Description

Master Mail in Yosemite and iOS 8!

Email is a necessary evil in today’s world, but you can work more effectively in Apple Mail with the hard-won advice in this book, written by email expert Joe Kissell. You’ll learn how to make Mail serve your needs with essential setup, usage, and troubleshooting instructions, whether you use Gmail, iCloud, Exchange, IMAP, or POP — or more than one — in both 10.10 Yosemite on your Mac and iOS 8 on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

Joe explains core concepts like special IMAP mailboxes and email archiving, reveals Mail’s hidden interface elements, helps with common tasks like addressing and adding attachments, and offers tips on customizing Mail to your preferences. You’ll also learn how to find that message in the haystack, figure out how digital signatures and encryption work in Mail, and uncover solutions to numerous common problems. Perhaps most important, Joe shares his strategy for avoiding email overload; the article where he first introduced it won American Business Media’s Neal Award for Best How-To Article.
