Understanding Mail VIPs
VIPs in the Mail app are a way to separate important emails from the rest of your inbox. When you designate someone as a VIP, emails from them appear in a separate VIP mailbox, making them easier to find. This feature is particularly useful for keeping track of emails from family members, close friends, colleagues, or anyone else whose messages are a top priority.
How to Set Up Mail VIPs on iPhone
Step 1: Open the Mail App
Start by opening the Mail app on your iPhone. You’ll find this app pre-installed on all iPhones, symbolized by an envelope icon.
Step 2: Choose a Contact
Navigate to an email from the contact you want to add to your VIPs. This can be done by browsing your inbox or using the search function.
Step 3: Mark as VIP
Once you’ve opened an email from the desired contact, tap on their name at the top of the email to open their contact card. Here, you’ll see the option to ‘Add to VIP’. Tap on this to mark them as a VIP.
Step 4: Accessing VIPs
After adding contacts to your VIP list, you’ll notice a new VIP mailbox in the Mail app. This mailbox will directly display emails from your VIP contacts, simplifying your email management.
Step 5: Customize Notifications
You can also customize notifications for VIP emails. Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Notifications’ > ‘Mail’. Here, you can adjust how you receive alerts for VIP emails, ensuring you’re immediately notified of important messages.
