Organize email with folders in Mail on iCloud.com (2024)

Organize email with folders in Mail on iCloud.com (1)

iCloud includes seven default Mail folders: Inbox, VIP, Drafts, Sent, Archive, Trash, and Junk. You can create additional folders and subfolders to organize your email.

When you create additional folders, they’re visible on any device that has Mail turned on in iCloud settings.

To work with folders, make sure the Mailboxes list is visible.

Create a folder or subfolder

In Mail on iCloud.com, do one of the following:

  • Create a new folder: While a default folder is selected, click Organize email with folders in Mail on iCloud.com (2) next to Folders in the Mailboxes list. Type a name, then press Return or Enter.

  • Create a subfolder: Select the folder where you want to add a subfolder, click Organize email with folders in Mail on iCloud.com (3), type the new subfolder’s name, then press Return or Enter. You can also click an existing folder and drag it onto another folder.

  • Move a subfolder to the top level: Click the subfolder, then drag it onto the Folders header in the Mailboxes list.

The folders you create are sorted alphabetically.

Rename or delete a folder

Important: Deleting a folder deletes everything inside it—emails, subfolders, and emails in subfolders.

  1. In Mail on iCloud.com, double-click the name of the folder you want to rename or delete.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Rename a folder: Type the folder’s new name, then press Return or Enter.

    • Delete a folder: Click Organize email with folders in Mail on iCloud.com (4) to the left of the folder’s name, then click Delete.

Move email into a folder

  • If you selected one email: Click Organize email with folders in Mail on iCloud.com (5) at the top, choose a folder or create a new folder, then click Move.

  • If you selected multiple emails: Click Move, choose a folder or create a new folder, then click Move.
