The unified inbox

Every account in one list, in threads, grouped the way you like, with swipes and bulk actions.

Every Fastmail account in one list, in threads, grouped the way you like.

01 · Mailboxes

The Mailboxes screen has All accounts on top: All Inboxes, All Drafts, All Sent, All Archive, All Junk, All Trash and Flagged, each across every account. Under it, each account with its own folders and its Notes, then Settings. Every section folds, and the app remembers how you left them.

  • The top bar: Contacts, fold or open every section, Search, Chat and a new message.
  • Reorder folders, under All accounts, puts arrows next to each of them to move it up or down; Done keeps the order.
  • Mark all as read: press and hold any mailbox, or use the double tick in the tools row of a list.
  • Empty Trash or Junk: press and hold it and choose Empty. A second tap confirms, and the messages are deleted for good, on Fastmail too.
02 · The tools row of a list

Under the title of every mail list, one row of tools:

  • The pencil writes a new message.
  • Search, and Chat with an Opensolr account and AI in its plan. See Searching and Chat with your mail.
  • Filters opens the search with its filters, when search runs on Opensolr. See Filters and groups.
  • Group: by day (the default), month, sender, company or account, or no grouping. Next to it, fold or open every group.
  • The double tick marks the whole list as read, when it has unread mail.
03 · The message list
  • Threads. A conversation is one line, with the number of messages in it and, under the subject, the first lines of the message: 2 by default, 1 to 4 in Reading settings.
  • Swipe left to delete, right to flag. A swipe to delete asks first, and both show an undo bar; turn either off in Settings → Preferences → Swipes.
  • Select by pressing and holding a conversation, or press and drag over several. The bar at the bottom then marks them read or unread, flags them, forwards them as attachments of one new message, archives them, reports them as spam or deletes them, each after a confirmation. In Trash and Junk it starts with the way back to the Inbox.
  • Fast scroll with the handle on the right edge, with a small tap at every date you pass.
  • Pull down to check for new mail.
04 · Reading and writing
  • Each message in a conversation has Reply, Reply all, Forward and Copy. The quoted history under a message is folded: Show quoted text opens it.
  • Tap a name or an address to copy it. Save any attachment to the phone.
  • Pictures from the web are off by default: show them for one message, for every message of a sender, or always. See Reading settings.
  • The pencil writes a new message, with attachments up to 25 MB, from any of your accounts, with your signature under it.
