Can you send a fax from apple mail
Unfortunately, Apple Mail does not have a built-in faxing feature. However, there are a few workarounds to send a fax from your Mac using Apple Mail:
Method 1: Use a third-party fax service
- Sign up for a fax service like eFax, RingCentral, or MyFax, which allows you to send faxes online.
- Create a new email in Apple Mail and attach the document you want to fax.
- In the "To" field, enter the fax number in the format
[email protected]
(replacefaxnumber
with the actual fax number). - Add a subject and any additional text you want to include.
- Send the email.
The fax service will receive the email and convert it into a fax, which will be sent to the recipient's fax machine.
Method 2: Use a fax app
- Download and install a fax app like FaxZero, FaxBurner, or iFax, which allows you to send faxes from your Mac.
- Create a new fax in the app and attach the document you want to fax.
- Enter the recipient's fax number and any additional information.
- Send the fax.
These apps will use your internet connection to send the fax to the recipient's fax machine.
Method 3: Use a printer with fax capabilities
- Connect a printer to your Mac that has fax capabilities, such as a Brother or Canon printer.
- Open Apple Mail and create a new email with the document you want to fax attached.
- Print the email using the printer's fax feature.
- The printer will send the fax to the recipient's fax machine.
Please note that these methods may require a subscription or a one-time payment, and the quality of the fax may vary depending on the service or app you use.
