New User Looking For Date Sorting and Moving Emails

I just downloaded & got my emails to show up on Filo Mail today. It looks great, but 2 of the first things I tried to do were not available. The first was that I want the emails to sort oldest first. The other is that I cannot move an email from the Inbox to one of my mail folders.

I want to see emails in their chronological order without having to search up. There was no obvious option to change the sorting order. I looked in other feedback posts but could not see where this was addressed. This was one of the few advantages that classic Outlook had over the Gmail app.

I tried to move an email from the Inbox to a folder I keep for utility bills. When I started dragging the email it indicated that it was moving the email, but then it would just stay in the Inbox. This one seems like it should be pretty easy, but it doesn’t work. It doesn’t matter if I tried to stay in the same email account or move it to a folder in another account.

Any ideas & fixes are welcome. Thank you.

    Thanks for your feedback — we’ve noted your requests for changing the inbox sorting order (oldest first) and for moving emails to labels while skipping the inbox. We’ll work on these as soon as possible.

      Thank you very much. It is probably something that I have missed in setup.

      Has a solution to this problem been found? Moving emails to folders is definitely a requirement. If no solution to this problem exists, I will need to move to a different email client. Please respond. Thank you.

        Hi, just to confirm, are you trying to drag the email into a label created in Filo, or into one of the Gmail labels in the sidebar below?

          It is one of the Gmail labels below, not the Filo smart labels.
