Email folders
Hi,
Does anyone have advice if you can use email folders in pipedrive. We are using pipedrive 100% for email. However there are no folder options I can find - so we can't prioritise emails. Any advice? Is this feature being planned?
Thanks in advance.

New here, so not sure if this has been asked. Is anyone else surprised you can not create folders within the pipedrive email? It seems like an important feature.

Hi @Jason Fisher , I had the same thought at the beginning! But in all honesty once You start linking your emails to deals and all future emails pop up in assigned deals and additionally You use the powerful filtering tools inside email You won't need folders anymore. Outlook and Co are great and super complex tools but traditional email tools failed to evolve as future proof tools beyond their original scope.
The trick is: Pipedrive is amazing in handling emails, linking to deals etc. but there is still some work to do to keep our inbox tidy, viewing/reading experience, email multiple signature, syncing multiple emails etc. as we all would love to keep that scope inside PD and not going back again to outlook therefore.
Your decision making question might be is there anything missing inside PD which your email platform offers?
For me there are couple of things which need to be sorted out first in PD prior considering dropping outlook completely!
This depends also on the user case/volume. Some might have only couple thousand emails others might deal with 100k emails or more per year
Am still using Outlook Exchange Server to organize my inbox via folders but I would really hope that one fine day PD can organize those emails via simple automation based on to which company they are linked to and organize them directly into dedicated folders or MAYBE folders will be redundant due to further email functionality improvements inside PD that make outlook/Co redundant.
Cheers,

i second this request. I have folders in my regular mail but the sync put them all in one view.

How can I access my Outlook email folders when working in Pipedrive?

I don't think you can directly see them or add things to folders. You can choose to sync only specific folders though. https://app.pipedrive.com/settings/email-sync

Hi,
Are there any plans for Pipedrive to develop the option of email folders?
I want to use Pipedrive as my go-to single-use CRM without having to yo-yo to outlook. Many of my emails are not leads and general "info only" stuff that I still want to organise.
If it's going to be a while, can someone suggest a workaround?
Thanks in advance.

I'm also struggling with the subject even though there is a powerful filtering tool , if I wish to see my inbox with no filters I will never be able to see it clearing up.
