The capability to automatically manage incoming electronic messages on Apple’s mobile operating system involves a system of pre-defined actions based on specific criteria. As an example, messages from a particular sender can be automatically moved to a designated folder or tagged with a specific color for easier identification.
The utility of such a system lies in its ability to improve email organization, streamline workflow, and reduce the time spent manually sorting and filtering messages. Historically, this type of automated message management was primarily available on desktop email clients, but its inclusion in the mobile environment provides increased efficiency for users managing email on the go.
