Hello
I was forced by my employer to ditch gmail.
I've found that Apple Mail is a pretty good replacement, and I prefer it to Outlook, except for one thing.
When I want to move an email to a folder, Outlook allows you to type the name of the folder, and after a few characters it suggests a few plausible folders, as Gmail also does.
So far as I can tell, Apple mail doesn't. If so, then for me this is a significance drawback. I've hundreds of folders and sub-folders, and it would be very time-consuming every time I want to file an email to have to find the folder to drag it to or otherwise move it to.
Am I missing something, or does Apple Mail really lack this feature?
If it does, do people expect it to get that feature any time soon?
(While I am at it, I loved another feature of Gmail, namely that one can use labels instead of folders, the key difference being the a single email can live in more than one label/folder. Is there any way of getting that on Apple Mail?)
Many thanks for your help; much appreciated.
David
