Emails are being autotagged as Important and I can't turn it off

[shanemorales]

Yep, pretty much. Been using eM Client for a long time so this is kind of a surprise for me. This doesn’t happen at GMail (the web app) or with other clients so I know it’s an eM Client thing, but all of my incoming email in eM Client is auto-tagged Important. I can’t figure out how to make it stop.

Anyone?

I’m using version 9.0.846 on Windows 11 Home 21H2 22000.493.

Thanks.

See the post extract below from @Hope777 on the following thread.

How to manage/disable automated tagging (orders, social, etc.)

How can i manage or disable this really annoying auto tagging for emails? For example: Every email from PayPal is being tagged as “order”, every email from Twitter is beeing tagged as “social” and so on. I can change the tag to “none” for each email, but there is no option in the settings (or at least i can’t find it) to turn off this automated categorisation. And i even can’t see “orders, social, etc.” in the list of tags to edit them. This makes no sense and is very unprofessional.

“Quote from above thread”

To fix this, you’ll need to adjust your settings online at https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/labels and turn off (hide) all the categories.

The next thing you can do in eM Client is turn off the “important” tag in your account settings by going to Menu > Accounts > (select your gmail account) > IMAP tab > Tags > Show Important Tag > Never
