I appreciate that you took special care to mention that certain features only work at certain settings, like “this only works if you're mac is set to English”, that way I can curve my expectations when I go out looking for the feature. Other settings and functions might only work in certain regions and content creators ignore them.
Why do I feel like I'm being scolded there at about 3:50 for having a messy inbox! ))) Great tips and tricks as always Gary! 🙂 Now, off to fine your video on inbox zero... 👍🙂
Great video👍. A small suggestion which I think will help many is to create short videos feature-wise. For example, if I want to get a quick update on how to use "undo send" I will have to go through many videos entirely. A short video which says "Undo feature in Apple Mail" will be so easy to search. Thanks for all your effort. Much appreciated.
Great job Gary, as usual. For me this is great on my iPad and iPhone however I have these features on my MAC via Mail butler through a lifetime purchase I got a while back. I’m surprised that apple took so long to add these features but better late than never. LoL Gary always includes those little details that everyone else leaves out. I was searching like crazy for whether or not your device could be asleep when it comes to the send later feature/schedule
I routinely get follow up messages after 3 days where I have asked questions of recipient. I like it so far. And I do keep a clean inbox, and all sent folders. I always learn something.
It's a shame Apple does not support reminders as soon as you move an e-mail out ouf the inbox. I will never understand this. A nice feature totally messed up. Same the follow-up feature. You're right Gary, thanks for the video.
Agreed completely. Re: Remind Me feature…Outlook for iOS does a much better job at this and handles it the obviously intelligent way - moves the message out of your inbox until you want the reminder, then the message reappears at the top. The least apple could do is let you Archive the message but KEEP the reminder active, which then moves it back to the top of your inbox. I want Mail to be my primary app, but it’s hard to give up outlook, which also lets you turn on notifications by mail account. I have about 5 mails accounts linked to both outlook and mail. I only want reminders for one of those accounts, which outlook does for me. For now, I still need both mail clients to get what I want: Apple Mail and Outlook. I think Apple underestimates the importance of having their apps be the best. When you use apple apps you have the most seamless experience with all of the ‘services’ apple operating systems offer. In spite of that, sometimes you have to sacrifice seamlessness to get the functionality you want, which makes Apple products less compelling vs. the competition.
Yeah, the follow-up and reminder me is pretty useless especially when you practice inbox zero. I find the 3rd party plug-in Mailbutler does this very well while retaining the UI of the Mac mail app.
Nice summary of the new features, most of these look really useful and it looks like Mail has caught up a bit (though not completely) to competitor apps like Outlook and GMail. I also appreciate that you are critical of the new features that aren’t so great-always good to have an honest review. Apple doesn’t always get it right after all, some new features need tweaking, changes, or just plain don’t work.

Apple should improve resources for stocks trading activities! Thanks for the great content!
Thanks a lot for the video. As per your 05:47: I like to switch off the warning for both features a) the reminder to attach a document and b) the reminder to add a recipient. I could not find a way to switch it off. Any support much appreciated!
Is it possbale to send an email with check boxes? I want to send a feedback email and I know my clients are busy so I thought some preworded check boxes that they could check off and reply/send back would save them time and improve my response rate - a bit like a quick questionaire within the email. I do not see a way to do this. Is it possable? Also, I used to love "Stationery" in Mac Mail and thought it was a huge step backward when they removed it. Is there anyway now to send a "pretty" email via Mail ? Last question.... Do any of the new Mail updates inclue the ability to see if/when a person opened an email ?? I find your instructions clear, concise and Very helpful. Many Thanks
No, you can't put a form in an email like that. Create a form online using a service, and send an email with a link. How many "clients" do you have? If you have more than a handful, then you should probably be using an email service, not personal email. Such services would also allow for templates and HTML email messages that look "pretty." You cannot see when a person opens an email message because email standards don't include such a thing. Email is a standard supported by thousands of different services and they would all need to agree for something like that to work. Many (like Apple) go the other way and prevent tracking tricks from reporting back that the email was loaded. This is considered a violation of privacy. So no solutions you see out there from services are 100%.
