Does Mail Drop require both the sender and receiver to be using Apple Mail and have iCloud accounts?

Sorry if I missed the answer to this elsewhere.

Nope. Only one side needs to use Apple Mail. I sent a 190MB file via Mail Drop to my brother's Gmail account and he just got a link that was expiring in 30 days.

I didn't try sending from my Gmail account, but I think it would work. Apple Mail is probably the key to Mail Drop, not the email provider.
 
I upgraded my MB Air to Yosemite, but am waiting on my iMac. No big, but a head's up. The current versions of iMovie (which I don't use anyway) and iPhoto (which I use ALL the time) aren't compatible with Yosemite, so you'll need to update those. I absolutely could not stand the bright red iTunes (marketing run amuk) and immediately removed it from the dock.

Getting senile, I think it's iPhoto. Don't feel like turning on the MB right now.
 
Markup has been a feature of Preview since, what, Snow Leopard? I've been signing PDFs on my Mac for years.
 
I have a question: How do you minimize an email that you've already drafted without having to save the draft. In IOS you just double click the top part, but I'm not sure how to do it in Yosemite. Advice?
 
I wonder what the security of mail drop is? I'm guessing that since it is easy to use, it must not have any security as that would make it complicated.

How secure are normal mail attachments? Mail Drop is "as secure" as every normal mail or link attachment.
 
Using GM Candidiate 3 and I still do not see an option for Markup after I select reply to an email w/ an image attachment.
 
Trying Mail Drop right now. 126MB email. Mail didn't ask if I wanted to use Mail Drop and the sent mail doesn't indicate that the addressee is getting a link; it just looks like the email was sent with the attachments. However, I didn't get a bounce back that the files are too large.

I've had the same experience. I can't get that confirmation sheet to pop up. But it does seem like things are going through.
 
i *Wish* Mail supported Markup. Real Markup (ala John Gruber). The Apple Markup feature is nice too.
 
I'll get attacked this, but all I wanted Mail to do was include support for Outlook.com so I can use the calendar, reminders and email...

These are all killer changes though. If Apple had a better persistent reminders app for calendar and reminders/tasks such as Office Reminders in Office for Mac 2011, I'd jump away from Outlook.
 
For importing my signature I just:

1. Signed a blank piece of paper
2. Scanned and saved the file to my computer
3. Opened the file in Photoshop
4. Cropped and unlocked the signature layer
4. Used the magic wand and tool and selected the white/paper background
5. Deleted the selected white/paper background leaving just the black signature
6. Saved file as a layered psd, tiff, or 'saved for web' as a png-24 file

Easy

People still use email?

And what do you use? :cool:
 
One does not simply visit MacRumors every day and anticipate releases, only to be patient and wait for 10.10.1! :D

Personally I'm waiting for 10.10.10, that way I'll be sure all the kinks have been worked out.
 
I tried guessing an eleven-letter swear word starting with c. All I could come up with was cabbageworm.

I think I guessed it...

Cluster f u * k

What do I win?!

some people will just complain about anything.

Yup, apple give an entire operating system away for free.
People still complain...

They just can't win!

Yawn... What we needed is scheduled email sending

Dear Apple, I will finally update my iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 when you finally implement scheduled email sending in Apple Mail.

Until then I'll stay with Eudora which has had that feature over 15 years already. (And yes, I know about the $12 third-party plug in for Apple Mail called "SendLater" but this should be integral to the email client.)

These new features in Yosemite email are just gimmicks compared to the usefulness of scheduling email delivery.

Did you sign up for the Yosemite beta trial?

You can provide Apple with useful feedback directly through their feedback app, rather than on an independent rumour site.
