Where did my emails go?

Updated today

Your emails haven't disappeared. Fyxer organizes them into smart folders or labels so your inbox is easier to manage.

When you connect Fyxer, it automatically categorizes the last 300 and any incoming emails instead of leaving everything in your main inbox. This can make it look like emails are missing, but they're still there.


What's actually happening?

Fyxer sorts your email into categories like:

  • To Respond - emails that need a reply

  • FYI – informational messages

  • Notifications – automated or system emails

  • Marketing – newsletters and promotions

Depending on your email provider:

  • Gmail → emails are labeled and may move out of Primary

  • Outlook → emails are moved into folders

This is expected behavior and helps reduce inbox overload.


How to find your emails

In Gmail

  • Look for Fyxer labels (To Respond, FYI, Notifications)

  • Use the Gmail search bar - all emails are still searchable

  • Check All Mail if you're unsure where something went

In Outlook

  • Check the folders created by Fyxer in your mailbox

  • Expand your folder list if you don't see them right away


Want emails to stay in your main inbox?

You can change how categorization works.

To adjust or turn off categorization:

  1. Go to your Dashboard Categorization Settings

  2. Toggle categories on or off

  3. Choose whether emails are labeled only or moved into folders

Changes apply going forward - nothing is permanently deleted.


Why Fyxer does this

Fyxer surfaces emails that need action and reduces inbox noise so you can focus on what matters.

Most users start their day in To Respond, rather than scanning hundreds of emails.


Still can't find an email?

Try these quick checks:

  • Search your inbox for the sender or subject

  • Check All Mail (Gmail) or all folders (Outlook)

  • Make sure categorization is still enabled
