    Push email with Mail app

    I've asked this at the official forum and had no answers at all. My Mail app won't get push email from any source. I have Outlook, gMail and iCloud email accounts but none of them arrive by push. My Mac can sit all day, not getting any push emails at all, but the moment I launch the app...

    Upgrading to Sonoma vanished my color flags on emails in Mail app

    I've long used Apple's Mail app on my Macs, not without gripes, but it has general done the job. One feature I came to rely upon was the little colored flags that I could use to flag individual emails that I wanted to find easily. But it seems like when I updated my MacOS to Sonoma, the Mail app...

    Unexplained background activity from mail app after updating to iOS 14.7

    I updated on Saturday, and under my batter usage, the mail app was coming up as 15m background activity, which I am assuming is separate from background app refresh, as that is disabled. The odd thing is, I didn't have the mail app open, and I don't have any email accounts added to it. I have...

    Mail App - view attachments as icons?

    Is there any way I can setup the mail app or the Big Sur OS itself, so that the attachments, be that photo, or a pdf containing a photo remains as a thumbnail? I can't seem to figure out a way to do this. This is how it looks now.
