Arrange Mail your way

The sidebar#

• Press Edit sidebar at the bottom of the sidebar. Every place gets an eye: press it to put that place under More, and press it again to bring it back. Press Done when you are finished.
• Places under More are one press away: More at the end of the list opens them. Its number adds up what is waiting in those places, such as unread mail in Spam, senders in the Screener and drafts, and it shows no number when nothing is waiting.
• To begin with, Flagged, Snoozed, Scheduled, Attachments, Archive, Spam and Trash wait under More, so the sidebar starts with the places you open every day. Your inbox always stays.
• A place you are looking at always shows in the sidebar, even when you put it under More.
• Press the name of a section, such as Folders or Labels, to fold it away or open it again.
• Your choices are saved with your account, so they follow you to every browser.

Flags#

In Settings, General, Flags lets you give each of the seven flags a name and a colour, for example Waiting in blue or To pay in red. Menus, the Flagged list and what is read aloud use your names. Your rules and filters keep working, because each flag stays the same flag underneath.

Folders and labels#

Right-click a folder, or use its options button, and choose Colour to give it a colour. Right-click a label to choose its colour or delete it. Pick one of the colours shown, or Pick any colour for any colour at all.