These things are useful, but what I hoped to find was how to "drag and drop" an email from the Mail app, and append it to an event in the Calendar. Am I missing something or does it just not work this way? Thanks.
Thanks, Gary. Good clip as usual. I really like your no nonsense approach! Like you I found some of the new features rather underwhelming. Here is something I would really appreciate: attachments added to the header section rather than randomly thrown into the body of the email (or where your cursor just happens to be). It is an absolute mystery to me why Apple is not capable of fixing something that basic.
But would all email clients on the other end know what to do with those? (honestly, I don't know). I try as much as I can to avoid any attachments to email (I think they are rude when you know people could be getting email while out on their phones).
@@macmost Hm, in my line of work attachments are a daily occurance (and far from being rude). As far as other email clients are concerned, I have only Outlook and a couple of other clients to go by, but they keep attachments separate from the body of text. Maybe, I am missing something here, but I would invite others to chime in here.
Thanks for your great video, can you please make a video of how to make the email that send from the mail app, will looks the same at its send from the gmail account and also, how to do tamplates email?
The Mail app doesn't have any templates. Hard to suggest an alternative without knowing more about what you need. As for having email look the same, I'm not sure what you are looking for there. How are they different? And keep in mind that the recipient will see an email differently depending on the device, app and settings on their end. Someone reading it on their phone with image turned off will see it differently than someone on a desktop computer, etc.
Hello Gary great video as usual! But could you please make a video about the network location that Apple has been removed from macos Ventura! I am about to downgrade back to Monterey because of this annoying problem, as I can’t use any of the devices in my local network like printers, NVidia ShlieldTV Box.
With send later though. Does that work in low power mode? My MacBook is connected to WiFi even when not in use most of the time. I can see it in my router as active. Do send later work in that case?
Gary-This video was very helpful. I think scheduled send is a long overdue feature that i'm thrilled is now available. at 6:03, your example included an icloud email. Do you have a video how users can create an icloud email? I want to create an alternate email but am unsure how to go about it. 👏🏽
Do you mean create an iCloud email account? If you don't already have one, go to System Settings, Internet Accounts, Add Account. Select iCloud. Follow along from there.
Hi Gary, I see that the menu bar and page colors of you mac mail have colors. your left side menu and tool are orange and the main mail screen is whitish. can you please demo how to do that or for any other window on the mac? Thanks.
Regarding the search "improvements", it seems that the feature that allowed you to go into a given mailbox with the search has been removed. Has anyone else noticed that? It was quite handy sometimes.
Many thanks to you for all that you are doing for all Mac Users. This tutorial is a great one and I love how you are making me to like so much the mail app now. Can you please help out on this one, I discovered that I can't send mail out using my iCloud mail account from both my mac and iPhone but sending only happen on the web version of the mail. A solution to this will be appreciated. Thank you
Hi Gary, thanks for that information. I find now using mail that if I forward a message that has an attachment. That attachment is no longer available in the new email being forwarded. What’s happened. Probably something needs turned on somewhere? Cheers
Hi..I wonder if there is a way or software that would allow me to safe all the email folders into a Hard drive..as a way to back up and or clean the mail app itself..I would really appreciate any suggestions...
Select the Mailbox, select Mailbox, Export Mailbox. But it is often better to do such things on the server since the Mail app may only have a cache of recent content, not every message. How you do that on the server depends on your email service (Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, corporate, school, etc).
Great Video! A question please; I was checking the new Ventura Mac Mail and when I was swiping left on an email, and instead of the red delete it was yellow with the text "Edit". Being curious I clicked on it and the email disappeared. Would you be able to tell me what this yellow edit button is for? Thanks,
I've never seen a yellow "Edit" option there. Do you see it with every email message? All I see when swiping left is a blue "Archive" option (I changed this setting from Delete to Archive because that's what I prefer).
Thank you for your prompt reply. I've never seen the yellow "Edit" option before. I checked most of the recent emails in the inbox and there are no more yellow "Edit". I have not been able to find anything about this yellow "Edit" on Apple, CZcams or Google. Very strange.
