Keep your most important test emails accessible

During active development, your LocalMail.dev inbox can fill up quickly with hundreds of test emails. When you find an email that represents a specific edge case, a tricky layout, or a particularly useful test scenario, starring it ensures you can find it again instantly.

The Starred sidebar tab shows a live count of starred emails and filters the list to show only those you have saved. You can star emails from both the list view and the email viewer toolbar. Stars persist across sessions, so your saved emails remain bookmarked the next time you open the app.

  • Star any email from the inbox list or email viewer
  • Dedicated Starred tab in the sidebar with live count
  • Stars persist across app restarts
  • Instant toggle, no confirmation dialogs

Frequently asked questions

How do I star an email in LocalMail.dev?

Open any email in the LocalMail.dev viewer and click the star icon in the toolbar. The star turns amber to indicate the email is saved. Click it again to remove the star. Starred emails persist across app restarts.

Where can I view all my starred emails?

The sidebar in LocalMail.dev has a dedicated Starred tab below the main Inbox. Clicking it filters the email list to show only starred messages. The tab also shows a count of how many emails are currently starred.

Do starred emails persist when I clear the inbox?

Starred status is stored alongside the email in the local database. Starring an email does not prevent it from being deleted if you clear the inbox manually. However, starred emails remain available across app restarts until explicitly deleted.
