How to refresh the Mail app on your Mac computer to make sure you're getting new emails in all inbox

Using the Mail app on your Mac computer is extremely convenient, and it's easy to refresh your inbox and make sure you've seen all new messages.

The Apple program is great for linking multiple email accounts in one location. While new emails should automatically appear when the app is open, sometimes incoming messages can get stuck in the server or you may want to reload the page if it's slow.

To refresh Mail, you can press the envelope icon to get new messages in all of your linked accounts. You can also use a shortcut method or select the option from the "Mailbox" dropdown menu.
