Support - Customizing your Mailbox

December 1, 2022

Customizing Your Mailbox Initial View

In your Preferences Mail page, Default Mail Search shows the initial view when you log into your mailbox. The default search is your Inbox folder, so when you sign in, the contents of your Inbox will show. You can change this to display a different folder, tag, or a saved search when you first open the web client.

  1. Go to the Preferences > Mail page.
  2. In the Displaying Messages > Default Mail Search text box, specify which messages are displayed when you open your mailbox by entering a search keyword followed by a colon, then a folder, tag, or a saved search name. Use quotation marks if the folder or tag is more than one word. For example, you could search in: ”Unread Email”.
  3. Click Save.
