Filter emails in Mail on iPad

You can use filters to temporarily show only certain email messages—the ones that meet all the criteria you select in the filter list. For example, if you select Unread and Only Mail with Attachments, you see only unread messages that have attachments.

You can also specify which email accounts are visible in Mail when a particular Focus is on.

Filter emails

  1. Go to the Mail app on your iPad.

  2. Tap the Toggle Filtering button in the bottom-left corner of a mailbox list.

    Note: When reading a message on iPad in Portrait orientation, tap the Show Sidebar button to display the message list with the Toggle Filtering button at the bottom.

  3. Tap “Filtered by,” select or turn on the criteria for messages you want to view, then tap Done.

To turn off all filters, tap the Toggle Filtering button. To turn off a specific filter, tap “Filtered by,” then deselect it.

Match a mail account to a Focus

You can choose which email accounts to receive notifications from when a Focus is on. For example, you can set a filter to show only your work email account and its notifications when your Work Focus is on.

  1. Go to Settings  > Focus, then tap a Focus.

    If you don’t see the Focus option you want, tap the Add Focus button. See Set up a Focus.

  2. Tap Add Filter below Focus Filters, then tap Mail.

  3. Select the accounts you want to see in your inbox during that Focus.
