How to remove the "Other" tab?

[linski]

dear Forum members,

If, under favorites, I select “All inboxes”,
then in the overview I see a “Primary” and “Other” tab.
What is the function of this “Other” tab?
Why do I see messages in both “Primary” and “Other” tab?
Which criteria decide which emails land in “Primary” tab and which emails land in “Other” tab?

How can “Other” tab be switched off?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

“eM Client now supports category tabs in your Inbox, so you can have the most important messages at the ready while the newsletters, social site updates, and other emails are categorised into separate sections for your convenience”.

“There are several options: use just two categories (Primary and Other), Google style model (Primary, Promotions, Social, …), add or remove other options (All, Updates, Forums, Other, …), and mix and match based on your preference”.

See my post on the following thread on “Category assignment” and options you can do.

Category assignment

I do not know how Emclient assigns categories eM Client “uses an algorithm that determine the message categories”. We don’t know on this forum exactly how it works, only that you can change the message category if it’s not right. My only option seems to be disabling the feature which is a shame and a waste of effort. Perhaps I am missing something. I do not want to have to check each category in case the wrong If there is a message/s that is going into a Category “where you don’t want it …

Customizable email classification into Inbox Categories

eM Client now supports category tabs in your Inbox, so you can have the most important messages at the ready while the newsletters, social site updates, and other emails are categorized into separate sections for your convenience.

There are several options: use just two categories (Primary and Other), Google style model (Primary, Promotions, Social, …), add or remove other options (All, Updates, Forums, Other, …), and mix and match based on your preference.

For Gmail accounts, categories are synchronized from the server while eM Client uses its own algorithm to sort messages for other accounts.

If the default categorization does not fit your preference, drag the message into a different category tab or change the category via right-click on the message > Category and assigning the right one for you! You can also merge different categories together, if you perhaps want to see your Social updates in your Primary inbox.

Together with this option come Custom rules for category organization – when moving a message, it is possible to set any new messages from the same sender to go into the same category and you can also move all older messages into this category.

Custom rules and all category settings can be modified or removed in menu > Settings > Mail > Categories section.
