can you attach more than 1 photo at a time yet?? If you wrote an email from the mail app you can only attach one photo at a time. But if you select multiple photos from the photos app you can share as an email with the group of photos. Why not have this simple update to allow a user to select photos from the mail app. Especially when replying to an existing email doesn’t really work!!!
That is EXACTLY what I use it for. I create the illusion of being ever present. It feels like I have a personal assistant sending emails for me at different times of the daySame here. As far as our customers are concerned, I am up and at ‘em extremely early in the morning.
Ios16 need to have a folder for emails that you have marked “remind me later”. Then completely surprising them, they should be temporarily flagged or categorized so if your time does free up and you want to work through them you can. Right note they just kind of disappear
I took a quick gander at their website. Which features have you found to be the most useful?
These improvements/additions are appreciated. MOST users will use the imbedded program rather than add yet another app that may add an additional feature that is rarely used.
OMG, THAAAAAAAAS! ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼 Why is this not consistent and automatic?
As far as I can tell, this notification syncing problem is a problem with ALL apps, not just Apple Mail. It is truly annoying beyond belief, because I have to launch 100% of my apps every day across all my devices to clear the notification badges. Instagram, Slack, Facebook, Apple Mail, dating apps, travel apps, sports apps, games, entertainment apps, everything. I really wish that Apple would work on fixing this.

Anyone has this monstrosity on Mac or iPad in Beta? Are attachments still compulsory inline? Or is it icons now?
What idiotic way to do stuff..... had to pay for Canary to get over it, twice for ios and for mac ....

Professionally I use Outlook. Compared to Apple's Mail, I can't find the folder path, and I very rarely find what I'm looking for. Incremental search is unusable in Outlook even with indexing enabled. I have several decades of mail traffic in both Mail and Outlook. Apple performs infinitely better in search. Therefore, I can see your opinion disproved in my daily practice.
The only thing I don't like about macOS Mail is the backup process. It's incredibly annoying get back large libraries. You used to be able to backup the local mail folder in previous OS. Nowadays, the procedure is much more ambiguous.
In this aspect (and just there) Microsoft is doing better. The database structure is also surprisingly robust in Microsoft.
The icloud synchronization of macOS Mail on a new computer (synch without TimeMachine) is incredibly slow and incomprehensible for huge libraries. Here I look forward to improvements.

What do you use it for? To program birthday greetings? I can't think of a useful example, I've never missed such thingi.
In the settings of a program you can see when there are too many bells and whistles:
With Outlook, for example, you have to be a manual pro to apply all the settings. This is a big bummer, and I'm glad that Apple is more cautious about adding options.

Anyone know if there are improvements to rich text formatting? I’ve been yearning for the ability to create a hyperlink in a mail message on iOS and iPad OS like you have been able to on Mac for years. Each rev of iOS comes and goes without this, but this year I’m holding out hope it’s one of those improvements unmentioned in the keynote…
No it is not, gmail does filering etc server side, so if you getba bunch of low priorety mai ( maling lusts and the like) you can just have filters put them in a folder an not subscrip to it, say on your phone and you don't spend any time/ data downloading it while out and about, client side ruel must at minimum download headers. Allso since rules are applied server side they are device indioendent
I am also amazed that it took until the iOS 15.4 release from March 2022 to add collapsible folders to iOS Mail. This should have been in iOS Mail since day one, and the default should have been to have all the folders collapsed, and not expanded by default, like how every other mail client works. In iOS 15.4 and later it still has the default view as expanded, but at least now you can manually collapse them. It does also remember how you have it set, but when iOS 15.4 came out with this feature the default should have been to collapse all the folders, and have the user to expand them as needed, and remember that setting going forward. Why they left it all expanded and force user to have to manually collapse all the folders is beyond me. I bet a lot of iOS Mail users probably don't even know they can collapse folders now and will just least them expanded.
I am at least happy to see Apple adding common sense features to iOS Mail that should have been done years ago. Now the question is when will they add IMAP IDLE as an option. I know people are going to say it uses more battery life, but given the size of today's batteries it should at least be an option that the user could turn on if they so choose.
Proton Mail Bridge allows one to use ProtonMail with Apple Mail via IMAP; requires a paid account though.
Right, I do that on Mac; however there’s no way to do that on mobile so I have to use the proton app on iPhone and iPad.
