Antidote mac mail

You're looking for an antidote to the frustration of using Apple's Mail app on a Mac!

Here are some tips to help you overcome common issues and make your email experience more enjoyable:

  1. Customize your layout: Go to Mail > Preferences > Viewing, and adjust the layout to your liking. You can change the font, font size, and column layout.
  2. Use labels instead of folders: Labels are more flexible and easier to manage than folders. You can apply multiple labels to a single message, making it easier to categorize and search.
  3. Unsubscribe from unwanted emails: Use the "Unsubscribe" feature in Mail to automatically remove yourself from unwanted mailing lists. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, and enable "Unsubscribe" under "Junk Mail Handling".
  4. Use the "Smart Mailboxes" feature: Smart Mailboxes allow you to create custom views of your email based on specific criteria, such as sender, subject, or date. Go to Mail > Preferences > Smart Mailboxes, and create your own custom views.
  5. Use third-party plugins: There are many third-party plugins available that can enhance your email experience, such as plugins for email tracking, signature management, and more. Some popular options include Sanebox, Boomerang, and SaneBlackHole.
  6. Take advantage of keyboard shortcuts: Mail has many keyboard shortcuts that can help you work more efficiently. For example, you can use "Command + Shift + >" to move to the next unread message, or "Command + Shift + <" to move to the previous unread message.
  7. Use the "VIP" feature: The "VIP" feature allows you to mark important senders as VIPs, and receive notifications when they send you an email. Go to Mail > Preferences > VIPs, and add your VIPs.
  8. Use the "Snooze" feature: The "Snooze" feature allows you to temporarily remove an email from your inbox and bring it back at a later time. Go to Mail > Preferences > Snooze, and set your snooze times.
  9. Use the "Undo Send" feature: The "Undo Send" feature allows you to retract an email you've just sent if you realize you made a mistake. Go to Mail > Preferences > Undo Send, and set your undo send time.
  10. Consider using a third-party email client: If you're still experiencing issues with Mail, you might consider using a third-party email client like Airmail, Spark, or Microsoft Outlook.

I hope these tips help you overcome your frustrations with Apple's Mail app and make your email experience more enjoyable!
