iPhone Mail is GREAT with these 10 tips 

Thank you. I’m nearly 70 years old and a recent Apple convert. The way you show what to do is perfect.

The BEST thing I love about his videos is that he has gone over in his mind scenarios that actually happen and then writes his videos based on those scenarios. So many other videos I have seen are all about getting the information out there, without any instruction. I’m a 20 year retired teacher and I can’t tell you how much others think they are teaching by expounding information without considering the understanding of the person they are teaching. Not so with this person!!! He is clear, has considered possibilities and considers the understanding of his audience. For me, he gets more than a “gold star”! This is why I subscribed.

Nice tips. I would like to share that you can also select multiple emails without tapping “edit” by simply swiping up or down on them with a 2-finger swipe.

This is one of the most useful RU-vid videos I’ve ever watched. Sooo helpful. You did an excellent job teaching us these tips which I knew hardly none of them. You have no idea how grateful I am to have heard this. ❤️🎉

Very useful video, well presented with clear and easy to follow instructions. Great job 👍

I knew most of the tips, but not all and I’m now older and wiser. Love your clear and unhurried style of presentation.

Please keep these videos coming love that you help us understand all our default iOS apps.

By far the best, clearest channel on RU-vid when it comes to explaining Apple. Very concise, comprehensive and, most important of all, best paced! Thanks for not speaking a mile a minute.

A really useful tip is to shake the device to undo an action. For example if I deleted the wrong email or moved it in the wrong file. Really great tip

Great job, you make everything very simple!

Thank you for making it simple to understand and do. 🙏🏾

Wow, you are a good teacher! Thank you and keep up the good work.

You can also select multiple emails using a two-finger on the screen swipe down on the emails in your inbox or other boxes. It automatically slides you into edit mode, selecting the mail messages you swiped over.

Thanks for the useful tips for Apple Mail. I’ve been a long time user of the Gmail app mainly because of the Labels feature which is very convenient to group emails easily. However, lately Gmail app on IOS has become very laggy when scrolling through graphics intensive emails unlike the native mail app which is smooth and responsive. Although Mail supports Gmail labels, the action of “moving” an email to a (label) folder makes it disappear from the inbox view which means you have to check every folder to look for a specific email! Am I missing something in Apple Mail?

You are very very good at explaining stuff 👍🏼👍🏼

8:06 quick select also works by just swiping down or up with two fingers. No "Edit" needed. But thanks for reminding me, I forgot about it in mail. I use it in photos, but there you need to tap "select" and then swipe.

A new subscriber here and just wanted to leave a quick note to say that your presentation and editing is bang on point. 👌 I recognise the effort you’ve put into these videos and you sir are killing it. 👏

Really well put and informative. Learnt something new, yet I am not new to apple or iOS in anyway!

This guy is whip SMART can’t wait for his next videos

Great video! I was hoping you would discuss the search feature because I find it to be mostly unusable. iOS Mail search feature is awful.

Great information. Thank you. Liked and subscribed. Keep them coming.

This is so helpful. Thank you for the great job you did while explaining every tip!

This was a good reminder that I could just set the unread as it’s own option. I had the habit of going to all inboxes-tapping unread, then filtering emails that way, totally adding unnecessary steps!

Brilliant tips. Thank you so much.

Excellent presentation and content. Thank you.

I’ve been using Spark for a while. I may give Mail another try. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the tips. Long time user of Outlook will have to give Apple Mail a try again.

You are my teacher.

Your videos are really awesome 👍🏽👍🏽

Telephone numbers -holding phone in one hand and in the other hand a letter with a number you need to ring ask Siri and by quoting the number Siri will dial the number for you. Also you can ask Siri to for example call George home on speaker it does it automatically. “I’m 83”

Thank you for your videos! I’ve learned so much.

Great content, thanks 👊🏾

Wow! This was very helpful. Thank you.

Another excellent video. I am loving your channel.

Fantastic.. very helpful 👍🏻😃

Your tutorials are amazing btw. I have completely revamped my phone with these tips about apple native apps.

Thanks for the walk-thru. I like the New Email > Press and hold > Go to Drafts. This saves me so much time now. I also added a few edit options to the main page as well. Thanks!

Thanks!

Outstanding vid! I am all in apple’s ecosystem!!

Thank you for some very useful tips which saves time and frustration.

Fantastic info right here!

Thanks. Useful. I am new to iPhone

Very useful, thank you

OMG! The PDF tricks!i! That made my day! always struggled with pdfs on iphone

Great job

Great tips! Thanks!

I've always been comfortable using Gmail and Google Calendar, but the tips that you've shown in these video tutorials are excellent. There's a lot that I didn't know that could be done using Apple Mail & Calendar, which is really helpful to ensuring that I use it more often.

I wish there was a way to delete more emails at one time ,example all emails from a sender at one time… enjoy you tips ..thanks

Enjoy the videos. Some good tips in this session. Thank you

Markup PDF - you can use emoji in TEXT edit to add ticks & crosses.... Great video, v.concise.

I Love your clarity and showing where/how to find and change things. Immensely useful. But PLEASE slow those directions down a bit. They go by so fast I have to back up half a dozen times to follow and find the process on my own phone. Or else, have a chart at the end of each segment that I could photograph for review. Please!!!

Awesome 👏

I never use mail until today. I was using the gmail app for many years :) thanks for that video :)

I’m simply in love with the default Mail app… a lot of my friends were frustrated with it as they did not know how to delete emails with swipe gestures and when I showed them, they were in awe for some reason lol

Great tips and very helpful but I am wondering how do you scroll thru emails by swiping left or right vice the up and down arrows. Can’t you just swipe to go to next email to read?

