The unified inbox
Views, folders, search, threaded conversations, and message actions in the Mailtidy unified inbox.
Everything lands in one newest-first stream. The left sidebar switches what you're looking at; the middle pane is the message list; the right pane reads the selected conversation.
Views
You can also filter the stream to a single account from the sidebar.
Folders
Beyond the inbox, Mailtidy syncs your other IMAP folders. The Folders section lists the kinds of mail you have — Sent, Drafts, Junk, Archive, and custom folders — and selecting one filters the stream to it across every account.
All inboxes stays INBOX-only on purpose, so Sent and Junk never flood your main stream. Reach those from the Folders section when you want them.
Search
Press / or click the search bar and start typing. Search runs full-text across all your non-trash mail from every account, newest matches first. Clear the box to return to your current view.
Conversations
Replies are grouped into threaded conversations. The list shows the newest message in each thread with a count; opening it shows every message in the thread, oldest first.
Message actions
While reading a message you can:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mark read / unread | Flags the message \Seen (or clears it) on the server. |
| Archive / Unarchive | Moves the message out of (or back into) your inbox on the server. |
| Delete | Moves the message to Trash — recoverable. |
| Restore | Moves a trashed message back to the inbox. |
| Delete forever | Permanently removes the message from Trash. |
| Reply | Opens a reply from the receiving account, quoting the original. |
These are real IMAP operations. Because sync is two-way, a change you make in another mail app — reading, archiving, or deleting — is reflected in Mailtidy automatically.
Appearance
Mailtidy ships light and dark themes. Choose Light, Dark, or System (follows your OS) under Settings → Appearance.
Most of this is faster from the keyboard. See Keyboard shortcuts.
