ShortsWave messed up my email labels and organization, how can I fix this quickly?

This usually happens when ShortsWave gets permission to manage your inbox and automatically reassigns labels or categories, disrupting your existing organization.

The fastest fix is to go into your email settings (like Gmail), check “Filters and Blocked Addresses,” and remove or disable any filters created by ShortsWave.

Next, review your labels or folders and manually move miscategorized emails back, then recreate important labels if they were altered or deleted. This helps restore your structure quickly without waiting for the app to resync everything.

You should also revoke ShortsWave’s access from your Google or email account security settings to prevent further changes.

After that, refresh your inbox or log out and back in to ensure your original organization is stable again.

These are key fixes that we can offer. If you have more, please share.
