Apple Mail Reviews

Summary: Overall, I still use Apple Mail, because it helps me organize my personal emails. I opted for another app for work email, though, due to the Cons listed above.

Positive: Apple mail is helpful for combining all of my email address accounts into one space. I like being able to look at all of my email at once, or look at each account separately.

Negative: The Apple mail interface isn't very pretty, and the sidebar has way too much going on. I wish it could be simplified without so many options.

Summary: I don't like this product as well as others out there. While it is easy to use, there are basic features that it lacks to make it the email platform of choice.

Positive: I have only used Apple Mail for 8 months, after using Microsoft Outlook for several years. While the layout is nice and the platform is easy enough to set up and use, this product is not nearly as robust as Outlook.

Negative: I don't like that you can't have different signatures automatically apply for replies vs new messages. Out of office must be set up through the web platform instead of the desktop version.

Summary: I do not recommend. It works great until it doesn't anymore and then you lose everything. And no Apple service desk person can help.

Positive: I have been using mac mail with a mac email address since 2006. My mac email address was my primary email address and I used this address for all important stuff, but I used mac mail program/app also for my other (google) email adresses. I liked it because it organised emails well and could be used with other email adresses too. Worked perfect on my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Till it didn't. Not long ago I stared my computer and literally saw my emails disappearing. I called the helpdesk of Apple right away. But they could not help. Pretty much all the emails send to and from my mac email address are lost. No back up nothing. The mails send to and from google email adresses were backed up with google and I still have those. I lost thousands of emails containing very valuable information and pictures. No one knows what happened and all is gone forever. I rather use free google email addresses in the future.

Negative: See above. Once it crashes for no apparent reason you loose all emails forever. No back-up, no recovery.
