Apple devices
    Mailbox rules for better organization of inbox

    Not Very Advanced

    Date: Jul 29 2020
    Summary

    I don't like this product as well as others out there. While it is easy to use, there are basic features that it lacks to make it the email platform of choice.

    Positive

    I have only used Apple Mail for 8 months, after using Microsoft Outlook for several years. While the layout is nice and the platform is easy enough to set up and use, this product is not nearly as robust as Outlook.

    Negative

    I don't like that you can't have different signatures automatically apply for replies vs new messages. Out of office must be set up through the web platform instead of the desktop version.

    Nice software to store emails

    Date: Jun 25 2020
