And your question doesn't make much sense.

Yes, I don't understand either. Can you elaborate?

When my emails come through I have set it so that they are automatically filled into the relevant sub file for their sender.

Ah ok, you need to set up a filter, or filters, so that emails from specified senders arriving in your Inbox are automatically sent to the sub file you choose.

Settings >  More settings > Filters.

Automatically synchronizing emails into files typically involves setting up email rules or filters within your email client. Here's a general guide on how to do this in some common email clients:

Microsoft Outlook:

1. Open Outlook and navigate to the Inbox folder.
2. Click on the "File" menu and select "Manage Rules & Alerts."
3. In the Rules and Alerts dialog box, click on "New Rule."
4. Select "Apply rule on messages I receive" and click "Next."
5. Choose conditions that match the emails you want to synchronize into files (e.g., specific sender, subject line, etc.) and click "Next."
6. Choose what action you want to take on the emails (e.g., move to a specific folder).
7. Specify any exceptions if needed and click "Next."
8. Give your rule a name and click "Finish."

Gmail:

1. Open Gmail and click on the gear icon in the top-right corner, then select "See all settings."
2. Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
3. Click on "Create a new filter."
4. Set up the filter criteria to match the emails you want to synchronize into files (e.g., specific sender, keywords in the subject or body, etc.).
5. Click on "Create filter."
6. Check the box next to "Skip the Inbox (Archive it)" and select "Apply the label" to choose the folder where you want these emails to be synchronized.
7. Click on "Create filter."

Apple Mail:

1. Open Mail and go to "Mail" > "Preferences" from the menu bar.
2. Go to the "Rules" tab.
3. Click on "Add Rule."
4. Define conditions for the rule to match the emails you want to synchronize into files.
5. Choose "Move Message" or "Copy Message" to move or copy matching emails into a specific folder.
6. Click on "OK" to save the rule.

Once you've set up these rules or filters, incoming emails that match the specified criteria will be automatically synchronized into the designated folders or files. Make sure to periodically review and update these rules as needed.