The reminder function doesn't work at all, it doesn't take the mail from your mailbox it just put's it to the top after an hour, yeah... great function. I use apple mail because it's the only mail app that integrates with the rest of the Mac, but I find it very basic and a kind of disappointing that Apple is just fully focused on hiding everything and make things look as plane as possible. People are actually working on these machines make features that do not just work with iCloud or in 1 language, create functions that are handy, make Apple mail the best client there is. Gmail in Chrome is ugly as hell, but man it works so fast and it's really focused on people that work and do something.
Hi Gary! I am a long-time viewer and love your work! I have been trying to find a solution to this problem for about 3 months now. I thought maybe you might have an idea. The spellchecker on Apple Mail is not underlining misspelled words even though it is turned on. Might it have something to do with Grammarly being deleted? I would appreciate any help in this regard! Kindest regards- Ian
@@macmost So sorry for the delay! When I go to Edit and then to Spelling and Grammer, Check Grammer with Spelling and Correct Spelling Automatically are checked. But I do not see and red underlining on misspelled words. Thank you!
Gary why do you think Apple mail is the best mail for you ? I keep thinking of outlook and spark. I don’t find the search functionality amazing in apple mail but I guess it does what’s needed. Do you use it also on all of your apple devices ? Regards,
@@macmost Seems it’s an under rated app as I’ve done research and most people use different apps. I went looking for other apps as searching/finding emails is giving me hard time and sometimes ipad sent items not synced with macbook items (using exchange). However I see no extra amazing features either in other apps. Really confusing
@@Abdullah-zl9ub Using other apps? They don't offer anything I need and I would miss the integration. I get tons of email each day. Probably 200-400 per day.
@@macmost Amazing, Thanks always for replying back. Maybe I should settle for apple apps also. (Tested this week Raycast, Spark, Superhuman…all same for me but superhuman is really good for shortcuts but not worth the money)
I would like so much to use mail as it's the only native MAC app I still am struggling with. it's miles and miles away compared to their competition (Outlook or even Google)
There may be a better way, but at the very least you can select it and use Send Again to open the message for editing. Then delete the original before it sends.
The remind feature is good, but I cannot stand it in Apple-land. With M365 or Google, the message disappears from your inbox and reappears on the given time/date.
One click? How would Mail know which sender you are searching for? You should click in the search box and type the name/email of the sender. It will try to autofill as you type letters, so it should just be a few keys.
I don't use the Outlook app so it is hard for me to say. But I do deal with a ton of email and haven't looked to switch to another app besides Mail in 15 years.
Good overview, but recently Mail has really failed me, for some unknown reason, in properly filtering messages sent by senders marked as VIPS. Frustrating...
Is there a way to have the flag colors stay consistent across devices? I have an iPhone and a MacBook Pro, both new and up to date, when I flag an email it always shows up with a red flag on the other device. Any way around this? Thanks!
I just tried it and was able to flag something yellow on my iPhone and it shows as yellow on my Mac. Not sure why that isn't working for you. Perhaps something to do with the email service you are using?
@@macmost You are correct! It works with iCloud addresses but not for Outlook ones, which of course makes total sense now that I think about it. 😅 Thank you for responding to our questions even on videos that are older!
Separately? Not sure what you mean by that. --- Oh, do you mean can you just get the new Mail app if you aren't using Ventura? No. Mail is tied in with macOS.
There is no switch. It uses language to figure it out so it won't be perfect. (Which is why it is currently only available in English for Australia, Canada, India, Singapore, UK, and U.S.) This isn't something anyone should rely on, it is something that will just help you from time to time.
Please please please if you answer comments Is there any way to download photoshop on mac for free because i can’t afford it or what should i do to learn how to edit photos .. please answer me 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Adobe doesn't provide a free version. There are plenty of cheaper photo editing apps though, some even free. See czcams.com/video/fGgBcnFCnFk/video.html
in Ventura, Mail says "Your network preferences prevent content from loading privately". As far as I know the only way to have your content load immediately is by unchecking "protect mail activity" and "Hide IP address". Is this dangerous?
