    Stuck "Remind Me" notification in Mail (Mac, iOS, iPadOS)

    This one has been driving me nuts for a few months now. Mac Mail is showing an indicator of 1 message in the "Remind Me" mailbox (same on iPhone and iPad). Clicking that mailbox, I have no emails in there. I've also deleted old emails out of trash, cleared out sent items, rebuilt the mailbox...

    Apple Mail bug, found and logged!

    There’s a bug in Apple Mail that “randomly” deletes emails - locally and on the server. Completely. It’s been going on for years and drives me CRAZY. It just seems to happen randomly. I live in email, it’s where I work. So Mail is open with an email that I’m reading as I’m making changes in...

    Universal Alternative to Canary mail (with OpenPGP support but without AI)

    Hello! For a long time I used Canary Mail because of its OpenPGP integration and lack of alternatives. Unfortunately, not only have they switched to a subscription-based model, but they've also shifted their focus from security / OpenPGP to AI, which even seems to be enabled by default after...

    Mail - how to reset/repair one user

    A friend using MacOS 12.7.1 is having problems with Mail. Mail works quite well as long as they don't activate their IMAP account; they have some local mailboxes from an old POP account. Connecting and trying to synchronize with their one IMAP account causes Mail to increase its memory usage (in...

    Mail app keyboard shortcut to display Rules?

    I'd like to have a shortcut when in Mail to display the Rules I have defined. I've opened App Shortcuts and can get part of the way there by creating a custom shortcut to get to the Mail Settings with: Mail->Settings... But how do I then select "Rules"? Nothing seems to work. I'm running...

    Primary language is set to UK English - but suddenly autocomplete (Notes/Mail) is using US spelling

    I've just been typing something in Notes and autocomplete is completing words we spell with an 's' with the American 'z' spelling. I have checked System Settings and the default (primary) language is set to English UK. Mail is also affected. It only affects autocomplete, autocorrect isn't...

    All iPads How to make all email available offline?

    How can I have all my email from a given account downloaded and available offline on my iPad? I was hoping that being able to do this would be an advantage of getting 2TB of storage, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to make it happen.

    After the installation of beta 8 yesterday on my iPad Pro I didn’t see any obvious issues but today after restarting it, as I always do the day after a new OS, this issue occurred.

    Smart Mailbox Folder fails after 20 mailboxes

    A curious thing that I just noticed. When creating a smart mailbox folder in the Mail app (Mail 16.0 on Ventura 13.4), it completely fails when more than 20 smart mailboxes are added. Up to 20 it works great, showing the cumulative emails pulled from the smart mailboxes, but after 20 it...

    Any changes in Mail?

    I've used Mac Mail on Exchange since 2008 when I first switched to Apple, and loved it more or less. However, our work email provider recently had to change over to 365 from on-premise Exchange, and I was forced to start using the new Outlook app. To be honest, despite being 100% Apple, I do...

    My wife has a 2017 MBA still running Catalina (10.15.7 - Yeah, I know). Recently she's had a couple of odd password problems that I think are keychain related: • The machine keeps "forgetting" WiFi passwords.
