What’s the point on the email category (iOS and macOS)
I‘ve had created all my email accounts in the email category in my vault.
Now when I‘m trying to sign in 1password only shows my logins but not my email category.
So I can‘t login natively on iOS Spark, Airmail, Canary. This also happens when I try to login to websites of my mail providers.
TL;DR:
Why there is an mail category when you can’t access those informations?
1Password Version: 7.7.6
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided
Sync Type: Not Provided

But why do you hide those necessary settings and don’t give us the possibility to search in those categories?
Not only for webmail but also for the apps? I really don’t get the point on that.When you do a fresh installation of e.g. Spark it will ask for your server settings and password.
There’s no way to access those information but copy them one by one from mail category to the necessary fields.Everything I store inside 1password and can’t access everywhere seems useless - at least to me.

I'm not entirely sure I follow. You should be able to search and find the information you've stored in 1Password regardless of what category it is in.

There is no mechanism on macOS for filling such information into non-web browser apps at present.

1Password is still a safe and convenient place to store such information, despite the fact we cannot fill it.
When you do a fresh installation of e.g. Spark it will ask for your server settings and password.
There’s no way to access those information but copy them one by one from mail category to the necessary fields.You can also drag and drop from 1Password into Spark, but as I say there isn't any way we could fill this information automatically with the technology currently available.
Does that help answer your questions? Please let me know. If I'm not understanding please feel free to rephrase.

To do this you’ll have to open 1PW. But you can’t do this within apps or in the web.

I‘ll guess you mean macOS but I‘m talking about iOS and iPadOS.
@MacOS: At the moment I‘m out of reach of my Mac but I remember that Big Sur has an option for filling apps. But maybe I’m wrong here.@iOS: I could access 1PW within apps that require an password. However I only can switch between vaults but can’t look into the mail category.

My apologies; you were in the right place. Not sure why I had macOS in my mind. :) Drag and drop is also possible on iPadOS, though:

Indeed, but for usernames and passwords only, not other fields I'm afraid. Additionally we ran into some difficulty while trying to implement this for 1Password for Mac and as a result we do not yet have integration with the macOS Password Autofill feature.

In the 1Password for iOS app you cannot see the Email Account category? You wouldn't see it in the iOS Password Autofill feature because we can't fill from that category. We only show categories we can fill from within Password Autofill. As with the same feature on macOS, it can only fill usernames and passwords.
