Retro Categories & Filters

When you run a Retro Session, InMoat scans and automatically organizes emails into collections called “Categories”.

Retro Categories are built on the similar keyword algorithms as InMoat's general Smart Filters. However, it's important to note that not all smart filter options are available as Retro categories.

Below is a list of Retro Categories (list is not exhaustive):

• Finances & Banking Notices
• Payment Notices

• Collaboration Notices
• Security Notices
• Social Media Notices
• Calendar Notices
• Personal
• Work & Professional
• Newsletters
