Organize email: folders, stars, archive, tags and deleting

Mark emails as read, star them, archive them and tag them. The changes show in your original mailbox too.

The Edit permission on the provider, and Delete to delete
  • You need: The Edit permission on the provider, and Delete to delete

Steps

1
Use the folders: Inbox, Draft, Sent and Archived, and the Starred filter.
2
Use Mark as read, Add star, Archive or Move to Inbox.
3
Add a tag from the workspace’s tag list.
4
Delete the email.
It moves to your mailbox’s Trash. Corteksa has no Trash folder, but the email still shows in the client record’s Mail tab, marked Trash.

How it works

Tags: the same workspace tags used in records and chats. Each mailbox has two options: sync both ways with the mailbox (the default), so the tag shows as a label in Gmail or a keyword in IMAP; or keep tags inside Corteksa only.

When syncing is on, all of the workspace’s tags are created in the mailbox in the background. Switching to CRM only doesn’t touch the existing labels.

Labels you add in Gmail are imported. System labels, such as Inbox and Sent, aren’t imported as tags.

Archiving and unarchiving don’t duplicate the email, even if you move it from another email app.

There are no Trash or Spam folders in Corteksa.

If something goes wrong

Why
What to do
The tag doesn’t show in Gmail
The mailbox is set to CRM only, or the mailbox refused the tag.
Turn it on with Tag sync in Settings → Mailboxes.
I can’t delete

A real example

Namaa Academy
The situation

The coordinator wants to know which companies agreed to sponsor.

What they did
  1. She put an “Approved” tag on the approval emails.
  2. The tag also showed as a label in Gmail.
The result

She finds the approvals from Corteksa or from Gmail.

A made-up company, to show the idea. The numbers are rounded.
