emailmacosmail.app
I am trying to group the folders by email account not by type, if I have three mail accounts:
I want them to be shown in the Mail app, as follow:
- Gmail
- Inbox
- Received
- Junk
etc…
But the way it’s shown as follow
Inbox
- Gmail
- Outlook
- iCloud
Is there any way I can do this with the Mail app in macOS?
Short of getting a different mail client on your iPad I can get you more than half of the way there.
Set up gmail as Microsoft Exchange server (leave the domain blank, add user and password and let it try to connect. When it fails, use m.google.com for the server and you can choose mail, calendar, address data to use ActiveSync)
Once the first mail sync starts, you can then choose days to sync and which subfolders will have push enabled. The mail badge count still only reflects unread messages in the Inbox, but you will get the mail notification sound/vibration for any new push message arriving in your selected subfolders. Your iOS device will be ready to go when you tap into the folders that have new push messages.
Mail.app has a feature called rules that enables you to automate your mail tasks.
You can define rules in the Mail preferences.
