How to Setup VIP Mail on iPhone

April 5, 2016

You receive a ton of email from your contacts but you rarely have the time to check all of them right away. If you want to be instantly notified about email messages you receive from people who are super important to you, you can make use of the VIP Mail feature in your Mail app to do it. The Mail app lets you set up a Mailbox where all email from people marked as VIP is filtered, making it easier to check just the important mail if you are short of time. If you’re not sure of the process, here’s how to setup VIP mail on iPhone.

How to Setup VIP Mail on iPhone

All contacts marked as VIPs will have a gray star next to their names across all of your mail lists. If you have iCloud enabled, that contact will also be marked VIP across all of your devices.

To set-up your VIP Mailbox:

1. Open your Mail app.

2.  If you’re in one of your mail lists, tap Mailboxes in the upper left corner.
