Swipe actions

Choose what a short or long swipe left or right does on a message row in the iPhone and Android apps.

Swipe actions are gestures on the rows of your inbox list. You pick the action for each of four gestures.

Set them up#

  1. Open Settings and find the Gestures section.
  2. Choose Swipe Actions.
  3. Under Configure Swipe Gestures, pick an action for each gesture.
GestureHow it feels
Swipe Right (Short)A quick swipe to the right.
Swipe Right (Long)A full swipe to the right.
Swipe Left (Short)A quick swipe to the left.
Swipe Left (Long)A full swipe to the left.

A short swipe reveals the action. A long swipe runs it at once.

Actions you can assign#

  • Archive
  • Delete
  • Snooze
  • Pin
  • Mark Read/Unread
  • Star
  • Move to Folder
  • None, which leaves that gesture empty.

If a change does not save, the app shows Failed to save swipe config. Check your connection and try again.
