Mail Categories App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — Primary, Transactions, Updates & Promotions / 邮件分类 zh-Hans Copy
Your en-US listing markets Mail Categories — Apple's categorized inbox in the Mail app with Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions tabs, toggled under Settings → Mail → Categories — but the China App Store product page still shows English title, subtitle, keywords, description, and caption lines.
English "Mail Categories", "Primary", "Transactions", "Updates", and "Promotions" overlays do not match how China buyers search for 邮件分类, 邮件类别, 主要, 交易, 更新, or 促销.
Enabling Mail Categories on a test device or shipping inbox UX in the binary does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row.
AppLocale writes paste-ready zh-Hans listing copy for those Connect fields — not MailKit engineering, not configuring Mail for buyers, not general inbox marketing, not screenshot design, not a machine translation dump.

Western indie iOS and Mac Mail-adjacent developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — whose product page prominently markets Mail Categories and a categorized inbox on iPhone or Mac:
Primary tab marketing — gallery frames or description bullets showing the Primary category for personal and important mail buyers recognize
Transactions tab — marketing that receipts, orders, and payment confirmations sort into a dedicated Transactions category instead of cluttering the main inbox
Updates tab — screenshot badges for shipping notifications, account alerts, and service updates routed to the Updates category
Promotions tab — when your en-US listing uses Promotions or marketing-email separation as the hero story for a cleaner Primary inbox
Productivity and email apps — indie apps whose en-US listing sells Mail Categories alignment, categorized inbox workflows, or 邮件分类 vocabulary buyers expect in China
You finished the en-US listing. The zh-Hans row exists or is in progress, but China buyers still see English searchable fields and English Mail Categories screenshot captions. You need paste-ready Connect storefront text — not a contractor to implement MailKit or configure Mail Categories on buyer devices.
What Apple Mail Categories is — and what your listing may claim
Apple markets Mail Categories as a categorized inbox in the Mail app. Incoming mail sorts into four tabs — Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions — so buyers see personal mail first and marketing or transactional noise in separate categories. Buyers manage the feature under Settings → Mail → Categories. Western indie listings often show one or more of these surfaces on the US product page. AppLocale covers paste-ready zh-Hans copy for whichever your screenshots and description already claim:
Mail Categories master toggle (邮件分类) — gallery frames showing Settings → Mail → Categories enabled with tab organization visible
Primary category (主要) — marketing that personal and important messages stay in the Primary tab instead of mixed with bulk mail
Transactions category (交易) — when your English gallery emphasizes receipts, orders, and payment confirmations in a dedicated Transactions tab
Updates category (更新) — shipping alerts, account notifications, and service updates sorted separately from personal mail
Promotions category (促销) — when your en-US listing uses Promotions tab separation for marketing emails and newsletters
Your gallery may lead with a Mail Categories settings capture on one frame and a categorized inbox with tab bar on the next. zh-Hans caption lines should name the correct surface per frame — inbox categorization is not hide-IP privacy copy and not relay-email sign-up marketing.
Mail Categories is not general Mail inbox, Mail Privacy Protection, or Hide My Email copy
Mail-adjacent apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Mail Categories and categorized inbox as the lead gallery theme:
General Mail & email client (different) — unified inbox, smart mailbox rules, mail filters, push email alerts. See Mail & email client listing guide — inbox and filter marketing, not Mail Categories tabs.
Mail Privacy Protection (different) — hide IP when viewing email, block remote images, tracking pixels, Protect Mail Activity. See Mail Privacy Protection listing guide — read-time privacy, not inbox tab organization.
Hide My Email (different) — iCloud+ relay email addresses, keep real inbox private on sign-up. See Hide My Email listing guide — relay addresses, not categorized inbox tabs.
Smart Reply (different unless paired) — Apple Intelligence suggested reply chips in Mail or Messages. See Smart Reply listing guide — reply suggestions, not inbox categorization.
Your screenshots may show mail icons on adjacent frames. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a Mail Categories tab bar is not a Mail Privacy Protection toggle and not a Hide My Email relay settings sheet.
