Smartphone Alerts: Make my iPhone stop alerting me about SaneLater emails

Stop SaneLater Alerts on iPhone (iOS)

Getting notifications for emails sent to SaneLater? Here’s how to silence them:


Why the Alerts?

Push notifications sometimes deliver emails faster than SaneBox can file them. This can trigger alerts for emails you don’t need immediate action on.


Solutions:

  1. Turn Off Push: This delays new emails by a minute, allowing SaneBox to file them first and avoid unnecessary alerts. Here’s how (image included):

    • Open Settings > Mail.
    • Tap “Accounts” and select your email account.
    • Toggle “Push” to Off.


  1. Use VIP Inbox: Configure Mail to only notify you for emails from important contacts.

    • Open the Mail app.
    • Tap “VIP” below your Inbox.
    • Tap the “i” icon (info symbol).
    • Tap “Add VIP” and choose your important contacts.
    • Now you’ll only receive notifications for VIP emails, not SaneLater emails.


Bonus: Set custom alert sounds for your VIP inbox (optional).


Remember:

  • You can always check your SaneLater folder later when you have time.
  • Increase the Daily Digest frequency (up to hourly) to receive fewer interruptions throughout the day.
    • Manage your digest preferences here: https://www.sanebox.com/dashboard/settings/digest


This way, you can stay focused and avoid distractions from emails meant for later review in SaneLater.
