The only app, or service, you will never be able to be without is email.
And on the Apple Mac, the only app that works best is Apple Mail due to its power of simplicity and the ‘it just works’ ethos.

Summary
After years of using different email apps, I keep coming back to Apple Mail because of its simplicity is its power. Most problems come from the email server, not Apple Mail itself. Mail is for getting in information, dealing with it, and getting out of the app. So you don’t need a bunch of fancy features. The power of simplicity in Apple Mail is amazing.

Being in business for such a long time, I’ve come to realise over the years, obviously, that the most important tool in my toolkit is mail.
And now I’ve been using different mail apps, obviously. I went from Hay to Outlook. I even used Entourage, which is a quite old one, which is a Microsoft product. Thunder, but I’ve used all of them. And I keep coming back to the most powerful one. And I’ll say powerful because of its simplicity is Apple Mail.
Now, Apple Mail, even though it’s simple, it’s got some insanely powerful features that no one kind of understands. And that powerful feature is its simplicity. Yes, it doesn’t have certain features. In fact, the next operating system is going to come out with some new features. To be honest, I always thought I wanted, but I don’t think I would ever use. But I know lots of people want it, not need it. They want it because every other email app has this function. So they want it in Apple Mail. But that’s kind of stupid talk.
The point of having a tool is to be able to use it. Get in, use it, get out. Don’t dwell on it. Oh, this isn’t working. Oh, that’s not working. And Apple Mail has been pretty solid throughout. Now, people do have problems, but most of the time you’ll find out that the problems lie with the server that they’re using rather than the Apple Mail application itself.
The power of simplicity within Apple Mail is so amazing, and I keep going back to Apple Mail. In fact, I know other coaches and consultants who do what I do actually only use Apple Mail for themselves. Now they install things like, you know, Gmail and Outlook and so on for their clients because their clients actually require it. That’s a different thing. If I’m working with a client that needs a specific function, specific tool because of their servers or whatever, then I find the right tool. But majority of clients that I have actually just use Apple Mail. And they’re good enough with Apple Mail.
Think about what mail is. Mail is you get something in, you deal with it, and then you get out of mail. There’s nothing. What do you want it to do? Make you coffee. It’s stupid to think that you want all of these features in an app that you just never going to use or never want.
So Apple Mail and the power of the, of power of simplicity within Apple Mail is amazing because I don’t dwell on things when I’m in there. I can see it. It’s a white piece of paper, effectively. It’s a white page. I see everything coming in. I deal with it, whether it’s deal with it there or later. And then I get out. The power of simplicity within Apple Mail is great.
