Mail 4+

Mail is such a great app! Its highlighting feature is its incredible simplicity and modern design with rounded corners. It makes the app a joy to use because everything feels minimised and unobtrusive. I also love its productivity features, such as the ability to flag emails and organise them into different folders. However, there is one feature that I believe is underrated. That feature is Mail’s unparalleled commitment to user privacy. It is remarkably secure. For example, the amazing Hide My Email feature hides your email address and creates a unique random address that forwards to your real address. This alone makes it a great alternative to others, such as the Gmail app, which freely collects an alarming amount of user data. Overall, Mail is a great app and I strongly believe that more users should use it as their primary emailing app!

I use both Outlook & Mail on my iPhone (for different E-Mail addresses). Outlook pretty much works reliably whereas Mail is choppy at best. It’s 50/50 whether I receive a notification on the Lock Screen of new mails. There’s no particular pattern in play (done the usual dance with uninstalling, reinstalling, removing account, changing from a Pop3 to an IMAP etc etc etc). The only sure way of knowing if new mails have arrived is to physically open the app??? It’s a good job it’s not handling my primary address that receives important mails (thank Outlook 👍). Hmmm? It just doesn’t make sense that Apple aren’t dealing with this problematic app 🤔 maybe they assume that their user base mainly use GMail or Outlook so have given up on Mail ? Several months ago Outlook was suffering from a similar notification issue, after much digging (I’ll try and keep it simple here!!) it seems that Outlook use two servers, one to deliver the notification and another to deliver the EMail (once the app is opened!). Needless to say the issue was notification server related. The problem was patched/fixed within a week. It was pretty well documented so stopped users from wasting precious time reinstalling software or in extreme cases the entire OS on the advice of support teams!! I can’t help but think Apple have a notification server issue as per Outlooks issue. However, I’m not an Apple expert so things may work a little different on their app ?? 🤔

TGI Fridays TGI Fridays UK 4 of us visited the Sheffield store on 21/7 at 7pm. My daughter found an hair in her food so that was sent back to be replaced, when returned the side was missing and brought when after she had finished the meal. I asked for a jacket potato as a side instead of fries, was told that there was none available, no peas. Drink refills took about 15 minutes to arrive each time, asked for the bill that didn’t arrive due to short staffing waitress said it’s because the blue light card wasn’t working however she had carried on serving other tables and made no attempt to sort the problem. Waited 15 minutes and the asked to speak to the manager, waited another 15 mins and then I went to find the manager. The manager said she was alone in the kitchen and couldn’t get away to speak to me. Explained the problems that we had, the manager started to smirk and thought the whole thing was a joke and then started to cry, it was bizarre! She said about staff shortages being under pressure etc, deducted a child’s meal and gave 3 desserts as compensation but to be honest £70 later and the experience was awful, I would never recommend this place. The table was booked for a birthday celebration but no acknowledgment from staff. A total shambles and staff are clearly overworked and stressed out!
