There are two types of Inbox in Spark: Classic and Smart.
The Smart Inbox gathers emails from your various accounts and sorts them into Personal, Notifications, and Newsletters. New emails are available at the top of your inbox while read messages go to the Seen section at the bottom.
The Smart Inbox helps you manage your emails faster; you can focus on important messages and quickly clear the rest. Spark allows you to customize the Smart Inbox to work optimally for you. Meanwhile, you can switch to the Classic Inbox where all emails are displayed in chronological order.
Select the cards to display in the Smart Inbox
Spark offers various cards to display in the Smart Inbox. You can choose the ones you need:
- Personal — displays the emails from other people;
- Notifications — shows messages from services;
- Newsletters — displays regular emails from the websites you’ve subscribed to;
- Pins — contains the emails you’ve pinned;
- Seen — the card for the emails you’ve already read;
- No New Mail — appears when all your emails have been read and sent to the Seen section;
- Shared Drafts — notifies you when your teammate invites you to create an email together or adds comments to a shared draft. Learn more about shared drafts.

- Grouped shows each email address with the number of unread messages. Tap the email address to see the new emails.
- Per Account separates each account’s emails. For example, if you receive two personal emails in two different accounts, these messages are shown on separate cards.