No twin slug pages — mail-categorization, categorized-mail, and smart-mailbox belong here
AppLocale does not maintain separate twin pages for these slugs when Mail Categories dominates your lead gallery:
mail-categorization — Mail categorization search intent belongs here — not as a separate twin slug page
categorized-mail — categorized mail search intent belongs here — not as a separate twin slug page
mail-category — mail category search intent belongs here — not as a separate twin slug page
ios-mail-categories — iOS Mail Categories search intent belongs here — not as a separate twin slug page
apple-mail-categories — Apple Mail Categories search intent belongs here — not as a separate twin slug page
smart-mailbox — smart mailbox search intent when your lead is Mail Categories tabs belongs here — not as a separate twin slug page (see Mail listing guide when smart-mailbox filter rules dominate instead)
focused-inbox — focused inbox search intent belongs here when Mail Categories is the lead — not as a separate twin slug page
vip-mailbox and primary-mailbox — VIP or primary-mailbox search intent folds here when Primary tab marketing is your hero — not as separate twin slug pages
Order this Mail Categories scope when your en-US product page already leads with categorized inbox tabs, Primary·Transactions·Updates·Promotions marketing, or 邮件分类 screenshot badges.
Listing metadata vs Mail engineering vs screenshot design
Mail Categories-aware apps blur three workstreams indie teams merge:
App Store Connect listing metadata — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshot overlay captions on the zh-Hans row. AppLocale scope.
MailKit & inbox behavior in the app — account sync, compose flows, filter rules, push badges, Mail extension hooks in your binary. Engineering scope — not AppLocale.
Screenshot composition — device frames, Mail Categories tab captures, categorized inbox mockups. Design scope — AppLocale delivers caption lines you paste or hand to a designer.
Implementing MailKit or shipping inbox UX in Xcode does not fill Connect zh-Hans rows. This page covers the first bucket for Mail Categories-centric product pages — categorized inbox marketing, not hide-IP privacy claims and not relay-email sign-up workflows.
English Mail Categories phrases China buyers still see
Common en-US marketing lines that leak onto the China product page when zh-Hans caption fields are empty or copy-pasted from the US gallery:
Mail Categories — feature name left in Latin script on Settings captures
Primary — tab label on categorized inbox screenshots still untranslated
Transactions — overlay headline on receipt-sorting frames still English
Updates — description bullet still Latin when subtitle is zh-Hans
Promotions — marketing-email separation callout still English
Categorized inbox — hero paragraph still English in description body
See mail sorted by category — feature marketing left untranslated on hero frames
Chinese buyers searching for 邮件分类 or 邮件类别 still land on English-only overlays — that reads as an incomplete localization pass, not a bilingual Mail Categories-aware productivity app.
EN → zh-Hans listing phrase examples (Mail Categories scope)
Paste-ready zh-Hans should match how Chinese App Store readers describe inbox categorization — not a word-for-word mirror of English Settings strings. AppLocale adapts these patterns to your English source:
Mail Categories → 邮件分类 or 邮件类别 — names the categorized inbox feature buyers recognize from Settings → Mail
Primary → 主要 — Primary tab marketing for personal and important mail
Transactions → 交易 — receipts, orders, and payment confirmations category
Updates → 更新 — shipping alerts, account notifications, and service updates category
Promotions → 促销 — marketing emails and newsletters category
Categorized inbox → 分类收件箱 or context-appropriate inbox phrasing
See mail sorted by category → 按类别查看邮件 or idiomatic sorting phrasing
zh-Hans Mail Categories captions can differ idiomatically from en-US overlays when the on-screen feature is the same — avoid mirroring comma-heavy English marketing onto tight screenshot art. Do not claim Mail Privacy Protection, Hide My Email, or smart-mailbox filter rules your app does not market.
Why English Mail Categories copy hurts on the China storefront
Productivity and email apps compete on the China App Store. Buyers evaluate categorized inbox value before they enable Mail Categories in Settings:
Category value buried in Latin script — English "Primary" and "Transactions" on zh-Hans frames signals the team did not finish China marketing
Tab labels left untranslated — category badges and tab lines show English when caption fields are empty
Description mismatch — zh-Hans body copy mentions 邮件分类 while screenshot overlays still say "Mail Categories"
Search intent gap — subtitle and keywords may miss 邮件分类, 邮件类别, 主要, 交易, 更新, or 促销 terms buyers actually type
Conflated with general Mail inbox — unified inbox copy on the same page without separating Mail Categories tab organization
Competitor contrast — native zh-Hans email apps in the same category show Chinese Mail Categories overlays; English badges look like an import
Better zh-Hans Mail Categories marketing copy improves product-page clarity for China traffic — it does not replace MailKit engineering, Mail server infrastructure, or Apple review decisions.
