Using Your Email Rules/Filters With SaneBox

Don’t Worry, Your Existing Email Rules Still Work with SaneBox!


SaneBox plays nicely with your existing email rules! Here’s a breakdown:


Server-Side Rules (Webmail):

  • These are rules you create directly within your webmail interface (Gmail, iCloud, Office 365, etc.).
  • They run on the email server before SaneBox even sees your messages.
  • This means your custom filtering happens first, followed by SaneBox’s magic touch.


Client-Side Rules (Email Software):

  • These are rules set up within your email client software (e.g., Outlook, Apple Mail).
  • They run on your computer and might not work all the time (e.g., if your computer is off).
  • Since SaneBox interacts directly with the email server, its processing often happens before your client-side rules kick in.


Creating Server-Side Rules:

Most webmail providers allow you to create custom email rules. Here are some helpful links:



The Bottom Line:

SaneBox and your existing email rules can work together seamlessly to create a powerful email management system. Use both for maximum email organization!
