Unified Folders

In our Unified Folder view, emails from all accounts are consolidated and displayed in one convenient location.

Opening Unified Folders

  • Desktop: To access this view, open the Folder Drawer (click the burger menu at the top left of your Mail List) and then click on the Unified account.

  • iOS & Android: To access this view, open the Folder Drawer (by tapping your account avatar at the top-left corner of the Mail List View) and then long press on the Unified account.

Under Unified, we display all relevant special Unified Folders (dependent on your email provider), such as Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, Spam, Outbox, and Archive. This feature allows you to view and manage emails from multiple accounts in one unified view.

Can I exclude or disable an account in Unified Folders?

No — the Unified view automatically includes every account configured in BlueMail. There is no per-account setting to leave one account out of it (you won't find such an option in the account's settings under Settings | Accounts).

What you can do instead (the paths below are from the mobile app):

  • View one account at a time. Tap the account picker at the top-left of the screen and choose the account you want — you never have to use the Unified view. See switching between accounts and the Unified Inbox.
  • Stop BlueMail from opening in the Unified view. Go to Settings | Global Settings | Advanced Features | Default Account when Launching App and pick Last Visited Account. The same screen also offers Unified (excluding notifications), which keeps the Unified Inbox as your normal starting point while sending you straight to the right account whenever you open BlueMail by tapping a notification. See setting the default account when launching the app.
  • Tell accounts apart inside the Unified view. Give each account its own account color so its emails are easy to spot in the combined list.
  • Remove the account from BlueMail. The only way to keep an account's email out of the Unified view entirely is to remove that account from the app.

If excluding specific accounts from Unified Folders matters to you, tell us at support@bluemail.me — we pass this kind of feedback along to our development team.