Common mistakes on zh-Hans Mail Categories listings
Only localizing title and description — screenshot overlays still say "Primary", "Transactions", "Updates", and "Promotions" on every categorized inbox frame
Conflating with general Mail inbox — smart mailbox and mail-filter copy belongs on the Mail listing guide, not Mail Categories tab marketing
Conflating with Mail Privacy Protection — hide-IP and block-remote-content copy needs the Mail Privacy Protection guide, not inbox categorization
Conflating with Hide My Email — relay-address sign-up copy needs the Hide My Email guide, not Primary·Transactions·Updates·Promotions tabs
Promising privacy features in Chinese — zh-Hans copy promises pixel blocking when English source only marketed inbox categorization
Machine-translating "Mail Categories" literally — awkward strings instead of idiomatic 邮件分类 or 邮件类别 phrasing Chinese reviewers use
Assuming Mail Categories in iOS = localized storefront — system Mail behavior on buyer devices does not auto-fill Connect overlay fields
English text burned into PNG exports — Connect caption fields are Chinese but the image file still embeds English Mail Categories headlines (a design fix, not a metadata paste)
What good zh-Hans Mail Categories listing copy looks like
Mail Categories-centric listings name categorized inbox value in plain zh-Hans — not a word-for-word mirror of English brochure lines:
Subtitle — one clause on category value: "邮件分类，重要邮件优先" or "Primary·交易·更新·促销分类收件" — not vague "更好管理邮件"
Description — short paragraphs for Mail Categories, Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions if you market them — mirror screenshot sequence
Screenshot overlays — short lines naming what the frame shows: 邮件分类, 主要, 交易, 更新, 促销 — not "Primary" pasted through machine translation
Honest scope — when your gallery shows categorized inbox tabs only, caption sheet does not claim Mail Privacy Protection or Hide My Email workflows
Voice match — same 你/您 and punctuation habits as your other zh-Hans fields
Connect checklist before you order Mail Categories listing copy
Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — confirm the zh-Hans row exists; note which fields are still English
Audit Mail Categories screenshot overlays — export English caption text per frame; list lines mentioning Mail Categories, Primary, Transactions, Updates, Promotions, or categorized inbox
Verify subtitle and keywords — do they mention inbox categorization in Chinese or still mirror en-US?
Check description bullets — Mail Categories feature paragraphs may be English-only even when title is zh-Hans
Separate Mail Categories vs general Mail scope — if frames show smart mailbox filter rules, confirm whether you need categorization copy or general inbox copy (see Mail listing guide)
Separate privacy vs categorization scope — if frames show Mail Privacy Protection toggles, confirm those belong on the privacy guide — not this page
Plan re-export if text is burned in — Connect caption fields help only when overlays are editable text layers, not English baked into PNGs
Verify China in availability — Pricing and Availability includes China if the storefront should show zh-Hans copy
What AppLocale delivers
For one app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese listing copy for Mail Categories-marketing fields you specify:
Title, subtitle, keywords, description — zh-Hans rewrite aligned with your English Mail Categories / categorized inbox positioning
Promotional text — when bundled in your brief
Screenshot overlay and caption lines — zh-Hans lines for frames showing Mail Categories, Primary, Transactions, Updates, Promotions, and Settings → Mail → Categories workflows
English source alignment — when your en-US Mail Categories copy also needs tightening, we note both sides in the deliverable
24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake
Human rewrite from your current English listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope targets listing metadata and Mail Categories overlay lines; ask if you also need general Mail inbox copy bundled — see the AppLocale product page.
