Moving Conversations Between Important • Other
You can easily customize which messages land in Important or Other to make sure messages go to the right spot.
⚡ Try It Now (optional)
- Select the message currently in Other that you’d like to move to Important.
- Hit Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) → Move to Important.
- Choose whether you’d like to move the single message, the sender, or the domain.
💡 Tip: Gmail users, make sure smart features are enabled in your Gmail settings by checking the box next to "Turn on smart features and personalization." This allows Superhuman Mail to properly sort your emails into Important and Other.
Split Navigation
To help you treat your inbox like a to-do list and work toward Inbox Zero, each Split Inbox shows the total number of messages — not just unread. You’ll learn more about why this works in the next article 😉
To navigate between Splits, hit Tab to move right and Shift+Tab to move left.
💡 Tip: The ideal number of Splits is usually between 3 and 7. This keeps you productive without creating too many places to check or process messages.
Nice work setting up your inbox! Next, you’ll learn how to manage your inbox efficiently to keep email volume in check.
