Apple’s native Mail app has a host of custom commands that make quickly navigating your email simple.

This will open up File Explorer and allow you to select and attach the file you’re looking for.

Apple Mail lets you clear it fast.

It might be worth checking that nothing was mistakenly flagged as junk before doing so.

Or, more likely, ever press send without adding the attachment or CC’ing everyone you needed to?

Most major email clients also support undo send, including Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, and Outlook.

Apple Mail makes it easy to do so with a simple shortcut.

After selecting the email or emails that you want to change the read status for, press Command+Shift+U.
