How to sort BellSouth email inbox
The messages can be sorted based on time, email address, and date:
If you sort according to the days of the week, then the messages will be displayed basis of ‘Today, Tomorrow or yesterday’. If you sort according to ‘last week’, then all messages received before Saturday and Sunday will be considered.
Previous month: As the name implies, all the emails from the previous month will be displayed.
Besides this, you can change the sorting function from the right corner of the toolbar. The most common settings which you will find in the toolbar are discussed here as under:
- Date: If you select this function, the latest emails will be displayed on the top.
- Unread: All the unread mails will be displayed.
- Date: Old to latest. If you select this option, the oldest mails will be displayed first.
- Attachments: All emails with attachments will be shown on the screen.
- Sender: This function is disabled if the conversion is in use.
- Subject: This option is again disabled if the conversation is in use.
- Starred: Emails marked with stars will appear on the top.
- Group by conversation: To enable or disable any conversation, you need to click on the ‘Help’ link. Open ‘Bellsouth settings’ from the main menu.
Conversation settings
The conversation or chat option is enabled by default on the Bellsouth account. If you want to chat with an individual email addressee, then you can use a conversation. All the messages will store in one place and if you want to change the subject or sender, disable the conversation first.
Note: There is a ‘search’ widget given on the top of the inbox to search particular mail from the inbox folder. If you enter an address, subject or any keyword related to the message, the content concerning that will be displayed on the screen. The glass type icon will showcase the mail from the selected sender.
This is how you can sort and manage messages in the inbox folder of your email account. If you find any problem, you can contact the email experts.