Hi i use to have hotmail added and now it won't add hotmail. When i go to add then choose other type the hotmail it always comes back "unable to verify account name or password" why? The account and password are correct i've checked by signing into outlook. How can i add my hotmail accounts again? Thanks
I'm still struggling with attaching an attachment (doc or photo) in an e-mail. I start off composing my e-mail and then find I want to attach a photo, so I click on the Paper Clip expecting to be able to select the PHOTO button (have all my photo's displayed) and then select the photo I want to attach. But the minute I select the photo button it starts attaching my entire photo library. It all but locks up my mac. what am I doing wrong?
Not sure why you are seeing that. I try it and I clicked the paperclip, then chose Photos from the left sidebar, then clicked a photo, then the Choose Photo Button at the bottom.
I really, really hope we got a better mail app, before the mars gets populated. Still no templates for mails you send often. Still no feature to silence incoming newsletters. Mails you set as „remind me“ are staying in the inbox. Still not the same features on MacOS and iOS (why we don’t get smart folders on iOS???) etc…. I did send feedback to Apple a couple of times, but I think it’s more effective to teach a dolphin to speak. But maybe I’m underestimating the dolphins….
What you do to troubleshoot depends on your mail service, how you have it set up, and other factors. Call Appel Support so they can work directly with you.
Remove all VIPs. So go to an email addressed from the first VIP, click on the from address at the top, and remove the VIP status. Repeat with the rest.
If I’m not mistaken, on iOS 16 there is an actual remind me notification that pops up from mail. I could be wrong but I’m quite sure of it. It seems strange that this wasn’t integrated into Ventura.
@@thesisko3715 I just tested this on iOS, and yes, I get a notification on my lock screen. I do wish they had just implemented a standard snooze function though, as not moving mail out of the Inbox until needed is a big shortcoming.
My battery usage is still about ¼ what it was under Monterey. I’ve been told by several that it’s just a temporary thing, that it will normalize after all files are indexed… but it’s been days, machine on for days and still short battery life. I used to be able to work outside for 6-8 hours, now it’s like 2 or 3 hours.
Erin: Are you letting your Mac sleep or do you shut it down? If you shut down, it doesn't get to do the maintenance it needs to do. After a day or two you shouldn't notice any difference in battery unless you are also doing something else different on your Mac.
@@macmost - I use two older Mac’s, an MBA i7 and i9 MBP, both show the symptoms. I’ve left them plugged in, both open and closed. I do keep 5 or 6 programs on and running, WhatsApp, messages, mail, etc.
☠BLACK BARON☠ The UI was better before ... now the search bar is on the right and the "Where to search in which mailbox or mailboxes or inboxes" is on the left. 🙈 Kaputt developed 🙈 ... Honestly, Apple has a lack of skilled user interface designers. That's my opinion.
still unusable. Deleting a message makes the focus jump to the next email, marking it read instantly. I overlooked/forgot about countless important emails due to this 'feature'. Have been sending them requests to improve this, no success. Will continue with Spark, as this is no issue there. Whatever more or less useful feature they bring, I can't use Mac Mail as long as this doesn't get fixed.
Using Spark is a fine option if that is really critical to you. Myself, I consider anything in my Inbox as something I still need to take action on, and then I move things to Archive when I am done with them. So my Inbox is "deal with" and Archive is "dealt with." Read/Unread I don't care about.
That "Did you mean to add an attachment?" feature is something I've needed for 25, 30 years!
this feature is not working for me, how to enable it?
I appreciate that you took special care to mention that certain features only work at certain settings, like “this only works if you're mac is set to English”, that way I can curve my expectations when I go out looking for the feature.

I went looking for other apps as searching/finding emails is giving me hard time and sometimes ipad sent items not synced with macbook items (using exchange). However I see no extra amazing features either in other apps. Really confusing
@@macmost Nice ! Why you haven’t thought of using else ? Do you get many emails usually per day ?
@@Abdullah-zl9ub Using other apps? They don't offer anything I need and I would miss the integration. I get tons of email each day. Probably 200-400 per day.
