We offer various ways to sort and view the emails in your mailbox. Using our View and Sort options, you can sort and view your mail in whatever way makes sense to you.
By default, these options are set to view All mail and sort by newest first.
If you have the reading pane enabled, you can find these options by clicking the icons at the top of your message list:
If you have the reading pane hidden, you can find these options displayed along the top of your message list:
View
The View options allow you to display emails based on what type of emails you want to see:
- All mail: This view displays all emails.
- Unread: This view displays only emails that have not been read.
- Pinned: This view displays only emails that have been pinned.
- VIPs: This view displays only emails that were sent by your VIP contacts.
The view reverts back to All mail if you navigate away from the folder or close your tab.
Sort
The Sort options allow you to sort the order that emails appear in your message list from top to bottom. Options include sorting by time, sender, subject, and size:
