How to Create and Manage Email Rules in Airmail

Problem

You want to automatically organize emails (move, label, mark) based on certain criteria.

Solution

On macOS

1. Go to Settings → Rules
2. Click Add Rule
3. Set the conditions:
   • From (sender)
   • To (recipient)
   • Subject contains
   • And more
4. Set the action:
   • Move to folder
   • Mark as read
   • Archive
   • Star/flag
   • Delete
5. Save the rule

Tips

• Rules apply to new incoming emails
• You can create multiple rules and they'll be applied in order
• For server-side rules that work even when Airmail isn't open, create rules in your email provider's web interface (Gmail Filters, Outlook Rules, etc.)
• Airmail rules only apply when the app is running

Common Rule Examples

• Move all emails from newsletters@example.com to "Newsletters" folder
• Mark all emails from your boss as starred
• Auto-archive emails from notification@social.com
