Use events, contacts, and other items found in emails
When you receive emails that include invitations, dates, times, addresses, phone numbers, and other types of information, you can easily use that information in other apps. For example, when Siri finds an event in a message, you can quickly add it to Calendar.
Add events to Calendar
You can add events and invitations you receive in messages to the Calendar app. If you have an Exchange account, you can reply to invitations sent from Calendar, Outlook, or Outlook Web Access.
Accept a Siri suggestion: Click “add to Calendar” to review the suggested event (you can customize the event by clicking Details), then click Add To Calendar. To decline the suggestion, click the Close button
or Ignore.Add events yourself: Move the pointer over a date or time anywhere in a message until an outline appears around the information. Click the arrow, then click Add to Calendar (shown only if you have already set up an account in Calendar).
Add events for an Exchange account: In the banner at the top of the message containing the invitation, click Accept, Decline, or Maybe. If the event is being canceled, click OK. To view the invitation in Calendar, click the Calendar button in the banner.
Mail sends your reply to the event organizer and updates your calendar on the Exchange server and in Calendar, when it syncs with the server.
Have Mail add events for you: Choose Mail > Preferences, click General, then select Add invitations to Calendar automatically.
Add information to Contacts
When you read messages, you can add email addresses and other contact information to the Contacts app.

The Wallet app on your iPhone or iPod touch (with iOS 6 or later) lets you store “Wallet passes” such as boarding passes, coupons, movie tickets, and so on. When you receive a Wallet pass in Mail, you can add it to Wallet on your iPhone or iPod touch. The pass is also added to Wallet on Apple Watch, if Mirror iPhone is on in the Apple Watch app.
