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:
-
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.
-
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.
