Superhuman Mail can automatically archive certain conversations to keep your inbox clutter-free.
Desktop
To set up Auto Archive via Auto Labels:
- Click Settings → Auto Archive.
- Select which Auto Labels you want to skip the inbox.
Moving forward, all messages with that Auto Label will automatically skip the inbox and go straight to that label and the Auto Archived folder.
"Auto Archived" will appear below those conversations.
To always Auto Archive messages from a specific sender or domain:
- Click Settings → Auto Archive.
- Click the Always Archive tab and enter their email addresses or domain.
You can also Auto Archive messages from a specific sender or domain while viewing a conversation.
- Hit Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) → Auto Archive.
- Select Always Auto Archive Sender or Always Auto Archive Domain.
Mobile
To set up Auto Archive:
- Pull down from the top of the inbox, then swipe right to open Superhuman Command — like you're making an "L.”
- Type Auto Archive Settings to select which Auto Labels skip your inbox.
All messages with that Auto Label will skip the inbox automatically and go straight to that label, as well as the Auto Archived folder.
"Auto archived" will appear at the bottom of any conversation that skipped the inbox.
Viewing Auto Archived Conversations
There are several ways to access your Auto Archived conversations.

- To see all Auto Archived messages, hit Cmd+K or Ctrl+K → go to Auto Archived.

Mobile
- Pull down from the top of the inbox, then swipe right to pull up Superhuman Command — like you're making an "L" — then type go to Auto Archived.
- Swipe up from the bottom of the inbox to see your folders/labels then tap Auto Archived.
Exceptions to Auto Archive
To ensure that you never miss an important message, Superhuman AI will not Auto Archive certain conversations. If any of the following are true, a conversation will not skip the inbox:
- You have previously sent an email to the recipient.
- The sender’s domain is the same as yours (excluding generic domains like gmail.com).
- The conversation has multiple Auto Labels and at least one is not Auto Archived.
To add your own exceptions, click the Never Archive tab and enter their email addresses or domain.
You can also hit Cmd+K or Ctrl+K → Auto Archive in an open conversation, and select Never Auto Archive Sender or Never Auto Archive Domain.
FAQs
Do Always Archive and Never Archive only work for conversations with Auto Labels?
No, these settings will Auto Archive or never Auto Archive any conversation, regardless of whether an Auto Label is added to the conversation.
Does this create a Gmail filter or Outlook rule?
No, we don’t create a Gmail filter or Outlook rule. But any action taken in Superhuman Mail will be reflected in the customer’s email client per usual.
I don't see Auto Archive when I click Settings. How can I add Auto Archive Inclusions and Exclusions?
At the moment, you’ll need to enable Superhuman AI to access the Auto Archive settings. We’re keen to support the ability to add Auto Archive Inclusions and Exclusions, regardless of whether you have Superhuman AI enabled.
What if I have an Auto Label set to Auto Archive and it gets applied to an email from a sender or domain I have set to Never Archive?
We’ll default to Never Archive.
What if I have a Gmail filter or Outlook rule for a sender set to skip the inbox, but I added that sender to the Never Archive in Superhuman Mail?
We’ll respect the Gmail filter or Outlook rule.
