iOS 18 Adds New iCloud Mail Features

For iCloud Mail users, there are several features coming in iOS 18 that make email management easier. Apple outlined the new functionality in its recently released iOS 18 features list, which covers more than 250 additions to the operating system update.

iCloud General Feature

iCloud Mail Cleanup

There are new cleanup tools that can be accessed for ‌iCloud‌ Mail from the Mail app, iCloud.com, and ‌iCloud‌ Mail settings.

Manage Old Emails

Time-based rules can be added for removing emails that are no longer needed to save storage. The rules use the Mail categories that will be coming in a later iOS 18 update for cleanup actions like automatically deleting or archiving promotional emails that are unread and over a year old.

Unsubscribe and Delete

‌iCloud‌ Mail can help you unsubscribe from senders in bulk, sending future emails from those senders to Trash.

iOS 18 is set to be released on Monday, September 16, but the ‌iCloud‌ Mail functionality may not be added until a later iOS 18 update.

18 years, still doesn’t support Gmail push.
It did in the early days of iOS, Google just pulled out when they made their own app.

Maybe this will be the version that loads messages on a consistent basis.
And promptly update badges and synchronize between devices. I pretty much lost hope on them fixing that, however.

Some of these I might use. I wish we could actually block unwanted mail, instead of it still coming and going to trash.
