Apple products come preinstalled with an email client that can, on occasion, be quite smart. Today we want to show you another great feature: suggestions for event and contacts.

Apple产品预装了一个电子邮件客户端，该客户端有时可能非常聪明。 今天，我们想向您展示另一个很棒的功能：有关活动和联系的建议。

Apple Mail has a lot of nice things going for it. For example, you can easily markup attachments and send them back to the original recipient, and then there are Smart Mailboxes, which let you sort email into special “smart” mailboxes without actually moving it from its original location.

Apple Mail有很多不错的选择。 例如，您可以轻松标记附件并将其发送回原始收件人，然后是“智能邮箱” ，您可以将电子邮件分类到特殊的“智能”邮箱中，而无需实际将其从其原始位置移动。

The idea behind event and contact suggestions is simple and not entirely new or original, but quite convenient and powerful. We like it because it makes short work of what has typically been a fairly tedious process.

事件和联系建议背后的想法很简单，并非完全是新的或原始的，但相当方便且强大。 我们之所以喜欢它，是因为它使通常是一个相当繁琐的过程的工作量减少了。

To illustrate what this feature entails, let’s see an example in an email. Here’s an address included at the tailend of a message we received the other day.

为了说明此功能的含义，让我们看一封电子邮件中的示例。 这是前几天收到的邮件尾部的地址。

If we hover over the address, a small arrow indicating a dropdown menu appears.

如果我们将鼠标悬停在该地址上，则会出现一个小箭头，指示下拉菜单。

Clicking on that arrow spawns the following dialog, which gives up three options, we can open the address in Maps, create a new contact, or add it to an existing one.

单击该箭头会生成以下对话框，该对话框提供了三个选项，我们可以在“地图”中打开地址，创建新联系人或将其添加到现有联系人中。

The nice thing is, utilizing this contact-adding method doesn’t even spawn the Contacts application. We can perform the procedure simply and easily from Mail, then go back to attending to our email.

令人高兴的是，利用这种联系人添加方法甚至都不会生成Contacts应用程序。 我们可以从Mail轻松简单地执行该过程，然后返回到查看我们的电子邮件。

In some cases, Mail already knows when an email contains a contact and will alert you at the top of the message.

在某些情况下，Mail已经知道电子邮件中何时包含联系人，并且会在邮件顶部提醒您。

If you click the “Add” button, it will again let you add it to your contacts without first needing to open the actual Contacts app.

如果单击“添加”按钮，它将再次允许您将其添加到联系人中，而无需首先打开实际的“联系人”应用程序。

Here’s another example, this time with an event. In this message, there’s a date and time, which when hovered over with the mouse pointer, again shows us an arrow.

这是另一个示例，这次有一个事件。 在此消息中，有一个日期和时间，当用鼠标指针悬停时，它再次向我们显示一个箭头。

Clicking that arrow will then let us add it to our calendar. At the very least, you might want to add a title to the event, but you can also add or fix the location details and the calendar to which it will be assigned.

单击该箭头，然后让我们将其添加到我们的日历中。 至少，您可能想要为事件添加标题，但是您也可以添加或固定位置详细信息以及将其分配到的日历。

If you click the “Details” button however, you can add further details particularly the location, but also to add an alert, invitees, and notes or attachments.

但是，如果单击“详细信息”按钮，则可以添加其他详细信息，尤其是位置，还可以添加警报，被邀请者以及注释或附件。

Similar to adding contacts, if you receive a message and it detects an upcoming event, you will have the option to add it to your calendar using the “Add” button.

与添加联系人类似，如果您收到一条消息并且检测到即将发生的事件，则可以选择使用“添加”按钮将其添加到日历中。

And, just like before, a dialog will appear that will let you save it to your calendar.

并且，就像以前一样，将出现一个对话框，您可以将其保存到日历中。

Hopefully you can see the value of the suggestions feature in your daily life. Instead of having to create new contacts (or update them) by copying the info from one app to another, this seamlessly lets you add it without ever leaving the Mail app.

希望您可以在日常生活中看到建议功能的价值。 不必通过将信息从一个应用程序复制到另一个应用程序来创建新的联系人(或更新它们)，这使您可以无缝添加它，而无需离开Mail应用程序。

Similarly, if you find yourself often spacing events, you can now add them as soon as they appear in your inbox.

同样，如果发现自己经常出现间隔事件，则现在可以在收件箱中显示它们后立即添加它们。

This should save you lots of time and effort so now that you know where to look for it and how to utilize it, you have one more method to will help you become more organized and reliable.

这应该节省您大量的时间和精力，因此现在您知道在哪里寻找它以及如何使用它了，您还有另一种方法可以帮助您变得更有条理和更可靠。
