The mailboxes of the Mail app on our iPhone speak a lot. So we can personalize them

The Mail app on our iPhone or iPad is where we receive emails, send them – with the odd signature of Sent from my iPhone – and most importantly, manage the messages we’ve saved. Stored in multiple mailboxes that allow us to keep some order, These “folders” for our email are the soul of the application.

Therefore, it is important to customize the displayed mailboxes, add new ones, rearrange and organize them important for us to efficiently manage our emails. That without going into the smart mailboxes that organize the mail for us and that, if we already know something about the Mac, can be even more useful on the iPhone.

Our mailboxes are as useful as they are to us

Let’s start with the basics of how to show and hide mailboxes. And attention here, because we can add the email accounts configured by each of us and also, make visible the smart mailboxes that the app makes available to us. We can also hide those mailboxes that we don’t always need to keep an eye on. Showing or hiding mailboxes is very simple, just follow the steps below:

1. We open the Mail app on our iPhone or iPad.
2. On the iPhone, if necessary, we touch the button < mailboxes top left to view the list of mailboxes.
3. We touch the button Edit.
4. We activate or deactivate those that interest us.
5. we play OK.

Special mention for the smart mailboxes Unread, Attached documents or Today. Let’s also look at the button Add mailbox This allows us to make visible on the first page the internal mailboxes of the accounts that we have configured in the Mail app.

Now that we’ve shown and hidden the mailboxes to customize which ones are shown, the next thing to do is we can rearrange them. It might seem like a small detail, but keeping track of the mailboxes we use most often, or grouping some of them together, helps us stay organized. The steps to do this are as follows:

1. We open the Mail app on our iPhone or iPad.
2. On the iPhone, if necessary, we touch the button < mailboxes top left to view the list of mailboxes.
3. We touch the button Edit.
4. We’ll use the handles on the right to drag the mailboxes into the order we’re considering.
5. we play OK.

Finally, let’s discuss how add new mailboxes where our emails will be stored to keep them clean. A very simple process that we too often overlook, resulting in unnecessarily cluttering the Archived folder or entry. Creating new mailboxes is as easy as following these steps:

1. We open the Mail app on our iPhone or iPad.
2. On the iPhone, if necessary, we touch the button < mailboxes top left to view the list of mailboxes.
3. We touch the button Edit.
4. we play along new mailbox.
5. We write the name of the mailbox.
6. We tap on “Mailbox location” and select in which account and in which other mailboxes we want to place it.
7. we play Hold.

As we’ve said before, the mailboxes in the Mail app offer a lot more play than meets the eye. Thanks to the possibility of making disappear the ones we don’t use, adding new mailboxes, showing smart mailboxes and some folders in favorites and being able to organize everything to our liking, we’ll organize ourselves better. Nothing to be saturated by email messages, everything in its place and each location is available for us to access whenever we need it.
