A good email app to explore is Apple Mail which comes as the default email client on a Mac. You can use Apple&#8217;s mail app or look for alternative email apps that might work better for you. You will need an Internet connection to receive and send emails, as well as access settings from the service provider. If you are using Yahoo mail or Gmail as your regular email service, you may need to check and see if any settings changed after the update that are preventing it from working properly. You can also look into other alternatives such as Outlook or Thunderbird if Apple&#8217;s Mail App does not meet your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the new Newton Mail App to connect your Gmail accounts or any other email accounts across multiple devices. It provides you with control over your email account management. It also works with IMAP accounts, so you can sync Gmail and Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, and other services across both Android and iOS devices. It&#8217;s a great app alternative to Apple&#8217;s best Mac Mail if you&#8217;re a Gmail user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get your email back online on Mac, you need to first delete the mail account from Mail App. To do this, click the plus (+) button from the list of available accounts in Mail App, and then select Delete Account. Once you&#8217;ve deleted the mail account, you can then add a new one. If you&#8217;re using Gmail for example, click the plus (+) button again and select Google under Add an Account. Then type in your Gmail address and password and click Confirm. If you want to keep your emails safe while on Mac, downloading them is recommended. You can do this by using a reliable tool like CleanMyMac X which helps detect all downloaded emails on Mac so that they don&#8217;t take up unnecessary storage space. After downloading your emails with CleanMyMac X, make sure to also spot any available updates for Apple&#8217;s Mail app before setting it up again. This will ensure that its performance remains fast and reliable when running on Mac OSX system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are having trouble getting your email back online on your Mac, then try disabling the Apple Mail app first. To do this, you will need to &#8220;kill&#8221; your email client, which involves quitting the app from the Apple menu. Once this is done, you can then start setting up your email accounts again by restoring com.apple.mail.plist from the Finder on your desktop&#8217;s left corner and flipping the switch in order to enable it. This should restore all of your active email accounts and their associated settings, as well as any important emails or passwords that may have been lost during a fix struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re interested in<\/em><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/do-you-need-cellular-on-apple-watch\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"73072\">Do You Need Cellular On Apple Watch<\/a><strong><em>, take a look at my other article<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re my email inbox is not appearing online, there are a few steps you can take to get your account back online.
