How many email messages do you write, send, read, reply to, forward and print every day? Lots, probably. Where do you do it? Everywhere, naturally. How do you keep up? Easily, surprisingly. iPhone 4S brings you new ways to do all things email.
Have email, will travel.
You’re always in the loop with iPhone, because your email goes wherever you go. iPhone works with popular email providers including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, and AOL — and most industry-standard IMAP and POP mail systems. And it supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync accounts for business.
Look at email in a whole new way.
The high-resolution Retina display makes text so crisp and clear, it will literally change the way you see your email. Zoom in as much as you want — the amazing pixel density of 326 pixels per inch renders text beautifully at any size, with no distracting pixelation.
Many accounts. One inbox.
With iPhone, there’s more than one way to see your messages if you have more than one account. Check each inbox separately and easily switch between them. Or, for a faster look at your new messages, view email from all your accounts at once in the unified inbox.
Follow the thread.
You can organize your messages by thread — a chain of replies in an email conversation. Mail quickly identifies all the messages in a thread and groups them together under the most recent message. And Mail sorts them by date and lists how many messages are in the thread. So it’s easy to keep track of an entire conversation.
Type smart.
The intelligent, software-based keyboard predicts what you write and checks your spelling as you type. Tap to correct a misspelled word. Tap to cut, copy and paste text. Tap the microphone to dictate an email. You can write in portrait or landscape — the keyboard works both ways.
See what’s attached.
iPhone supports rich HTML email, so images appear inline with text. You can see attachments such as Microsoft Office documents or PDFs in their original format and open them in compatible third-party apps. If you need a hard copy, print messages and attachments with AirPrint.1
Find the hidden message.
Searching is smart on iPhone. Search for words or sentences within a message. Search by subject, sender and recipient. Even search for messages and contacts that aren’t on your iPhone — search scours the remote email server.
Mail, the iCloud way.
With iCloud, you get a free me.com email account that works great with Mail on iPhone. It’s ad-free and protects against spam. And once you set it up the way you like, all your folders stay up to date, no matter which device you’re using.2
