In Spark, you can set up a smart folder to filter emails by sender, attachments or content. A smart folder gives you quick access to chosen emails and makes your inbox more organized. For example, if you travel frequently, set up a smart folder for your tickets and reservations, and they appear in a separate folder on the sidebar.
Spark understands natural language; you can type “bookings from Airbnb this year,” and the app finds the referenced emails to create a folder.
Note: Spark for Android currently doesn’t support smart folders, but we’re going to add this feature soon.
Please note: Smart folders exist only in Spark and don 't display on the web page of your email account.
There are several ways to create a smart folder in Spark.
You can add “last week,” “this year,” etc. to filter emails by date.
If you need the emails from a specific sender, enter “from,” start typing the name or an email and choose the sender from the list. To find emails from multiple people, separate the email addresses with commas.
For emails with attachments, type “attachment,” “pdf,” or “document.” Learn more about how Spark smart search works.
You can access smart folders in the Favorites section at the bottom of the sidebar.
Note: If you search for emails from multiple people, choose the first person on the list, insert a comma, and start typing the second name or email.
Alternatively, you can find the smart folder on the sidebar, right-click on it and choose Delete.
Note: When you delete a smart folder, the emails it contains aren’t affected. They are still available in your inbox.
Please make sure you delete a smart folder, not an ordinary folder (e.g. Important, Drafts, etc.). The emails in ordinary folders will be deleted, and this action can’t be undone. You can only delete a smart folder without losing your emails.
