    Hi everyone, I upgraded from Yosemite to Mojave 10.14.3 two days ago, and it took a long time to get Mail 12.2 working. I'm on a mid-2015 MacBook Pro, and was setting up a POP Gmail account. I'm not on the cloud and prefer to manage my mail locally using Mac's Mail app. (I'm repeating my...

    Apple mail discarding original message when replying

    Hi everyone, I frequently run into an issue where I hit reply to an email in mail on MacOS and it only retains the header in the inline message - but none of the body. The only way I can fix it is: A) hit reply 5-10 times and suddenly the whole message is there or b) start the reply on my iOS...

    Why does Safari "forgets" GMail passwords?

    Hi, recently Safari started to act differently and to bounce me out from my GMail, so I need to login after reboot or long sleep etc. Any idea why is this happening and how to solve it -- to make Safari "remember" I'm logged in? Many thanks Lexy

    Being informed of e-mail from my wife

    When my wife is out of the house the only reliable way for her to contact me is by e-mail. I'm on Gmail. But when I'm writing on my Mac I don't like to be distracted by the internet and will either minimise the browser, usually Chrome though I'm attracted by Opera, or prevent it from opening...

    iOS mail or gmail AND outlook?

    I have the iPhone X, I have email with outlook and gmail, I’ve been using the official apps for both but am tempted to use the built in mail app but I’m concerned that as gmail has to use fetch it will drain the battery?

    Gmail + iOS11 / how I miss thee (again)

    Like likely many others, I was super excited when updating to iOS11 to have gmail actually work on my iPhone again! For years (even though I have 15min fetch enabled), gmail would only update if I did so manually. It was great to see emails come up on my Apple Watch (something I had rarely come...
