Where Does HEY Store Mail and Settings?
HEY keeps email, screener decisions, and reply-later stacks in your HEY account. Files you receive save through shares to device storage.
Last updated
HEY stores mail in its own account cloud, not in files. The Screener, switches like Reply Later and Set Aside, plus labels and contacts all sync through HEY servers. Mobile apps mirror the web experience.
Attachments are the only files: save them to device storage explicitly or they stay server-side. New phones need only a login; the whole mailbox follows. Exact behaviors may vary by version, so manage mail inside HEY rather than hunting local folders. Filters and folders sync too, so filing rules follow every device.
Where HEY stores this, by platform
HEY app > Inbox (account cloud)
Mail syncs via HEY account across all apps. Save attachments explicitly; they do not auto-download. Reinstalls restore on login.
HEY app > Inbox (account cloud)
Same account model as Android. Screener decisions and stacks sync everywhere. Keep local copies of critical attachments.
Frequently asked questions
How does the HEY Screener work?
Open the Screener when new senders arrive and approve the ones you want. Rejected senders never reach the inbox again. Review screening decisions quarterly; newsletters you once wanted become noise.
Does HEY sync between devices?
Yes for mail, contacts, and settings on login across web, desktop, and mobile. Downloaded attachments stay per device. Reinstalls restore everything except locally saved files.
