Top 5 Email Hacks for iPhone

[@gavinmesserly]

Dude, filters in Gmail were life-changing! I have always wanted to use the Mail app on my Apple devices, I did not know how to filter through all the BS. Much appreciated!

I'd like to see how you can set a rule in iOS 17 for junk mail to go straight to trash. Or how to set these rules in iOS app, nice video

[@beardfm]

Great idea! I would suggest creating those rules and filters in your email provider (Gmail, Outlook, or iCloud.com) rather than the Mail app on Mac. And there's not a way to create filters for your Mail on iPhone directly.

[@pfr010]

@@beardfmhow would this work? I have set a number of rules on my Mac (e.g. forward emails from UPS to my partner), but they aren’t applied unless I click apply rules in the mail app on my Mac. How do I apply them automatically across my devices?

Can i make filters for Apple mail? Is this only possible in settings on Desktop devices?

Great Tutorial!! Sudden problem .. under Mail in settings .. “ Mail Days to Sync “ is not there !! Noticed that in last week previous emails disappeared leaving only 10!! Happened twice now .. seems to happen on a Sunday

Great information: question - just bought a new iphone 15 pro and ATT tech updated my contacts & mail. however, their procedure created a duplicate concast mail inbox? both inboxes are the same ! How can I delete one of the inboxes? any thoughts thanks

Hey! If you go to Settings > Mail > Accounts, are there duplicate accounts listed? You can delete one there.

@stephen check if we add multiple work profiles on one iPhone currently it has options for one profile only? Like in android we do multiple work accounts their has to be a way for doing in IOS too

[@beardfm]

Do you mean work VPN's, email accounts, or something else?

[@AkshayKumar-nu2fi]

@@beardfm yes Stephen, under VPN and device management, for work profiles we need to add the work profile, in IOS I have tried many times to add 2 work profile but it didn't allow, also search for it and it says that we have only add one profile. Please help if we have a way to add multiple work profiles I use google work profile as well as Microsoft intune profile and they both now add in IOS at the same time. If I see android there we have option to create work profile where we have a separate work space and we can install apps in that work space complete isolated from the actual apps, do we not have an option to add here and if not then can you highlight to some bigger forum so that developers can look into it and provide a way. Currently in IT it is very common we have multiple accounts and with each work profile we have separate profiles to add in the iphone and I see iPhone didn't have option to add multiple profile. Can we not create a separate space like containers to install a set of apps in a different space completed isolated?

[@apswoodwork]

Hey. I love Spark, but want the cross-platform and inter-app share functionality of using Apple on board apps; but I really HATE all .pdfs not being icons. If I’m looking at a mail and scroll, any sensitive docs are on show as I go down (invoices, bills, etc). I never worked out how to do this, so I’m using Spark but their privacy policy is a bit sketchy. Any clues how to set this as default?

[@user-ep9fr4hj3c]

way after i see the mail in my phone app after 2 min its disappear but on gmail its still there

[@Whereloveisconcerned]

Is there a way to get special notifications for specific email headlines with certain key words?

[@beardfm]

For something like that you’ll need to create a filter in your email provider and possibly use the VIP feature on iOS

[@mayuuumie]

i wish apple would sync mailbox rules across devices

[@beardfm]

Yeah, this is why I create all my rules on the web on the “server side”

[@gillandalearts3041]

How come my iphone 14 pro max dont have this vip on emails? Im new to ios. 😢

[@beardfm]

It does! Go to an individual mail message, tap the sender, and then scroll down to “add to VIP”

[@joeynym]

Thank you for this tip, I started using the filter w/ unsubscribe which works great but now I notice it takes a lot longer time for iPhone email app to download all the emails. Is that because of this new filter? I have it on fetch.

[@beardfm]

Shouldn’t affect the speed of Mail at all, although if you applied the rule to all past emails it may be reorganizing them which can take a while.

[@joeynym]

@@beardfm gotcha. No I didn’t do that. But I rebooted the phone and now it’s fine so much with my phone acting up. Thanks again.

[@GarrettDoucet-gd6om]

I don't see the "has the words" filter in iCloud preferences. Is there a work around? thanks

[@bambibarnett6052]

Do you know how to open an email (on an iPhone 8 ) that’s got the “Follow Up” tab or button? Many businesses are sending me replies w/this Follow Up feature but my phone starts a new email response back to them when I tap on that tab in their response to me. Resulting in me not being able to see their response. 😢

[@beardfm]

Weird, I have not encountered that yet so I'm not sure. Sorry about that!

[@SrMXP-on2cu]

Great video, new sub here! I have ios 17 latest and when i search in the mail app for specific word and (could be the sender itself e.g.) get the results listed, i click on one of the shown mails to open but then i only see a blank screen (the only thing i see are the 4 symbols at the bottom. This does not happen always, but with certain emails, any idea how i could solve?

[@beardfm]

Thanks for subscribing! Are they older emails? Mail only keeps messages to a certain date locally, but *does* search on your mail server for messages not already downloaded. Its not perfect but I often search in the email services native app when that happens (Gmail, Outlook, Fastmail)

[@SrMXP-on2cu]

@@beardfm Referring to your question: it happened with older and also newer mail, so completely random. By confidence I checked all my settings - mail - and there was a check which was not toggled, which is called: “complete threads “ after turning that on, it now worked. No clue why it now works, but feels great not to reset the iPhone and then setup as a new iPhone

[@J_B_official]

Hey, great video. Do you have a solution to save templates for mails you often send?

[@beardfm]

Thanks! Mail doesn’t have the option built-in, but I would recommend creating some Shortcuts with pre-filled text, and you can even prompt for several pieces of info that differ each time you send a message!

I use three gmail accounts through the mail app and also have two of them signed in on the gmail app. Am I missing anything? I don’t really use Mac iOS

[@beardfm]

What are you looking to do with those accounts? If you want to setup the unsubscribe filter you’ll need to do it on the web at gmail.com for all three accounts.

[@SlabbyMess]

@@beardfm honestly just looking at cleaning my stuff up. I just hate having the gmail app, because I feel the mail iOS app is so much better

[@beardfm]

You certainly don’t need it on iOS if you’re using Mail. The only reason I have it is to Snooze emails so they disappear from the inbox

[@SlabbyMess]

@@beardfm if you snooze them they don’t pop up at all? Or how exactly does it work? Do they all just go to a snooze inbox?

[@beardfm]

When you snooze directly in the gmail app or on the web in gmail, this disappear for you inbox for a set time and will reappear when you say. So you can snooze until tomorrow morning, next week, or set a specific date and time. You can still see snoozed emails in that “folder” in gmail. Apple’s “Remind Me Later” Mail feature doesn’t make them disappear from the inbox.

[@duzzie08]

Why does my mail app show a mail preview it’s so annoying I only want to see my inbox

[@beardfm]

Go to Settings > Mail > under “Message List” go to Preview > None

[@duzzie08]

@@beardfm thank you! However that doesn’t fix the issue maybe I’m not describing it correctly. I’m a 15 year android veteran so all of this is foreign to me 😀. Basically when I go to the mail app it’s like I’m reading an open email as opposed to looking at a list of emails where as on the iPhone mail app it’s a list of emails. I’ve never seen any email like this thanks anyway
