VIPs

VIPs are the people and companies whose mail matters most to you. Tell your AI "treat dana@example.com as a VIP", or add one in the VIPs & rules tab of the inbox view. VIP mail shows first, is marked VIP, and is never archived, trashed, or moved to Spam in bulk.

How do I add a VIP?

Ask your AI in chat. You can add one person or a whole company:

  • "Treat dana@example.com as a VIP."
  • "Everyone at example.com is a VIP."

Or open the VIPs & rules tab in the inbox view, type an address under VIP people or a domain under VIP domains, and choose Add. VIPs are saved to your account, so every AI app you connect uses the same list.

What changes for VIP mail?

  • It is marked VIP in the inbox view, in numbered lists, and on the website.
  • It comes first under Needs you, and has its own VIP filter.
  • It is skipped by bulk actions. To archive, trash, label, or report one as spam, you act on it alone and confirm.
  • The spam filter never moves it to Spam on its own.
  • Your AI asks you before it unsubscribes from a VIP.

Starring, snoozing, and marking read or unread work on VIP mail like any other mail.

How do I remove a VIP?

  • In the inbox view, open VIPs & rules and choose Remove next to the person or domain.
  • On the website, open Settings, find VIPs, choose the ×, and confirm. The website can only remove VIPs, not add them.
  • Or ask your AI to remove one. It checks with you first.
