    Display names for email aliases. How do they work?

    I’ve got a couple of email aliases set up on my main iCloud account. Within iCloud mail settings on the web, it allows you to specify your name and the actual alias address eg: ‘Dave’ then ‘Davesmith@icloud.com’ My question is this. When I send an email from the stock mail app, it seems to show...

    My hope for Passkeys

    Being a crotchety cynical old man, I try hard not to get my hopes up but I fear that Apple's Passkey has broken down my resistance. I really hope the Passkey concept gets implemented and universally accepted. And it isn't really for web site authentications. If the institution has my public...

    iPhone 14 Pro Conflicts in mail and battery life 14 Pro

    Hi, I used the Microsoft Outlook mail app for about a year, because I had sync conflicts in the Apple Mail app on my iPhone. Does anyone know what causes this? I see e-mails that are not present in my mailbox (also spam). I don't really know how to fix this. And the battery life on my 14 Pro...

    Can I include the "Junk" folder in "Today" smart folder?

    In Apple mail(macos), I want to use the "Today" smart folder to see every email I received today, regardless of what happened to it after being received. That would help me see what happened to a message that I expected to receive but isn't in my inbox for some reason. A mail rule may have filed...

    Anyone else having this problem? I just tried to schedule-send an email, then went back into the Send Later folder to see the email there, but the in-line, in-text image was not there. I've tried putting the image as a copy-and-paste (from a screenshot) but also from clicking the actual 📎 icon...

    Disabling the 'Protect Mail Activity' on Mail App Doesn't Disable the 'Load Content Directly'

    Hello Apple friends. Disabling the 'Protect Mail Activity' on Mail App doesn't disable the 'Load Content Directly' and this has been going on for more than a year now since upgrading to this OS (the buggiest OS in Apple's history by far). How can it be fixed? Thank you in advance. Have a very...

    So I have had this problem with several versions of MacOS, so I think it's my mail account that is causing some issues, but I use a normal gmail account, so that should mean a lot of people should have this problem. Problem: Whenever mail app stays on for too long (I think it happens more...

    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...

    Hi all, I upgraded Mojave to Big Sur yesterday. (2018 Mac Mini) On first launch, Mail displayed the usual "updating database" message. No error messages, but: all Mails for all accounts are now gone. I have a full backup (Carbon Copy Cloner), so I'm not breaking a sweat (yet). I tried...

    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?
