OS X Mail makes it easy to add events from emails to Apple Calendar. With a small setup, you can automatically push dates and times from the Mail application to your Apple Calendar.

When Mail detects date and time info, along with words like “on,” next, or “due,” it turns that part of the message into a link you can use to add an event. Here’s what to look for and how to use it.

Open the Mail app and click on the message containing the event information.

When you hover over the relevant text, a box will appear with an arrow on the right.
