Just suppose that you are using one of the more modern versions of system software. So the new unread email toggle filter is available that will help you to get an unread mail.

STEPS TO FILTER FOR UNREAD EMAILS ON MAC TO SEE ALL UNREAD MESSAGES:-

  • You need to open the Mail app on your Mac.

  • Move to primary Mailboxes screen in your Mail and locate the little filter toggle button, it is a small button and looks like a series of lines atop one another.

  • Then click on the little filter button to immediately filter all of the emails to appear Unread messages only.

  • Now, click on the Filter toggle again to get all emails in the inbox, both unread and read as per your requirement.

  • All of the unread emails will be shown on the Mail screen only for as long as that toggle is set and enabled.

As we have mentioned before, you will get this little Filter toggle button is only in the latest versions of Mail app for Mac OS. Besides this, you can get this in Sierra (10.12) or later.

You can also have a Show Unread Email toggle in iOS Mail to quickly get that what emails are pending to read.
