Regardless of whether you use Mavericks, iOS 7, or both, this topic is about how to do useful
things with Mail—how to bend Mail to your will (to the extent possible) and feel as though
you are genuinely in control of your email. Along the way, I'll show you how to do more with
the parts of Mail that work, and I'll identify and tell you how to deal with as many problems
as I can. But I'll largely ignore basic tasks that you either know how to do already or can figure
out easily by consulting the Help menu. This isn't a comprehensive reference guide; instead,
I'm assuming you already know your way around an email client and mainly want guidance
with less-than-obvious tasks and features.
Several chapters are apply equally to Mail in Mavericks and iOS 7, but most of the topic fo-
cuses on the Mavericks version of Mail, which is only right, since it has far more features (and
problems) than the iOS version. The final chapter,
Use Mail in iOS 7
,
covers the differences
between the two platforms as well as the special strengths, weaknesses, and idiosyncrasies in
the iOS 7 version of Mail.
