Apple’s Mail app has become one of my favorite email clients. Its very well-designed interface and tons of features make it ideal for a large number of users. For example, if you often forget to reply to important emails, the reminder function might just save the day.
Thanks to the function Remind me, you select the email in question, set the reminder and you’re good to go. At the time you set for the reminder, the email will automatically appear at the top of your inbox with the mention reminder.
Since I started using this feature, I haven’t forgotten to reply to a single important email. Considering how many “important” emails I receive, this feature has been a big help.
