Once your inbox is connected, Fyxer begins sorting new emails into 8 smart categories to help you focus on what matters. This article gives you a quick tour of what your inbox now looks like and how to navigate it confidently on Day 1.
Your 2 Most Common "Working Folders"
Most users choose to keep these two categories visible in their inbox because they represent the messages that matter most day-to-day:
1. To Respond
Emails that need your reply. Every message in this category automatically receives a draft from Fyxer.
2. FYI
Important updates you should read, but don't need to respond to.
These are not required settings, but they're popular because they make it easy to start your day by checking what needs attention and what you should be aware of.
Everything Else Gets Organized Behind the Scenes
Fyxer keeps your inbox focused by organizing lower-priority emails automatically - without hiding anything from you.
In Dashboard → Categorization, you'll see two columns that control how emails are handled.
Move these out of my inbox
When a category is toggled ON here, emails are organized into their own folder/label instead of staying in your main inbox.
Common examples include:
Comment – Document comments and chat notifications
Notification – Automated system or tool alerts
Meeting update – Calendar invites and meeting changes
Awaiting reply – Threads where you're waiting on someone else
Actioned – Completed or resolved conversations
Marketing – Newsletters, promos, and sales emails
These emails are still accessible anytime - they're just kept out of your primary inbox view.
Keep these in my inbox
When a category is toggled OFF, emails in that category stay visible in your main inbox.
This is useful if you want to:
Keep certain notifications front-and-center
Maintain visibility over specific types of messages
Ease into categorization gradually
How the toggles work
Toggle ON → Email is organized into its category folder
Toggle OFF → Email stays in your main inbox
You can change these settings anytime.
Because Gmail and Outlook display folders/labels differently, your categorized inbox will look slightly different depending on the email client you use.

Want to Test Your New System?
Send yourself (or ask a colleague to send you):
A question → goes to "To Respond" You'll see a drafted reply appear automatically.
A calendar invite → goes to "Meeting Update"
A neutral update → goes to "FYI"
Nothing Is Ever Lost or Hidden
Fyxer never deletes, archives, or hides emails.
You can always find every message by:
Opening its category folder/label
Using your email client's search
Viewing the message in the original thread
Checking the "All Mail" folder in Gmail
If something appears to "move," it's because the category you selected is toggled ON for automatic filing.
Learn the Full Rules
For the detailed logic behind each category read the Email Categorization Handbook. (Recommended for any user uncertain about "where things go.")
