Airmail is a powerful mail client for Mac, now available for iPhone. Designed for the latest generation iPhone and iOS9, it supports 3D Touch, fast document previewing, high quality pdf creation. Even if you use webmail from time to time, or use webmail in addition to a desktop client, many of us are still using desktop apps to manage email, and those apps are only getting better, faster. But just installing a new mail app doesn’t mean the default Mail app will stop working and notifying you. Unlike Android, you can’t choose defaults for mail and browser on iOS. This way I immediately know if I should stop what I’m doing and glance at my iPhone. I also use VIP as a way to filter out noise. There are emails from certain people I want on my Lock screen, but many others I don’t want in order to conserve precious battery life.
Welcome to Mac Mondays! Each Monday, the team at CNET How To goes in-depth on ways you can improve your Mac. We'll talk performance upgrades (for old and new models), hardware hacks, and workflow tips. This is where you'll go to find out how to release your Mac's potential and make the most of your purchase.
The way I see it, you have three options with the Mail app in OS X to keep a lid on the number of emails flooding your inbox.
There are two obvious options. You can simply delete messages (while remembering to empty Mail's trash on occasion). Or you can archive messages, which keeps them in Mail and still accessible in the All Mail mailbox.
A better way is to use Mail's Export Mailbox feature. Full disclosure: using this feature requires a bit of upfront work on your work. That is, you'll need to create mailboxes for groups of messages. If you do, however, you can then export your mailboxes, which creates an .mbox file on your computer.
First, let's back up. To create a mailbox, open Mail and go to Mailbox > New Mailbox. Your mailboxes show up in the left sidebar of the Mail window. You can drag and drop messages to your mailboxes, which removes them from your Inbox in the process. So already, you are gaining some semblance of control over your Inbox.
To export a mailbox, select the mailbox from the sidebar and choose Mailbox > Export Mailbox. Alternatively, you can right-click on the mailbox in the sidebar and choose Export Mailbox. Next, choose a destination for the .mbox file and click Choose.
(Note: if you export the same Mailbox after it fills up again with messages, Mail does not overwrite the first exported .mbox file but creates a new file -- Completed Tasks 2.mbox, for example.)
Now, exporting a mailbox does not clear out its contents. After exporting, if you then want to get rid of a mailbox's messages, you will need to delete the mailbox or, if you want to keep the mailbox but not its messages, you will need to move all of its messages to Mail's trash.
Should you want to look at messages you previously exported, you can import them back to Mail or another email app; the .mbox format is a common file format and can be read by other email clients. To import back into Mail, open Mail and go to File > Import Mailboxes. Next, choose Apple Mail from the Import window and click Continue. Lastly, select the .mbox file you want to import and click Choose. For each imported mailbox, Mail creates an Import folder in the On My Mac section its sidebar.

Clutter grows fast and it doesn't matter if that clutter is physical or digital -- on your Mac, there's nowhere it accumulates faster than in Mail. And from time to time, it's good to tame your email box. Here's how it's done.

We're going to look at a quick and easy way to archive your old messages from Mail. There are lots of reasons to do this, not least that once your mailboxes become really large you'll often experience slow Mail performance on your Mac. You can archive these messages without losing them.
Things to know:
Step one
Launch Mail and choose Mailbox>New Mailbox. Now name the mailbox (Archive 2011-12, for example) and choose On My Mac as the location. Press OK and the mailbox appears in the list at the left.
Step two
Select the messages you wish to archive. You might want to choose all the mail you received between 2011-2012, if that happens to be appropriate to you. Once you've selected the messages you wish to archive, drag-&-drop them into your new Archive mailbox. Repeat this until all your messages are tucked away there.
Step three
With all your messages in the Archive, it's time to export them. Control-click on the mailbox name in the list on the left, and select Export Mailbox… from the contextual menu that appears. You can also do this by choosing the mailbox and using Export Mailbox in the menu.
Step four
Choose where to save your archive, but remember to check Export all subfolders, if you have any, to export. Click Choose.
Step five
Exporting your mail will take time -- it could take a long time. You might want to go do something more interesting for a while.
Step six
Once export is complete, you'll see an mbox file icon appear where you exported the Mailbox too. Do check to make sure all the mbox files and subfolders you created are there.
Step seven
Now delete the Archive you created in Mail by Control-clicking the mailbox and selecting Delete Mailbox. Don't worry -- all your messages are already saved in your exported Archive.
Step eight
Whenever you need to search messages stored inside that archive, you should launch Mail and select File>Import Mailboxes, (select Apple Mail as data format). Click Continue and navigate to the exported archive(s) on your Mac, select the right collection and click Choose. In a little while, all your archived mails will reappear in Mail. Find the ones you need and copy, print or move them. Now, you can delete the Archived Mail you just imported (Right-click, Delete Mailbox) -- all your archived mail remains safe in the originally exported box.
This is how to cut clutter from Mail without losing any important messages. I agree it's an unwieldy process, so I'm looking at several third-party Mail archiving solutions that should be more straightforward to use for a future post.
I hope this short report helps you take control of Mail.
