Sync tags between Desktop and Mobile

1

I wonder if it’s possible to sync the tags, that I created in the desktop app to the mobile apps?
Right now I have to set them up manually on both platforms.

Thx :slight_smile:

It depends on the email provider whether they sync with the server or not, and how they sync.

So for different servers it may be we don’t sync the tags, we do sync the message tags, or we sync the tags and manage the list of tags.

Thanks for your answer. On the one hand, the tags themselve sync instantly.
When I add a tag in the desktop app, the mobile app shows the same tag within a second, but:

  1. It shows a completely different color
  2. The tag isn’t visible in the tag manager on the mobile device.

I would expect to have the same tag library acreoss the devices, as this shouldn’t belong to the mailserver, but to the emClient itself`?

Yes, in that case it is because we sync the tags on the message.

We don’t manage the list of tags so you won’t have the colours, and you won’t see them in the list. That option is not supported with your server.

Thanks for your instant response.
Is this a feature you might implement in the future, or nothing you would consider?

It depends on what your email provider’s server supports.

Thanks. I hoped for an independent solution, as it is for example provided by missive.
But good to know, anyway.

Thanks a lot.

Gary, so if I’m following correctly, it will not sync the local tags then? If it will then I haven’t figured out how to make that happen then.
Currently all my tagged emails on desktop client not syncing over to mobile app.

It depends on what the server supports. So:

  1. The tags don’t sync. That means if you tag a message on one device, on the other device it has no tag.

  2. The tags on messages do sync. That means if you tag the message on one device, you see the same tag on the message on another device.

  3. The tags on messages and the list of tags sync. That means you see the tags on the messages on the other device, and if you go to Menu > Tags, you see the list of server tags for that account as well. So if you create a new tag on one device, even if you don’t use it, you will see it in the list on the other device. That is for server tags only, as the list of Local Tags doesn’t sync.
