How to Manage Multiple Email Identities in Airmail
Problem
You have multiple email accounts or identities and want to manage them efficiently in Airmail.
Adding Multiple Accounts
- Go to Settings → Accounts
- Click + to add a new account
- Repeat for each email address you use
Per-Account Settings
Each account in Airmail can have its own:
- Signature — Different signatures for work vs personal
- Default Send-From — Set which "From" address is used by default
- Notification Preferences — Get notified for some accounts but not others
- Sync Settings — How many days/messages to sync per account
- Color Indicator — Assign colors to visually distinguish accounts
Choosing Send-From Identity
On Mac
- When composing, click the From field
- A dropdown shows all your accounts and aliases
- Select the identity you want to send from
Smart Auto-Detection
When replying, Airmail automatically selects the account that received the original email. This ensures you reply from the correct identity without manual selection.
Tips
- Set your most-used account as the default in Settings
- Use account colors to quickly identify which account received an email
- Create Smart Folders to combine inboxes from specific accounts
- Aliases must be set up at the provider level before they appear in Airmail
