The default mail customer that Apple packs with its Macs and iPhones has never truly been cherished by the larger part of individuals. Be that as it may, as far back as OS X El Capitan, and now with macOS Sierra, Apple is reliably enhancing the Apple Mail application. There are some truly valuable elements that the Mail application offers, and there are some cool Apple Mail deceives you can use to truly improve its experience. Here are 8 Apple Mail tips and traps, for both iOS and macOS devices:<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

1. Rename Flag Names (macOS)<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The Mail app on macOS, offers users the ability to flag emails. Users can choose flags from a variety of colors, and use them to\u00a0categorize their email. However, there is no obvious way to\u00a0rename\u00a0<\/em>what these flags are called. By default, the flags are only called \u201cRed\u201d, \u201cYellow\u201d, \u201cOrange\u201d, etc. If you want to rename the flags, you can\u00a0follow the steps below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Mark\u00a0emails with different flags.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"8<\/p>\n

      \n
    • From the sidebar,\u00a0click on thearrow next to \u201cFlagged\u201d<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \"8<\/p>\n

        \n
      • You\u2019ll see\u00a0the list of flags you have used on your emails. Simply\u00a0right-click<\/strong>\u00a0on the flag you want to rename, and select \u201cRename Mailbox<\/strong> \u201c.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \"8<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

          \n
        • You can then rename the mailbox, and the flag\u2019s name will also change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          2. Natural Language Search (macOS)<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

          The Mail app also has a really powerful search. You can use natural language to search through your email. This makes it\u00a0easier to find files without having to use specific commands. For example, I can search for \u201cemails from yesterday<\/strong> \u201c, and the Mail app will only display the emails. It\u2019s really helpful. You can also search for things like \u201cEmails with attachments<\/strong> \u201c, etc.<\/p>\n

          3. Stationery Pane (macOS)<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

          When you\u2019re composing an email, you can make it look even better by using the Mail app\u2019s stationery pane. This pane\u00a0offers a number of templates<\/strong>\u00a0that will make your email look really good.\u00a0You can choose from a wide variety of templates, categorized by occasions, or types of email. To use the stationery pane,\u00a0follow the steps below:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Compose a new email. Click on the\u00a0stationery pane icon<\/strong>\u00a0on the top right of the compose window.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \"8<\/p>\n

              \n
            • This will open up a pane showing a number of\u00a0templates<\/strong>. You can select the one you want, and your email will be formatted like that, when it is sent to the receiver.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              \"8<\/p>\n

                \n
              • You can use the stationery pane templates to create some really good looking emails, and impress your friends, and colleagues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                4. Markup Attachments<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

                When you add attachments like images or PDFs to an email in the Apple Mail client, you can even\u00a0add annotations, and scribble on it!<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s easy, and you can do it on both your iPhone, and on the Mac. To do this, simply follow the steps below:<\/p>\n

                  • Click on the attachment, then\u00a0click on the little arrow\u00a0<\/strong>on the top-right and select\u00a0\u201cMarkup\u201d,<\/strong>\u00a0from the drop down menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    \"8<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • You can now Markup the image as you see fit, and add annotations, scribbles, and text to the image before sending it off to the recipient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      \"8<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

                      On iPhone<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                        \n

                        \"8<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • Here,select Markup<\/strong>.\u00a0You can now Markup the image to your liking, adding annotations, scribbles, and more to the image.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          \"8<\/p>\n

                          5. Use Smart Mailboxes to Categorize Mail (macOS)<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

                          If you like keeping your inbox organized, you should definitely use the Mail app\u2019s\u00a0Smart Mailboxes.\u00a0You can create a new smart mailbox, and assign rules to it, so that Mail automatically sorts email that should go into the smart mailbox, saving you from having to do it. To use smart mailboxes, simply follow the steps below:<\/p>\n

                            \n
                          • In the Mail app, go to \u201cMailbox -> New Smart Mailbox<\/strong>\u201c.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            \"8<\/p>\n

                              \n
                            • You can name the\u00a0Smart Mailbox as you see fit, and\u00a0create rules to sort email<\/strong>\u00a0 For instance, I\u2019ll create a Smart Mailbox titled\u00a0\u201cToday\u201d,<\/strong>\u00a0and have Mail add emails that I received today, in the Smart Mailbox.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                              \"8<\/p>\n

                              6. Swipe Down To Draft (iOS)<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

                              Quite often, I am composing an email, only to want to refer something from another email.\u00a0So, I need to draft my email, look at the other one, and then go to \u201cdrafts\u201d, and tap on\u00a0the email I was composing. This can get quite annoying, simply\u00a0because the number of taps required is too high. Fortunately, you can\u00a0do this in a much better way.<\/p>\n

                                \n
                              • While creating an email, simplyswipe down from the Title Bar<\/strong>\u00a0of the email.\u00a0The email will be minimized, but will still be visible on the bottom of the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                  \n
                                • Once you\u2019ve referred to the email you wanted, simply\u00a0tap on the\u00a0minimized\u00a0email<\/strong>, and it will pop back up again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                  \"8<\/p>\n

                                  7. Customize Swipe Actions (iOS)<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
