How to View Starred / Flagged Emails in Airmail
Problem
You've starred or flagged emails in Airmail but can't find them all in one place.
Solution
On macOS
- Look in the sidebar for the Starred (or Flagged) folder
- Click on it to see all starred emails across all accounts
- If you don't see it, go to Settings → Favourites and enable the Starred folder
On iOS / iPadOS
- Tap the sidebar/hamburger menu
- Look for Starred in the folder list
- If not visible, go to Settings and enable it in the sidebar configuration
How to Star an Email
- Mac: Click the star icon next to the email, or select the email and press L
- iOS: Swipe on the email and tap the Star action, or open the email and tap the star icon
Tips
- Starred emails sync across all devices since the flag is stored on the server
- In Gmail, "Starred" and "Flagged" are the same thing
- You can use different colored flags on Mac by right-clicking the flag icon