@@macmost Amazing, Thanks always for replying back. Maybe I should settle for apple apps also. (Tested this week Raycast, Spark, Superhuman…all same for me but superhuman is really good for shortcuts but not worth the money)
I would like so much to use mail as it's the only native MAC app I still am struggling with.
it's miles and miles away compared to their competition (Outlook or even Google)
Hi - On my iMac (Monterey) I don't have the "Sending undo send delay"
There are new features in macOS Ventura. If you are still back at Monterey, you naturally wouldn't have these.
Is it possible to edit the content of a scheduled email or can I just reschedule the planned time?
There may be a better way, but at the very least you can select it and use Send Again to open the message for editing. Then delete the original before it sends.
The remind feature is good, but I cannot stand it in Apple-land. With M365 or Google, the message disappears from your inbox and reappears on the given time/date.
Is there a way to do find all emails from a sender with just one click?
One click? How would Mail know which sender you are searching for? You should click in the search box and type the name/email of the sender. It will try to autofill as you type letters, so it should just be a few keys.
How does Mail app compare with Outlook for Mac?
I don't use the Outlook app so it is hard for me to say. But I do deal with a ton of email and haven't looked to switch to another app besides Mail in 15 years.
Good overview, but recently Mail has really failed me, for some unknown reason, in properly filtering messages sent by senders marked as VIPS. Frustrating...
Is there a way to have the flag colors stay consistent across devices? I have an iPhone and a MacBook Pro, both new and up to date, when I flag an email it always shows up with a red flag on the other device. Any way around this? Thanks!
I just tried it and was able to flag something yellow on my iPhone and it shows as yellow on my Mac. Not sure why that isn't working for you. Perhaps something to do with the email service you are using?
@@macmost You are correct! It works with iCloud addresses but not for Outlook ones, which of course makes total sense now that I think about it. 😅
Thank you for responding to our questions even on videos that are older!

Can mail app be downloaded separately for those of us with 2015 MacBook pros?
Separately? Not sure what you mean by that. --- Oh, do you mean can you just get the new Mail app if you aren't using Ventura? No. Mail is tied in with macOS.
Hi Gary, My attachment alert is not working. How to enable it?
There is no switch. It uses language to figure it out so it won't be perfect. (Which is why it is currently only available in English for Australia, Canada, India, Singapore, UK, and U.S.) This isn't something anyone should rely on, it is something that will just help you from time to time.
Please please please if you answer comments
Is there any way to download photoshop on mac for free because i can’t afford it or what should i do to learn how to edit photos .. please answer me 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Adobe doesn't provide a free version. There are plenty of cheaper photo editing apps though, some even free. See czcams.com/video/fGgBcnFCnFk/video.html
How do I add favourites to side bar in mail pls?
Drag any mailbox/folder from below under one of the accounts up to the favorites section.
Hi, how to you make the menu bar translucent like yours. Thanks
Not sure what you mean. It is translucent by default. Maybe you have switched that off in System Settings?
@@macmost There's no setting for it. Mine doesn't look like that at all. I'm on Ventura 13.2.1
@@lag9 Check in System Settings, Accessibility, Display. Turn off Increase Contrast and Reduce Transparency.
@@macmost that worked. Thank you. Thumbs up
in Ventura, Mail says "Your network preferences prevent content from loading privately". As far as I know the only way to have your content load immediately is by unchecking "protect mail activity" and "Hide IP address". Is this dangerous?
Dangerous? Not usually. It is the normal way for it to work. That privacy feature is an extra layer of privacy, that's all.
Hi i use to have hotmail added and now it won't add hotmail. When i go to add then choose other type the hotmail it always comes back "unable to verify account name or password" why? The account and password are correct i've checked by signing into outlook.
How can i add my hotmail accounts again? Thanks
You'll need to contact either Hotmail support or Apple Support. Not sure on which side your problem lies.
Thanks! At least I know why Follow Up isn’t working!
Hello Gary, Can you have Mail display "rich links in Messages" by default?
I don't see any setting as to which is the default.
@@macmost Thank You.
I'm still struggling with attaching an attachment (doc or photo) in an e-mail. I start off composing my e-mail and then find I want to attach a photo, so I click on the Paper Clip expecting to be able to select the PHOTO button (have all my photo's displayed) and then select the photo I want to attach. But the minute I select the photo button it starts attaching my entire photo library. It all but locks up my mac. what am I doing wrong?
