Manage the ad filter

This guide explains how to enable or disable the Infomaniak advertising filter that automatically sorts emails detected as Newsletters or activity notifications into specific folders.

Introduction

• The filter is automatically enabled when creating an email address within an Infomaniak Mail Service or when ordering a free @ik.me email address (+ ikmail.com, etc.)
• The advertising filter allows you to focus on relevant and important emails, improving your productivity by reducing distractions from advertisements and spam.
• The filter helps maintain a cleaner and better-organized inbox by separating advertising emails, making it easier to manage important emails.
