It means that when you get a message in Airmail, you can pull out details you need, you can create appointments and contacts. Most of these actions are ones that Mail don't do, such as sending to To Do apps, and the rest extend what Mail offers. Over and over again, though, it this is ability to do take action on your emails that makes Airmail compelling. That shouldn't be any use at all yet it is: psychologically it actually helps to have it out of the way. That takes it out of your inbox and pops it back in later as if it were a new message. Say you've just got your inbox down to nothing, you've replied to everything and are feeling pretty great - but a new email comes in. This kind of convenient delay can also apply to messages you've received. On the Mac, you get more options up to over a minute. On iOS, it can be set to give you up to 10 seconds to "unsend". Except if you're using Airmail.īy default, Airmail doesn't actually send your email immediately. Whether you've emailed the wrong person or forgotten that vital attachment, it's too late. If you've ever regretted sending an email, you know that this regret hits instantly. However, Airmail even improves on Mail in how you do this. You can, naturally, reply to any email you get. That's what happens on the iOS version all the time as there isn't a Cardhop for iPhone or iPad. If you don't have Cardhop, Airmail is able to add email addresses to Apple's Contacts app. Hit return and they're added, you can see right away that they are - and you can now edit to add notes or extra detail. Cardhop immediately starts creating a new contact card with the sender's name and email address in it. Whereas with Airmail, you can swipe to send the whole email off to Cardhop, if you have that contacts app. More frustratingly, though, we have routinely found that Apple Mail simply doesn't do anything when we choose this option. When that works, Apple Mail literally shows you their card: you can't edit or correct or add to it. So you click again and now that option has changed to Show Contact Card. First you choose Add to Contacts, then you wonder whether it's done it. If you click on someone's name in the From: field when you're using Apple Mail, then you get the option to add them to your Contacts. It might, for instance, correctly interpret "next Tuesday" when you're tapping or clicking on the data detector yet not when you send it to Fantastical.Īirmail is, however, always better at Contacts than Apple Mail - at least on Mac. In practice, mind, we have found that Airmail is a little inconsistent in how it handles events this way. The way macOS and iOS work, an event you create in any of these is immediately also in the other but you spent a lot of money on these alternatives so use their more powerful features. However, you can also choose to send the details to Fantastical or Bus圜al.
That could well be enough for you and if it is, you can click or tap on the data detectors in exactly the same way within Airmail. You can click or tap on it and to create an appointment in Apple's Calendar app. When there's a date or a reference like "next Tuesday" in the body of the message, Apple Mail makes it selectable. One of Apple Mail's best features is its set of data detectors. With Airmail we can swipe on the message and send it straight into our To Do app, OmniFocus. Open the same message in Airmail and stand back: there are about 35 things you can do - and you have some ability to add your own options.įor instance, we often get emails that need us to do something, to perform some task, before we reply. You can reply, of course, or forward, archive, delete and so on. If you open an email message in Apple Mail, you can do a lot with it.