Thank you for speaking clearly and slowly for us older adult to understand and follow along. Just subscribed and like, to your channel.

Very helpful thx !

Thank you for your help! It works perfectly!

I use the Spark email

Thank you for the VALUABLE INFORMATION!

I gave up on Email years ago due to all the junk. Maybe now i will try again. Thank you.

USEFUL TIPS. THANK YOU

Thanks young man😀

So helpful. Thanks.

thanks..so useful...

Very good and clear. He’s very good. Very informative

Thanks again 👌

Love the videos. Very informative and helpful

You’re the best; thanks a ton!

I’ve saved this Vlog for future reference as it’s so handy, some tips I new but a few I didn’t. 👍

Another excellent video, my friend! Looking forward to the pdf edit function. I know that will be handy when my child returns to school in the fall!

Just a quick that you for you channel well done clear and to the point with no annoying background music so off putting. When trying. to concentrate

Great videos, subscribed. I wish more were as clear and to the point as yours!

Superb video - Lot's a things I didn't know. Thanks

Ive watched a few of your videos recently, and they’ve been EXTREMELY helpful! This video put me over the top. Just subscribed! Greetings from The States!

Thank you very much - this video was super nice to watch! On the point, not too long, understandable (even for me with english as a foreign language). Like + Subscribed :)

Brilliant! Thank you

Great information! I do have a question if you have time, is there a way to clear specific emails from the mail cache? When replying to emails and you begin typing you get a list of recommended emails, that's what I need to clear. Thanks again.

Some Useful info…. Thanks, some of which I was able to keep up with. (76 and getting older). A question I have however is related to save to Archive ……….. where will I find this ? I’ve looked everywhere within my ability to investigate Mail/ gmail accounts but fail to find this file ,the content of which has mistakenly been directed there instead of deleting which had been my choice. Many thanks for you input.

Great video! Did you know... to bulk select emails, you don't have to hit the Edit button. Just swipe down with 2 fingers.

@Proper Honest Tech, I have a couple of quick questions… 1) Can one use a “Reply To: “ function with the iOS Mail App? If so, can you explain how to use it? 2) If not, do you know of any mail apps that allow this? Thank you, always, for your awesome videos and help!!!

Great videos! One fantastic use for VIP I found was for my Synology NAS’. They have the ability to send you emails when there is a problem or if you want to know that a PC backup has completed. So I created an email account just for that, made it a VIP, and setup notifications on my phone. It’s great way to know how well my NAS’ are doing! 😎

Is there a way in the mail app to hide promotions and social ( gmail client) inboxes from appearing in the main inbox?

Your videos are great and well worth watching if you only learn one thing. I’m learning a lot more than that! Your teaching style is excellent - allowing for auditory👂 visual 👁 on kinaesthetic 🤚 learners or combinations. I’m a blend of visual and auditory and so I need to see the new information, then pause and do it on my screen. That’s really important to cater for all 3 learning styles. You also speak slowly enough for auditory learners to process it. Your use of circles to highlight is an extra important aid - sorry the teacher in me is showing but so many people don’t have their learning styles met. To find out your learning style google VAK checklist.

Very nice video

I just can’t warm up to Apple mail… I always default to Gmail, that automates so much sorting and labelling, etc. The only thing Apple mail does better than Gmail, imo, is how it deals with image attachments, offering the different file sizes. OK now I’m going to watch your video and see if my opinion changes.

Excellent ThankYou! These are very useful tips. And most of all Very easy to follow. If you have some video on Mac air tips please do share. Much thanks and appreciate.

i just wish my mail app got notifications better. Most of the time i have to open up for it to update and i never get banner notifications even with the right settings. Over background fetch seems bad and never reliable.

Thanks, as always. Despite the various mail apps available, and I have tried a number of them, the Apple native app works as well or better, and has a simple UI. Of your tips, I get the most important use from the Smartboxes. Negatives? Just one, for me. The Search engine is neither intuitive nor works well. It could use a redesign.

I'm curious what mail app you actually use (or different for various platforms?). I want to use the stock app, I actually like how it looks a lot, but I feel like I have to think too much about it--whereas with Spark I can mindlessly deal with anything and I feel so organized. What do you most recommend?

Thanks for the tips. One thing I wish I could do is disable the immediate trashing of a message when I swipe left too aggressively. I wish it would give the Trash option (along with Flag) but not actually trash the message without an additional tap. Too often I have to go into trash and move a message back to the inbox.

You can select multiple emails also by just using two fingers, while swiping up or down (without switching to 'edit' first)

Hi, thank you so much for your videos. They are ever so informative and so packed with incredibly useful information. I love the Mail app and I wanted to ask one thing… Is there an ‘Out of Office’ option/function that can be used? I’m sure there is one but I haven’t discovered it yet. Keep up the fantastic work with your excellent videos. 😊

New subscriber. Great tips 👍🏾

Great video. Question please: I’m using iMac and iPhone under the same Apple ID. Lately deleted lots of emails. The problem is that the iCloud Mail storage still full and the mail app both in my iMac and iPhone is low as it should be. I’m using iCloud drive and can’t find where is the deleted Mail data to permanently delete. Thanks

Great job on this content. New subscriber here.

Thank you, could you do a video on gmail short cuts?

I hope you can show iCloud links for your Mail app shortcuts

How do you stop the mail you want from going into the junk box? I keep telling it not junk, moving it to the In box. This works maybe once and then it’s back to the junk box. Very frustrating. 🙄

Your tips were awesome!!! I want Apple to add extensions such Evernote, slack, etc. that will make it much better for those that depend on emails
