Layout

The web and mobile apps share the same three-pane structure, adapted per screen size.

Left sidebar - accounts, folders, tags, starred, and per-account inbox counts.
Middle pane (message list) - one row per message, newest first by default. A +N badge on a row indicates how many other messages are in the same thread; opening the row loads the full thread in the reader.
Right pane (reader) - selected thread, with the compose box at the bottom when replying.

On mobile the list and reader stack. Swipe left on a message for star/unstar; swipe right for mark read/unread, archive, or delete. There is no snooze swipe today.

Unified vs per-account view

Click All inboxes at the top of the sidebar for a unified, chronological view across every account you’ve connected. Click any individual account to scope the list to just that mailbox.

Most people stay in the unified view for triage and switch to per-account when they need to focus (“catch up on work email” without seeing side-project stuff).

Bulk archive by sender

Hit Triage in the sidebar to clear backlogs by sender - one click to archive, mark read, or delete every message from a chosen address. See Bulk archive by sender for the full flow.

What to try first

Star a thread from the toolbar.
Add a tag to a thread (toolbar tag picker).
Open the search box and try a multi-word query (stripe invoice) - then narrow with the advanced filters panel.
Click Compose and check the From picker - it lists every send identity across every connected account.

Welcome. You’re set.
