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!
