Re: Looking for mail app that can filter messages

[Chris Chaffin]

By filters, I am assuming that you mean message rules, where certain messages would go in particular folders depending on how the rule is set up.  Is this correct? Now the iOS mail app does filter messages, but not in the way I think you are talking about.  When in a folder, like your inbox, at the bottom of the screen, you will find a toggle filter button.  If you double tap this, this will turn on the iOS filtering, and another filter button will appear.  That button will let you choose the type of filtering you want.  In the iOS mail app, you can filter by things like, by messages that are unread, messages with attachments, messages that are flagged, and messages just received today. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think by using the word filtering without giving any more details has given the wrong idea on what you are trying to do. As far as using message rules to filter your messages to different folders, you are correct, you can not set them up in the iOS mail app.  And actually, I do not know of any iOS app that lets you actually set them up.  It has been stated on list before that you can set message rules up on the GMail web site, and then they should show up in any iOS app that you use.  Since you have said that you have already tried this with no success makes me wonder.  I might look into this myself to see what is going on. Again, if you are not trying to set up message rules, please let us know.

Please explain. Apple Mail can create a filter based on any property a message has. On 3/13/2023 9:12 PM, Wayne Merritt wrote: Greetings. I am searching for a mail app that can filter my Gmail messages. I have tried the native iOS mail app, Outlook, and Gmail. All of them have certain things I like and other things I could do without. For instance, the native mail app cannot filter messages. Though Gmail can filter incoming mail, the process for creating the filter could be much easier and straightforward. Also, there are not nearly as many items available in the rotor actions in Gmail as there are in Mail. I have downloaded a few apps from the App Store, but haven't found any that are accessible.
