Built-in Rules

Categories

• Cold Email: unsolicited sales or prospecting outreach.
• Newsletter: subscribed newsletters and content digests.
• Marketing: promotional email from a brand or company. Sales, discount codes, "we miss you" campaigns.
• Spam: spam or phishing that your provider's filter missed.
• Job Recruiter: recruiter or headhunter outreach.
• Fundraising: nonprofit or political fundraising solicitations.
• Conference Invite: conference invitations and academic event marketing.
• Affiliate Marketing: affiliate, partner, or referral marketing.
• AI-Generated Outreach: emails with artificial or scripted personalization, typically mass-generated.
• Commerce: purchase receipts, order confirmations, invoices, and billing statements.
• Shipping: package tracking updates, shipping confirmations, and delivery notices.
• Security Alert: one-time passwords, two-factor codes, login alerts, and suspicious account activity warnings.
• Travel: flight bookings, hotel reservations, boarding passes, and travel itineraries.
• Finance: bank transaction alerts, investment updates, and financial account notifications.

Actions

• Archive: removes the message from your inbox. It's still accessible through search or your provider's All Mail view.
• Trash: moves the message to the Trash folder. Your provider will eventually delete it.
• Move: moves the message to a folder you specify. Useful for categories like Commerce or Travel where you want them out of your inbox but easy to find.
• Quarantine: moves the message to a Premail folder for manual review. Useful when you want filtering but aren't ready to fully trust it yet.

Confidence threshold

Each rule has a confidence slider. Below that threshold, Premail leaves the message alone even if the AI suspects a match. The default is conservative so Premail doesn't confidently archive something you actually wanted to read. If Premail is too cautious, lower the threshold. If it's archiving things it shouldn't, raise it.
