Take Control of Apple Mail / Joe Kissell

Master Mail in El Capitan and iOS 9!

You can work more effectively in Apple Mail with expert advice from 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 10.11 El Capitan on your Mac and iOS 9 on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

Joe explains core concepts like special IMAP mailboxes and email archiving, reveals Mail's hidden interface elements and gestures, and helps with common tasks like addressing and adding attachments. He also offers tips on customizing Mail, including a nifty chapter on how simple plug-ins and special automation can dramatically improve the way you use Mail. Joe also covers finding that message in the haystack with El Capitan's new natural language search, improving the messages you send, how digital signatures and encryption work in Mail, and -- perhaps most important -- a strategy for avoiding email overload (the article where he introduced it won an American Business Media's Neal Award for Best How-To Article).
