Tame Your Inbox with Email Aliases and SaneBox Filtering
What are Email Aliases?
Imagine an email address with superpowers! Email aliases, like “bob+askmeanything@gmail.com,” let you create additional addresses that funnel emails into specific folders within your main inbox.
Why Use Aliases?
- Organize by Source: Have work emails go to “@SaneWork” and blog inquiries to “@SaneAskBobAnything” for a clutter-free inbox.
- Track Sign-Ups: Use unique aliases for different websites to see where promotional emails come from.
SaneBox Alias Filtering:
SaneBox automatically detects your email aliases and lets you customize their behavior:
- Assign Folders: Tell SaneBox where to send emails received through a specific alias.
- Fine-Tune with Training: Even with aliases, SaneBox allows further training on specific senders within an alias.
Adding and Managing Aliases:
- Go to Settings in your SaneBox menu and select Email Aliases.
- Add an Alias: Enter any email address you receive emails at and click Add.
- Control Processing: Enable or disable custom SaneBox processing for any alias using the “Is this you?” option.
Advanced Alias Settings:
- Override Training: Control which training settings can override alias filtering for specific senders.
- Missing Folders: If you don’t see a desired folder in the dropdown, you might need to enable SaneLater, SaneBlackHole, or create a custom DIY folder.
