Tidying up the sidebar with folder groups

Forty folders spread across three accounts can be shown as four drawers.

In short

Nukli can group your folders into themed drawers (Work, Shopping, Family…) in the mailboxes column. It is purely a way of looking at things: emails never move out of their real folder.

Step by step

  1. Open the mailboxes column

    First button in the icon bar. If you have many folders, this is where the mess shows.

  2. Let it propose the groups

    Nukli reads your folder names and proposes sensible drawers. You review them and accept.

  4. Change it whenever

    Groups can be renamed and rebuilt. Nothing is irreversible, because no email has moved.

Tips

Common questions

Will my emails be moved?

No. Groups only join what the screen shows; on the server everything stays put.
