Folders and Organisation
Default Folders
PrMail comes with six built-in folders that cannot be deleted:
- Inbox — incoming messages land here.
- Sent — copies of emails you've sent.
- Drafts — messages you've started but not sent.
- Trash — deleted messages. These are permanently removed based on your auto-purge settings.
- Spam — messages flagged as junk by our spam filter.
- Archive — messages you want to keep but don't need in your inbox.
Creating Custom Folders
To create a new folder:
- At the bottom of the folder list in the sidebar, click + New folder.
- Type the folder name (letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores only).
- Click Add.
Your custom folder appears in the sidebar immediately. You can move messages into it using the bulk actions or by creating email rules.
Deleting Custom Folders
Hover over a custom folder in the sidebar and click the × icon. You'll be asked to confirm. Messages inside the folder will be moved to Trash. System folders cannot be deleted.
Email Rules (Auto-Sorting)
You can create rules to automatically sort incoming emails into specific folders. Go to Settings → Email Rules and click + New Rule.
Each rule has:
- Match field — what to check (From, Subject, To, or Any field).
- Match type — how to compare (Contains, Equals, Starts with, Ends with).
- Match value — the text to look for (e.g.
newsletter@). - Action — what to do (Move to folder, Flag, Mark as read, Delete).
Rules can be enabled or disabled individually without deleting them.
