Archiving emails

At Sixty, we understand how important it is to stay on top of your emails. That’s why emails in "Yesterday's Inbox" are treated just like those in your primary inbox—they’re too important to let slip through the cracks! For this reason, we’ve disabled the automatic archival feature. We want to make sure you never miss crucial communications. Just a heads-up: when you choose to archive a message in your primary inbox, it’s automatically removed from "Yesterday's Inbox," keeping your email flow smooth and organized.
