APPLE MAIL – how to bypass inbox straight to a smart mailbox?
Hi everyone,
I am trying to find the best protocol to manage my apple mail.
- To bypass the Inbox, do I need to set up rules in mail preferences?
- Then, if I set up a smart mailbox, they will only appear there, not in the inbox?
- I will need to refile the odd message from smart inboxes. Can I move these to another mailbox manually, or will this not work as I cannot overrider the rule that I have set in mail preferences?
- Finally, any implications for the above on iPad/uphone? Maybe management of?
This is a big issue for things we have bought online (especially online programs) where people only have one email for us for our course details and login but then spam us relentlessly, so I am sure I am not the only person with this problem...
FYI, I am on 10.15.7 Catalina but about to upgrade to Big Sur in the next few days.
Thanks a lot,
Jenni
