How to rearrange folders in Apple Mail

Hello,

Here are simple steps on reordering the folders:

1. Open the Mail app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the back arrow or Mailboxes button in the upper-left corner until you see your main Mailboxes list view.
3. Tap Edit in the upper-right corner.
4. Touch and hold the reorder icon (three horizontal lines) next to a mailbox or folder until it lifts up.
5. Drag the mailbox or folder up or down to your preferred position.
6. Tap Done in the top right corner to save your changes

Hope this helps, and thank you for using apple community,

Thanks

OK, thank you for the information.

Since the added folders like Gmail, Outlook, etc., are sadly, locked in alphabetical order, those cannot be moved. Hope this clarifies the issue.

Thanks

Let's hope that someday this will change, and we will all be able to rearrange the folders as in Mac's Mail

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I had done as you suggested, but this only worked for the default top-level folders not for the folders I had added.

Thanks.
