Managing incoming mail.
WHAT FOLDERS ARE FOR
Separating mail by type, customer, or project.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Create dozens of folders you never use.
FILTERS
Rules moving mail automatically.
WHERE TO SET THEM
cPanel, which applies them on the server, so they work on every device.
Or in your client, which applies only on that device.
THE SERVER POINT
Server filters are better. They apply everywhere.
WHAT TO FILTER
Notifications into a folder Newsletters into a folder Specific senders into project folders
WHAT NOT TO FILTER
Anything you must see promptly.
A filter moving customer mail into a folder you rarely open loses enquiries.
THAT IS A REAL RISK
WHAT TO BE CAREFUL WITH
Filters that delete Filters matching too broadly
WHAT TO REVIEW
Your filters periodically.
Filters set years ago may be hiding mail you need.
WHAT TO CHECK
Whether anything unexpected appears in your filtered folders.
