Digests
Set low-priority mail aside into a daily or weekly bucket, and get it back as one recap email on your schedule instead of a stream of interruptions.
Some mail doesn't need your attention the moment it lands. Newsletters, receipts, and notifications can wait for one quiet recap. A digest sets that mail aside and brings it back on a schedule you set, as a single email grouped by sender, so it stays out of your inbox until you're ready for it.
There are two digests: a Daily one and a Weekly one. Each is off until you turn it on, and each has its own send time.
Digests are Mailhopper's own, the same as reminders: setting one doesn't move or change anything in your mailbox. The message stays where it is on the server; it's just hidden from your inbox until the digest goes out.
No AI reads your mail
The recap is built by hand, not by a model. It lists each message's sender, subject, and a short preview, grouped by who sent it, and nothing more. Your mail is never read, sorted, or summarized by AI, in a digest or anywhere else in Mailhopper.
Turn a digest on
Open Settings → Rules and select Digest to open its panel, then switch on Daily, Weekly, or both. For each
one, set the time it should go out (type any minute, like 8:30 AM, or step it with the
arrows), and for the weekly digest pick the day of the week. Times use your own time zone.
A digest you haven't turned on doesn't collect anything. If you try to add mail to a digest that's off, Mailhopper offers Turn on & add, which switches the digest on and files the message in one step, so mail is never quietly hidden with no way back to it.
Add mail to a digest
Three ways, depending on what you're filing: one message, several at once, or every message from a sender from now on.
A sender rule only files new mail as it arrives; it doesn't touch mail already in your inbox. To digest mail you already have, use the one-message or bulk options above.
See what's waiting
Each digest that's turned on gets its own view in the sidebar: Daily digest and Weekly digest. Open one to read everything set aside for the next recap, and a count marks how much has come in since the last one went out. You can act on any message here (reply, archive, and so on) exactly as you would in the inbox.
Digested mail is kept out of All inboxes, the unread count, and notifications, so it can't distract you before the recap. It's always one click away in its digest view.
When the digest arrives
At the time you set, Mailhopper sends the recap from digest@mailhopper.io to your sign-in address: one email, with each message listed under its sender and a link back to it in Mailhopper. Newsletters and bulk mail are grouped separately from personal mail so the recap stays easy to skim.
The digest is sent by Mailhopper's servers, so it goes out on time whether or not your computer is on. If nothing has collected since the last one, no empty email is sent; the schedule just carries on to the next.
To see the current recap before it's sent, open a digest view and choose Preview digest email.
Digests and notifications
Filing mail into a digest also silences it on your phone. A message routed to a digest doesn't raise a new-mail notification when it arrives, and it stays out of the unread badge. That holds whether a sender rule filed it or you filed it yourself.
Instead, you get one notification when the recap is ready, with a count of what's waiting. A digest that collected forty messages notifies you once, the same as one that collected two.
To silence that one as well, turn off Digest ready under Settings → Notifications. And since an empty digest is never sent, nothing collected means no email and no notification.
Acting on digested mail
Acting on a message clears it from its digest, so it won't turn up in the view or the next email. Reply to it, archive it, move it to Junk, or delete it, and it leaves the digest the same as any inbox message would.
Rules for whole senders
Manage your Digest senders in the Digest panel under Settings → Rules, next to the schedule and everything currently set aside. Add a sender by email address or domain, choose Daily or Weekly, and remove a rule anytime.
When more than one rule could apply to a message, the stronger action wins: a blocked sender goes to Trash, junk to Junk, and auto-archive to Archive, all before a digest rule is considered. A digest only ever files mail that would otherwise reach your inbox. See Cleanup for the other rule types.
