I am finally getting used to the new Categories feature, where mail is automatically sorted using a scheme similar to what Google Mail uses (i.e. Personal, Promotions, Social, Updates, …). Though I really like the feature, the category titles don’t all make sense for me in the way I use email. (i.e. I don’t do social media, or use Gmail, but believe the logical sorting of incoming mail into categories makes sense for segregating personal from business, or low priority from more time sensitive messages.) What I would like to see is a feature that allows me to either substitute category names with my preferred naming conventions or add new categories for certain types of mail. (e.g. It would be great to nix Social and add a category called News).
Striker, has this been addressed by EM Client? I would like to have the same options that you have suggested. Are we sure that the categories can’t be changed in the current version?
Thanks -

Are we sure that the categories can’t be changed in the current version?
You can only currently choose / enable the Category options listed in the dropdown “as per your account type” as in the following Gmail account example Category options.
If you would like to have your own Custom named different Categories, then suggest to go to the eM Client Sleekplan share and vote for new ideas page and submit a suggestion.
Thanks for the suggestion to use Seekplan. I never knew of it until today.
Though, currently I believe there is a bug in Sleekplan where there is no option for labeling a post as a New Feature Request. I see that the listed "Post Categories” not to be confused with eM Client “Email Categories”, has a search feature that includes searching by the category “New Feature”. However, when creating a new post in Seekplan there is no option to assign it to the “New Feature” category. "New Feature” is not on the dropdown pick-list presented when creating a post. Or, should my post customizing email Categories go under some other Seekplan category?
Apologies for that. It appears there was some issue with the site. It is now selectable from the list.
For your feature request, best would be for you should post it under MAIL if you have not already done so, as that would be more specific.
