Problem

You want to customize which buttons appear in the Airmail toolbar and message action bar on Mac.

Customizing the Toolbar

  1. Right-click on the toolbar area at the top of Airmail
  2. Select Customize Toolbar
  3. Drag and drop icons to add or remove toolbar items
  4. Available items include: New Message, Reply, Forward, Archive, Delete, Flag, Move, and more
  5. Click Done when finished

Customizing the Action Bar

The action bar appears when you hover over or select a message. To customize it:

  1. Go to Airmail → Settings → Actions
  2. Configure which actions appear on swipe and hover
  3. Set up custom action sequences for one-tap workflows

Custom Actions

Airmail lets you create custom action sequences that chain multiple actions together:

  1. Go to Settings → Actions → Custom Actions
  2. Tap + to create a new custom action
  3. Chain actions like: Mark as Read → Move to Folder → Apply Label
  4. Name your custom action and save
  5. The action will appear in your action bar and right-click menu

Tips

  • Custom actions are powerful for repetitive workflows
  • Actions sync across devices when iCloud sync is enabled
  • Create separate action sets for different email accounts
  • Right-click on a message for a full list of available actions