What AppLocale does not do
Does not write MailKit code, IMAP/SMTP account wiring, or mail-thread UI in your app
Does not configure Mail Categories, smart-mailbox rules, or Mail settings on buyer devices
Does not implement Mail Privacy Protection, Hide My Email, or inbox categorization system behavior — Mail Categories is an iOS Mail setting, not something AppLocale configures
Does not design, compose, or re-export Mail Categories-themed screenshot PNG/JPEG assets
Does not translate text burned into existing image files — only Connect caption fields and deliverable line sheets for your designer
Does not localize in-app UI strings, Xcode catalogs, or the app binary
Does not upload media or click Save for you in App Store Connect
Does not guarantee App Store rankings, conversion lift, or download growth
Does not manage Apple Search Ads, review-reply retainers, or ASO retainers
Does not write separate mail-categorization, categorized-mail, mail-category, ios-mail-categories, apple-mail-categories, smart-mailbox, focused-inbox, vip-mailbox, or primary-mailbox twin slug pages
Is not QuantRadar, not paid ads management, and not investment or legal advice
Does not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers
How it works
Confirm scope — which listing fields and Mail Categories overlay lines need zh-Hans; whether general Mail inbox or Mail Privacy Protection frames are in scope
Send intake — reply from the email on your Stripe receipt with your App Store listing URL, current English copy (especially Mail Categories, Primary, Transactions, Updates, Promotions, and categorized inbox lines), target locale (zh-Hans), and frame counts if screenshots are included
Receive files — within 24 hours, paste-ready zh-Hans listing copy arrives at your Stripe receipt email
Paste in Connect — enter fields on the zh-Hans row; hand overlay lines to your designer if text is burned into PNGs
Does enabling Mail Categories auto-translate categorized inbox marketing on the China storefront?
No. Mail Categories is a system Mail feature — it does not fill App Store Connect localization rows. If zh-Hans fields are empty, the China product page falls back to en-US copy.
Why do Mail Categories captions still show English on China?
Screenshot overlay lines are per localization. English Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions badges on the en-US gallery do not propagate to zh-Hans until you paste Chinese caption text into the Chinese screenshot set.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing fields, Mail Categories screenshot overlay lines (Primary, Transactions, Updates, Promotions, categorized inbox), target locale (zh-Hans), and any frame counts. Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.
How is this different from the general Mail inbox listing page?
General Mail marketing covers email client, unified inbox, smart mailbox, mail filters, and push email UX — 邮件, 邮箱, 收件箱. This page covers Mail Categories — Primary, Transactions, Updates, Promotions tabs and Settings → Mail → Categories — 邮件分类, 邮件类别, 主要, 交易, 更新, 促销. Not general inbox copy.
How is this different from Mail Privacy Protection and Hide My Email guides?
Mail Privacy Protection covers hide-IP and block-remote-content when reading mail — 邮件隐私保护. Hide My Email covers iCloud+ relay addresses — 隐藏电子邮件. This page covers inbox tab categorization — different surfaces, different Connect string families.
Does MailKit engineering fill my zh-Hans Connect row?
No. MailKit integration, account sync, and compose flows in your binary are engineering work. AppLocale rewrites listing metadata — title, subtitle, keywords, description, and screenshot caption lines on the zh-Hans row.
Which zh-Hans terms fit Mail Categories on screenshots?
Common patterns: 邮件分类 or 邮件类别 for Mail Categories, 主要 for Primary, 交易 for Transactions, 更新 for Updates, and 促销 for Promotions when your gallery shows that framing. AppLocale matches phrasing to what your English source actually claims.
Does AppLocale maintain twin pages for mail-categorization or smart-mailbox?
No. mail-categorization, categorized-mail, mail-category, ios-mail-categories, apple-mail-categories, smart-mailbox, focused-inbox, vip-mailbox, and primary-mailbox search intents fold onto this Mail Categories-as-lead page. AppLocale does not publish separate twin slug pages for those variants.
Will localized Mail Categories copy improve Search ranking in China?
We do not guarantee keyword position or download growth. Apple indexes title, subtitle, keywords, and description for Search. Complete zh-Hans Mail Categories marketing helps buyers who already landed on your product page understand categorized inbox value.
How much does AppLocale cost?
$79 one-time via Stripe checkout. No subscription. Seller is Fortune Insight, LLC.
What is AppLocale not?
Not MailKit or IMAP/SMTP engineering, not Mail Categories configuration on buyer devices, not general Mail inbox listing copy when that is your lead, not Mail Privacy Protection or Hide My Email listing copy, not screenshot design, not Connect submission, not ranking guarantees, not QuantRadar, and not investment or legal advice. We do not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers.
