    In iOS 27, is there a way yet to turn off the "Summarize" icon in the top right corner of every email?

    I've already turned off the feature that summarizes the email contents in the Inbox list view, but I've been wanting to get rid of this "Summarize" icon that is on each email view. Hoping we can have more turn on some / turn off others options in 27.

    Mail Banner: “This mail was forwarded to your inbox”

    So I use hide my email exclusively and never my real email address for anything. All the aliases get routed to my iCloud email. Nothing unusual. I have only recently switched from using Protonmail to Apple’s native Mail app as I find it more convenient for all things ‘hide my email’. Thing...

    Mail - reduce notifications to Primary?

    Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I'm puzzled by the current Mail sorting and notifications scheme. For a while now, Mail has sorted the inbox into Primary, Transactions, Updates, Announcements, and then All Mail. However, new-mail notifications seem to remain all or nothing, which kind...

    The Mail app on iOS & iPadOS does not gracefully handle IMAP mailboxes that contain a large number of messages. In my usage, the "magic number" seems to be around 10k, but YMMV. The issue manifests in various ways: in a large "Inbox," new messages may not appear on the iPhone. A large "Sent" or...

    For work, I frequently need to sign PDFs that I receive and email the signed PDF back in my reply. The last couple of iterations of MacOs made this extremely easy with Mail/Preview. I could simply open the PDF from Mail (using Preview), add my signature in Preview, and then close the PDF...

    Sending plain text e-mails through Mail on iPhone

    An acquaintance of mine uses Mail and wants to send e-mails in plain text only. No HTML. But Mail keeps forcing the mixed text/html mode on her. Why would this be? I am aware that Mail has no switch to turn plain text on and HTML off, but this can still be done if the user does not use...
