An EASY Trick to CLEAN Your E-Mail Inbox - Apple Mail

  • 👍Here is an EASY and FREE trick to clean out your e-mail inbox using the "rules" feature in Apple Mail to identify the common characteristics of messages that tend to be junk.
    SUBSCRIBE!!! bit.ly/TTASubsc...
    Please note: This feature will be best left ON for some people and for others it may be best to just simply turn this feature on and then off quickly as needed (especially anyone in business who may be receiving business-related messages from people whom they have not previously corresponded.)
    In order for this to work on your computer, you are going to need a Mac and have your e-mail linked up with the Apple Mail application. This can also be done in Outlook and perhaps some kind person will leave the instructions for how to recreate this feature on a Windows PC in the comments section.
    STEP 1: Create A Mailbox
    This is so we have a place to store all the messages that are about to be identified as "probably junk." You could also optionally use the pre-existing "junk" mailbox, however because there is a certain risk of missing legit e-mails, I tend to recommend keeping them separate.
    STEP 2: Create Your Rule
    The two main aspects of this rule involve people who are not already saved into your contacts and people who are NOT previous recipients (meaning at some point in time you have corresponded with each other).
    Once the emails have been filtered, consider sorting the messages by who they are from (instead of the date). This will make clearing out groups of messages a lot faster.

    I appreciate the effort. Instead of going through this complicated process though and risk getting important mails pushed into that junk folder you could just scroll to the end of the emails and hit unsubscribe. Thats it. Done. Also when u sign up somewhere just uncheck the newsletter tickbox. That way you dont get any mails you dont want.

      Make sure the mails are deleted in Exchange if you're using it. Note that the search includes Bin folder as well. In case you search for deleted emails it may reappear. You can uncheck the Bin option from Preferences > General > Bottom most option to not include in search.

  • @cosmicvoid6202
    @cosmicvoid6202 3 года назад

    Great video. I was looking all over for a way to organize my inbox better. While I like the Smart Mailboxes option, it doesn't quite do what I want. I want those emails to be moved out of my main inbox like having different folders in Outlook. I can do that with the Mailboxes option.Then just add those to my favorites and change the "unread count" and "notifications" preferences to "All Mailboxes". Now I can still be alerted to new emails that are only going to show in those folders or "Mailboxes" :) It is unfortunate that you can't apply the rules to your whole account though. You just have to do it on one device like your Mac and it will sync across the others as long as your Mac is online.

    And I already did this from watching your video but from what I see it only moves new emails... Is there something to do to move read emails to this junk mailbox I created??
    Thanks,

    Double check that Rule: I think it should be - If ALL of the following are met. With ANY specified you will move emails from senders in your contacts that you’ve not emailed before, and move emails from people you’ve emailed but are not in your contacts; not quite what you were hoping for.