Not sure why you are seeing that. I try it and I clicked the paperclip, then chose Photos from the left sidebar, then clicked a photo, then the Choose Photo Button at the bottom.
Do you personally use Mail or something else?
I really, really hope we got a better mail app, before the mars gets populated.
Still no templates for mails you send often. Still no feature to silence incoming newsletters. Mails you set as „remind me“ are staying in the inbox. Still not the same features on MacOS and iOS (why we don’t get smart folders on iOS???) etc….
I did send feedback to Apple a couple of times, but I think it’s more effective to teach a dolphin to speak. But maybe I’m underestimating the dolphins….
I also don't have a "remind me" feature
i really want to use Mail App as my default on my mac. But always return to spark.
Check in Mail, Settings. There is a setting for the default app.
since they did the new features to the mail app my mail is not importing any suggestion
What you do to troubleshoot depends on your mail service, how you have it set up, and other factors. Call Appel Support so they can work directly with you.
Gary, I would like to know how to delete my VIP list. Thank you in advance
Remove all VIPs. So go to an email addressed from the first VIP, click on the from address at the top, and remove the VIP status. Repeat with the rest.
Quite incredible how useless the Remind Me feature is.
If I’m not mistaken, on iOS 16 there is an actual remind me notification that pops up from mail. I could be wrong but I’m quite sure of it. It seems strange that this wasn’t integrated into Ventura.
@@thesisko3715 I just tested this on iOS, and yes, I get a notification on my lock screen. I do wish they had just implemented a standard snooze function though, as not moving mail out of the Inbox until needed is a big shortcoming.
Any new features for spam/junk mail
No. I wouldn't use any spam/junk features that are in a client app. That needs to be done on the server. See czcams.com/video/fFAvUQNeksc/video.html
@@macmost Yes, I understand that you wouldn’t use them but are there any new mail features for spam/junk in Ventura besides the profile picture
@@ethanmenzel No.
Waiting for Adobe to give their 👍 before upgrading to Ventura.
My battery usage is still about ¼ what it was under Monterey. I’ve been told by several that it’s just a temporary thing, that it will normalize after all files are indexed… but it’s been days, machine on for days and still short battery life. I used to be able to work outside for 6-8 hours, now it’s like 2 or 3 hours.
Erin: Are you letting your Mac sleep or do you shut it down? If you shut down, it doesn't get to do the maintenance it needs to do. After a day or two you shouldn't notice any difference in battery unless you are also doing something else different on your Mac.

@@macmost - I use two older Mac’s, an MBA i7 and i9 MBP, both show the symptoms. I’ve left them plugged in, both open and closed. I do keep 5 or 6 programs on and running, WhatsApp, messages, mail, etc.
@@Erin-Thor Did you check in Activity Monitor to see what app is using the most energy? Should be easy to spot the problem.
☠BLACK BARON☠ The UI was better before ... now the search bar is on the right and the "Where to search in which mailbox or mailboxes or inboxes" is on the left. 🙈 Kaputt developed 🙈 ... Honestly, Apple has a lack of skilled user interface designers. That's my opinion.
Wish it wouldn’t put attachments inline. This is so dumb.
Send Later FINALLY! Remind me looks like it needs some work. Follow up is kinda weird in my gmail, I wonder if functions better here.
still unusable. Deleting a message makes the focus jump to the next email, marking it read instantly. I overlooked/forgot about countless important emails due to this 'feature'. Have been sending them requests to improve this, no success. Will continue with Spark, as this is no issue there. Whatever more or less useful feature they bring, I can't use Mac Mail as long as this doesn't get fixed.
Using Spark is a fine option if that is really critical to you. Myself, I consider anything in my Inbox as something I still need to take action on, and then I move things to Archive when I am done with them. So my Inbox is "deal with" and Archive is "dealt with." Read/Unread I don't care about.
is it just me or does it feel there has been ZERO innovation in apple mail... just some updates, on an old outdated junk piece of software?
