So I have created IMAP folders with categories such as “Customer Support” and “Process” that hold email between my devices.
#Using same email for mac and iphone mac#
I finally realized the madness of it all a few weeks ago when my flag counts were Mac (17), iPhone (34), and iPad (12). I would go through a whole process of checking the flags I cleared on the Mac to see if they made it over to the iPhone and iPad, and vice versa. Moreover, once I clear the flags that do make it over to the Mac, those flags may get cleared over on the iPhone. Sometimes a flag applied on the iPhone shows up on the Mac sometimes it does not. The problem I keep running into, however, is that Apple Mail cannot keep track of the flags. The same goes for legal and personal email. Whether an email is customer support or a general feedback issue, it gets a specific colored flag. For about a year now, I have been using colored flags for email in that triage role. Nevertheless, for some time now, I have been managing email with Apple Mail, but only after I add features to it with SaneBox (a sometimes sponsor of this blog) and, on the Mac, SmallCubed’s MailSuite.Įven after bolting on these tools, I still find myself primarily managing email on my Mac and treating the iPhone and the iPad as email triage machines on the rare occasion that I even look at email on those devices. So many third-party apps are unreliable, and Apple Mail just refuses to evolve. As I have lamented too many times on Mac Power Users, I seem to be able to find email apps that I can live with, but not fall in love with.
