Mail app smart folders

Hi,

Is there a way to have smart folders in the Mail app on my iPad and iPhone like I have them on my Mac Mini?

It seems so weird that with all the Apple synchronisation abilities, that this seems to be impossible?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

Important emails Is there a way to create a folder in the Apple mail app where I can transfer emails into it and still be able to view them on my phone? The “Important” folder that is offered under Gmail is only accessible through the Gmail app or website. I prefer Apple mail’s design though. But anytime I try to create a similar folder, the only options are under Gmail and then once I create that folder, it disappears on my Apple Mail

Smart Mailboxes on device for iOS and iPadOS? Is there a way that we can bring smart mailboxes that exist on the macos Mail app and allow them to be created locally per device on iOS and iPadOS? The only way that I am able to create like features from Gmail and Spark for sorting emails from multiple email accounts is to create my own smart folders and tailor with a ton of rules that I manually input myself. I have one for Promotions, another for News, and another for Financials, etc. That is great, but I often check my email on iPhone and iPad, and I have no such way of doing that on those devices. Has anyone heard of the feature coming, or is there some setting that I am missing? (Please don't repost a link to the method of using mailboxes and rules through iCloud.com. That most certainly does not solve this issue.)

Hello SebastiaanVideo,

Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities.

When using the Mail app on your iPhone or iPad, you can create custom and VIP mailboxes. You can also use flags to organize your messages.

Please check the following Apple Support article for more information: Use mailboxes to organize email on your iPhone or iPad.

You can also submit Product Feedback to Apple if you have an idea on how to improve these features.

All the best!
