I use mail with gmail and some other email addresses. What is the best way to save and organize all my emails?

Hi jephgo,

The best way to keep your email organized is to use Mailboxes. The resource below explains how. Click on the link for more information.

Use Mail on your Mac

Organize your email

Mailboxes

You can create Mailboxes to organize your email messages. Mailboxes work like folders in the Finder.

To create a Mailbox:

1. In Mail choose Mailbox > New Mailbox
2. In the sheet that appears, choose the location for the Mailbox.
   - Choose On My Mac to create a Mailbox that resides on only your Mac.
   - Choose your email service (such as iCloud) to create a Mailbox that you can access from any device you check email from.
3. Name the Mailbox and click OK.

Click the Show button on the left side of the Favorites Bar to see the Mailbox list or press Shift-Command-M. The Mailbox list is like the sidebar of the Finder window. Use one of the following methods to move messages into your Mailboxes:

• Drag messages into the Mailbox you want move them into.
• When viewing a message, choose Messages > Move To or Copy To to file the message away.
• Control-click or right click a message and choose Move To or Copy To from the shortcut menu that appears.
• Create Mail Rules that move or copy messages into a Mailbox.

Search Mail

Use the Search field in the Mail window to search by sender, subject, attachments and more. If you want to narrow your search, choose an option from the menu that appears as you type.

To narrow your search, enter names or terms related to the message you're looking for. Select a search token such as People or Subject to search just that field in Mail. You can also select a mailbox from the Mailboxes sidebar or the Favorites bar in the Mail window to search just that Mailbox.

Take care,
