About This Feature

Overview

Email Folders is an email organization feature in WPS Office for Mac that helps you review system folders, custom folders, and labels from the left sidebar and sort messages by folder.

Main capabilities include:

View email folders: switch quickly between Inbox, Unread, Starred, Drafts, Sent, Archived, Deleted, and Spam.
Create a folder: add a new custom folder under My Folders.
Manage custom folders: use label settings, mark all as read, create a subfolder, edit a folder, delete a folder, import emails, and drag folders to reorder them.

This feature is useful for project-based email organization, separating personal and work messages, and keeping long-term archives tidy.

Capability Summary	Provides system folders, custom folders, and label access in one sidebar, with support for creating folders, subfolders, renaming, deleting, importing emails, and drag-and-drop sorting.	Outlook for Mac supports creating top-level and nested folders, and lets users rename, move, and delete folders.	Gmail uses labels instead of traditional folders and supports creating, nesting, editing, deleting, and applying labels to messages.	Notion Mail supports views, groups, filters, and labels. It can create labels, but nested labels and subfolders are not currently supported.	Acrobat for Microsoft Outlook focuses on PDF workflows for Outlook, such as converting or attaching emails to PDFs, rather than native mailbox folder management.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines system folders, custom folders, and labels in one sidebar. Distinct: it also supports right-click folder actions, email import, and drag-and-drop reordering for ongoing inbox organization.	Compared with WPS: Outlook for Mac offers mature folder hierarchy management, with its official guidance centered on creating, moving, renaming, and deleting folders.	Compared with WPS: Gmail is organized around labels, which work well for multi-tag classification but are not the same as a traditional folder structure.	Compared with WPS: Notion Mail emphasizes views and labels, and its official help notes that nested labels and subfolders are not currently supported.	Compared with WPS: Adobe’s related workflow is centered on PDF handling and Outlook extensions, not day-to-day email folder organization.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Email Folders is a practical fit for users who want a traditional email folder workflow in a single sidebar. Compared with Gmail and Notion Mail, WPS places more emphasis on folder hierarchy and direct folder actions. Compared with Adobe’s related Outlook workflow, WPS is closer to everyday mailbox organization.
