iCloud Mail: Can't view VIP folder

I find iCloud Mail difficult to use for one reason.

I'm not able to access the VIP folder as I can on the Mail app on my Mac and iPhone.

I see VIP listed as a folder directly under the Inbox. However, when I click it, it only expands to show each individual VIP sender.

But I can't click VIP and view all the received messages from VIP senders together.

If there's a way to do this, it would make using iCloud Mail so much easier.

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply. I understand you to mean that viewing the VIP folder itself is not possible in iCloud Mail.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to this, but would you happen to know whether it's possible to request having this feature available in iCloud Mail? Perhaps Apple has a place for feature requests?

Thank you again!

See some screen shots .




I followed the apple article link in the first screen shot is of www.icloud.com in which a mail is selected clicked on drop down arrow on the name of the person , checked the box of VIP and clicked on save button , the star icon was developed over the mail , created a new folder by clicking on plus sign and dragged and dropped the VIP mail over it ,

Now opened IMAP account , under iCloud see in the bottom end an untitled folder is created with vip mail folder , the reason I had created a web mail account like gmail , yahoo ..etc and an Apple ID , also the Apple ID address is kept same as web mail address .

When I enter in system preferences > iCloud the Apple ID is signed in , by doing so apple mail application is configured with iCloud server account ( it will act as a mirror ) what ever folders like vip folders are created in www.icloud.com they will be mirrored in the IMAP account .
