Now, Mac Mail also supports color and that essentially highlights the email which does the trick, but it’s still not bumped to the top of the list like pinning (I could perhaps live with that), but worse: it doesn’t propagate to the iPhone because it’s client side only and that makes this useless too. The message would need to be highlighted within its folder because those are topical (projects) and that’s where I’ll be looking for them. And there would be dozens of these flagged messages, so just having a high-level collection of flagged or starred emails does no good. Now SMTP doesn’t support Notes style pinning – so what can you do? On the Mac there’s flags, but that doesn’t really highlight the message for me within its folder. And obviously that pinning would need to be supported server side so iPhone Mail highlights those same messages once they’ve been “pinned” on the Mac and vice-versa. FYI, you can get push notifications with Gmail in the Apple Mail app if you pay for G Suite. If I’m expecting an immediate message in my Gmail account, I just open the Mail app and let it refresh.
I have push notifications for the other accounts. So essentially I’d like to be able to pin an email within its folder to the top (otherwise everything is date sorted) like we can do in Notes. One of the accounts is a regular, unpaid Gmail account. So here’s the problem: using Mail on a Mac and an iPhone, work mail is hosted on Gmail, hundreds of folders with hundreds of emails, but some of those emails are important and I’d want to be able to grab them quickly for reference.
