An optional inbox sorting option is available to Mail users in iOS which allows for quickly viewing only emails that have an included attachment. This offers an easy way of finding specific types of emails with attachments of any kind, without having to use the Search function or browsing through the regular inboxes, and should be helpful to many iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users.
Before you access and view only mails with attachments, you need to enable the options inbox sorting option in Mail app on iOS devices like iPhone and iPad initially as mentioned above. If you’re not aware of how to enable this option then simply follow the steps given below.
How to enable attachments inbox in Mail for iOS devices:
- Initially, open the Mail app in iOS, as usual, this should open to your regular All Inboxes view, then tap the Mailboxes back button.
- Now click on Edit and scroll down to find and tap on Attachments so that a blue check mark appears next to it, then tap on Done.
- Back in the Mailboxes screens, tap on attachments to view only emails that have included attachments in the iOS Mail app.
For the iOS users who works more with many attachments in Mail then this is the good feature and it also makes it quite easy to save attachments to iCloud quickly as you don’t need to wade through a larger inbox with other emails. It’s also handy to sort through documents to markup or sign and return through Mail.
When you’re switching inboxes and mailboxes, you’ll probably want to tap back and return to the All Inboxes section when finished, otherwise, you’ll only see new emails that include attachments if it remains the active mailbox on-screen.
This sorting feature is similar to viewing only emails from VIP contacts and archived messages which are also optional inbox sorting options available in the mailboxes screen.
