'With our new Handoff feature, you can pick up tasks where you left off between iOS and Mac devices, so you can get up and go without missing a beat.'

'We know life is multifaceted and Outlook is leveraging the Apple platform to support you by making it easier to switch contexts,' he adds. Calendar events are also coming to the Menu Bar 'soon,' Perdue says. Mac users can view their Outlook calendars using a widget and see reminders in the Notification Center. So even if you forget to mark something as unread right away, it won’t disappear until you navigate away from the mailbox, rather than when you navigate away from the message.Perdue notes that the 'new Outlook is optimized for Apple Silicon, with snappy performance and faster sync speeds than previous versions.' Read messages will disappear if you have the filter set to hide them, but it doesn’t hide anything until you move away from a mailbox. I lost a possible TidBITS sponsorship that way, since the message I needed to reply disappeared on me and by the time I’d remembered and found it again a few days later, the window had closed. Spark supports it just fine, but it’s all too easy to leave a message selected in between sessions, come back, and switch to another message, inadvertently marking the first one as read and having it disappear instantly. My preferred style of working is to mark messages I want to come back to as unread. (Mimestream handles this perfectly-you set a default address and it’s used for everything, end of story.) Plus, some mailing list posts failed because they didn’t come from my subscribed address. This annoyed me to no end, and even now, I’m getting a lot more mail from people who saw my Gmail address when they weren’t supposed to. Spark lets you set a default address, but for certain messages, such as those from mailing lists or BCCs, replies get sent using the Gmail address, not the one I set. My address is hosted at Gmail, but I want everything to come from and go to (which works through easyDNS’s easyMail service).

Mailplane works well with images.Īlthough Mimestream’s image handling isn’t great either, I’ve been using it for a while because I found Spark just too problematic in a couple of important ways. I agree, Spark’s image handling is terrible.

Is outlook better than apple mail
