You'll soon drop Apple Mail once you realize its flaws. Get Outlook.

Mail.app does have its flaws but it depends on how hard you push it and what you expect out of it because right now Outlook 2011 has its own set of problems that really need addressing - I've found for example Exchange support on Mail.app and Office365 less problematic for example. End of the day it is about choosing the application that sucks the least and running with it - when it comes to Office I'm going to hold off till we the public hear about the next version because right now it is a Carbon/Cocoa frankenstein whose flaws are so many the only saving grace is file compatibility (and even that isn't perfect).

Sorry, I didn't realize expecting an email written in a custom font to arrive with custom fonts as"pushing it". Try it and you'll see that the nice email you wrote only looks nice in your sent items. The receiving end only gets the default font.

Making account in imap is (no hard feelings) a waste of time when you have thousands of emails to transfer. First I have to upload all the emails one by one to imap and after creating an account in apple mail, download all these mails.

any other ideas.

True unfortunately. Managing attachments appropriately is impossible with Mail.

You will understand why if you use it and get replies that your emails are incomplete. Took me 3 months to realize and I switched immediately :)

I think that this is a problem with HTML email in general, not Mail.app as a client.

Mail on OS X and iOS were actually some of the first email clients to support @font-face.

I send emails to communicate, not to 'express my creativity' through font types - why someone needs anything other than the standard font type for sending emails god only knows.

Apple Mail is fine as a mail client. It does the job - I've used it for years with no major issues. I've never had anyone complain about attachments/incomplete emails, and I have no intention of ever using multiple fonts in an email. You shouldn't be using non-standard fonts in email anyway. Under most circumstances my emails go as plain text - some people (myself included) still use CLI clients on a regular basis.

If you're coming from outlook it'll probably be a breath of fresh air :p

O2M is by far the most reliable.

Maybe because font types are not used only to "express your creativity", but rather to format content or create a layout. Think further away than Comic Sans MS.

Again, this has nothing to do with Mail.app as a client. This is a limitation of HTML emails. All clients are affected. You can't embed a font into an HTML email. So, if your recipient doesn't have the font installed on their machine, their email client will default to something else.

This is not true anymore with HTML5 / CSS3. I think we were talking about general fonts here though, not specialized ones.

Mail client support for HTML lags behind browsers.

If your recipient has the font that you've used in your HTML email, they see the text as intended. Obviously. It's not a Mail.app issue.

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
