With rules, whatever comes from someone or has a certain word in the subject goes on its own wherever you say: to a folder, to Archive or to the Bin. Rules run when email arrives and also when you refresh the inbox.
Create a rule
- Tap your photo at the top of the inbox and go to Settings → Inbox rules
- Under If it comes from, type the sender’s address or name, or part of it (for example, a company’s domain)
- Under Or the subject contains, type the word you are looking for. You can fill in just one of the two fields
- Under THEN, choose what to do
- If you choose Move to…, tap the destination folder
- Tap Create rule
The five actions
- Move to…: takes it to the folder you choose
- Archive: takes it out of the inbox and keeps it in Archive
- Mark as read: it stays in the inbox, but without the unread marker
- Star: marks it with the star
- To the Bin: sends it straight to the Bin
⚠️ Important: if you fill in both fields, the rule only applies to emails that match both at once: from that sender and with that word in the subject. If you want either one to be enough, create two rules.
See and remove your rules
Below, under YOUR RULES, you have the list with what each one does. To remove one, tap the bin on its row and confirm with Remove. Emails it has already moved stay where they are. You can have up to 50 rules.
💡 Tip: you don’t need a rule to stop someone appearing in your inbox: block them or unsubscribe from their newsletter.
If you see The rule could not be created., check that you have filled in at least one field and, for a move rule, that you have chosen a folder. If it keeps failing, write to us from Settings → Help and support or at support@aiden.es.
