    Mail.app Notification Center sort order

    Since finally updating to Sierra last week, Mail’s notifications in Notification Center have been sorted in ascending order, with the newest notifications at the bottom.

    Mail opens with no window & dead menubar

    For the last month or so, if I open Apple Mail in the normal way, I get only the menubar and no window open. I can click on the dropdown menus, but none of the commands work - not even Quit.

    Hi All: I'm running macOS, and it's the latest public build. This is not a new problem, and I have experienced it since Yosemite. No upgrades have resolved it and no forum searches have revealed similar problems. I find that constantly, the built-in mail app will say, "Downloading X of X,"...

    Archive or Trash all in iOS 10 beta

    My mail app won't show the "trash all" or "archive all" options when in an inbox and pressing edit. It was a new feature in iOS 9. Did I turn off a setting I'm just missing or did they remove the feature?
