Sort email into views
Mejl sorts new Gmail into your views automatically. Describe what belongs in each view, add Gmail filter rules, or use both.
Updated November 11, 2026
Choose how you want to sort
Gmail filter rules are included on Free. They match exact details such as a sender, subject, or phrase. Sorting by description, which uses AI, includes 10 emails a day on Free, with unlimited sorting on Mejl Plus. Use either method or both. Sorted mail goes into your views, which work like custom inboxes in Gmail.
Create a Gmail filter rule
Open Automatic sorting from the account menu. On the web, it is under Settings. Select a view, then select Sort by rules. Choose what an email must match. Gmail applies the rule to future matching email.
Describe what belongs in a view
Open Automatic sorting and select a view. On the web, you can also open the view and select Auto sort above the email list. Under Sort by description, describe the email that belongs there. For example: “Receipts, invoices, and order confirmations.” Open Preview to see which of your recent emails would move there. The emails that would not move stay in the list, dimmed, so you can adjust the description until the right ones match. Save the description for Mejl to sort new matching email into that view.
Choose between a description and a rule
Describe the kind of email, not one sender. For example: “Newsletters and digests I subscribed to,” “Updates from my kids’ school,” or “Flight, hotel, and train bookings.” Use a Gmail filter rule when you already know the exact sender or subject, because a rule always matches the same way and has no daily limit.
Adjust the sorting later
Return to Automatic sorting to edit a view’s name, description, and rules. On the web, you can also open a view’s three-dot menu in the sidebar and choose Edit. Open Other rules for rules that mark mail as read, forward it, or delete it.
Forward email automatically
Open Automatic sorting, then add a rule under Other rules. Choose what an email must match, such as the senders of your invoices. Then choose forward to and enter an address. Mejl forwards each new matching email from your account, with its attachments, and the forward appears in your Sent folder.
