    Configuring MSMTP on a Mac

    I have MSMTP (a simple smtp client) running on four Raspberry Pies. It was easy to set up and runs fine on all of them. I haven't had the same good luck trying to install and configure it on an M1 iMac. I'm sure I made a silly error somewhere. I'm hoping someone will spot my mistake. The...

    Out of Office

    Anyone else wish Apple would add a 2022-worthy "Out of Office" reply for Mail. Setting up "rules" that could wind up sending an out of office reply to every message already in my inbox if not set up right is so antiquated. This is the sort of feature that Focus Modes would pair beautifully with...

    Apple Mail Mailboxes On My Mac Versus iCloud

    I have a question about the mailboxes I've created in Apple Mail. I create mailboxes to organize messages I want to keep. I've always just had them "On My Mac" instead of putting them in iCloud. I'm curious to hear what others do, as I'm wondering if I'd be better off putting all of these...

    Mail not showing since updating to 15.5

    Since updating to 15.5 I've stopped getting notifications for my emails in the mail app. No tone or even an unread number by the app. When I open the app they are all there though. Anyone had anything similar?

    Thinking of switching to Mail

    Ever since I updated to 15.4 on my iPhone & iPad, the mail app stops fetching new mails in the background from my set schedule (15 minutes) after a few days, and I stop getting any notifications or even an updated badge on the app icon.

"All mom ever does is email". So I called mom, had her reboot, try Safe Mode, no change. Talked her through signing into...

    I'm running Mail 13.4 on an elderly 2012 Mac mini, on Catalina 10.15.7. On the Mail window, on the ribbon on top right, there is a field that I can click to send messages to mailboxes. I've just noticed that the default has changed to "All Mail', and I've been clicking it for a few messages...
