How to get unread mail on top

The eternal quest to keep unread emails at the top!

Here are a few ways to get unread mail to appear at the top of your inbox:

Method 1: Sort by "Unread"

  1. Log in to your email account.
  2. Click on the "Inbox" tab.
  3. Click on the "Sort" or "Arrange" button (it might be labeled as "Sort by" or have a dropdown arrow next to it).
  4. Select "Unread" from the dropdown menu or click on the "Unread" button.

This should move all unread emails to the top of your inbox.

Method 2: Use a filter

  1. Log in to your email account.
  2. Click on the "Filters" or "Rules" tab (this might be located under "Settings" or "Options").
  3. Click on "New Filter" or "Create a New Rule".
  4. Set the filter to move unread emails to the top of your inbox. You can do this by selecting "Unread" as the condition and "Move to top" as the action.

Method 3: Use a third-party add-on or extension

  1. Install a third-party add-on or extension that allows you to customize your email interface. Some popular options include:
    • Boomerang (for Gmail and Outlook)
    • Sanebox (for Gmail and Outlook)
    • SaneBlackHole (for Gmail)
  2. Configure the add-on or extension to move unread emails to the top of your inbox.

Method 4: Use a keyboard shortcut

  1. Log in to your email account.
  2. Press the "U" key on your keyboard (this is a common shortcut for moving unread emails to the top).

Note that the availability of these methods may vary depending on your email provider and the specific settings you have configured.
