Verifying Your Email Account Settings for SaneBox with Apple Mail
Important Note: SaneBox works best with IMAP-enabled email accounts. POP accounts won’t show SaneBox folders.
Checking Your Account Type:
- Open the Mail app on your Mac.
- Click on Mail in the menu bar and select Preferences.
- In the left pane, choose the email account you use with SaneBox.
- Click on the Server Settings tab.
- On the Server Settings page, you can see your:
- Account Type: Ensure it’s set to IMAP (not POP).
- Incoming Mail Server Name
- Username
If your account type is POP, you’ll need to switch to IMAP to access SaneBox folders. Refer to pop2imap.com for guidance on switching.
ActiveSync Users:
Skip these steps if your email server uses ActiveSync. Simply enter your email address during SaneBox setup, and SaneBox will configure the rest.
SaneBox Compatibility:
SaneBox works with most email providers and clients (excluding a very small number of POP-only providers).
Focus on Important Emails:
SaneBox helps you prioritize your inbox by moving less important emails to a “SaneLater” folder. This lets you focus on what matters most and deal with the rest later when you have time.
