You can then create different sub folders in your main Inbox folder. Most of the email programs, and online email clients allow their users to create sub folders inside Inbox, allowing them to manage and organise their emails category wise. Here, you can create different folders for different category emails, and you can also differentiate them by different people who send you emails.
For instance, you can create a folder named “Friends and Family” and then create two further folders in it and name then “Friends” and “Family”. Similarly, you can also create different folder for emails related to your office. -
