Dove helps you stay organized by automatically classifying your emails into three categories:
Focus: Important and personal emails that need your attention
Feed: Newsletters, updates, and subscriptions
Noise: Low-priority emails that are filtered out to reduce clutter
How Emails Are Classified
Each email is automatically categorized by Dove.
The category label appears on each email on the right side in the email list:
Focus is shown in pink
Feed is shown in blue
Email Grouping in Smart Inbox
In Smart Inbox, emails are organized by time and category to help you quickly scan your inbox.
Emails appear in the following structure:
Today → Focus, Feed, Noise
Yesterday → Focus, Feed, Noise
Last Week → Focus, Feed, Noise
Last Month → Focus, Feed, Noise
Noise emails are shown as a collapsed dropdown within each section to reduce clutter.
Note: Classification labels are primarily applied to emails from the past 7 days.
