Can I use Newton With SaneBox? Is Newton a replacement for SaneBox?

First, does SaneBox work with Newton?

Short answer: SaneBox does work with Newton :-)

SaneBox works with pretty much every email software because we operate off of your email server. If you have SaneBox and don’t like your current email app, you can simply switch to another one without having to worry about whether SaneBox will work with it.Since CloudMagic changed their name to Newton and decided to charge for their services, we’ve been getting a lot of feedback from those that already use SaneBox. You can perform the same actions with Newton as you can with any other email app. In this article, we hope to shine some light on how you can use SaneBox with your Newton app.

Is Newton a Full Replacement for SaneBox?

Not really. Newton does provide some of the features of SaneBox. But there are quite a few differences:

  1. The Newton privacy policy is a little scary
  2. We don’t download and store your emails on our servers, and they do!
  3. We give you our Do Not Disturb feature, Attachment processing and uploading, Reply processing (automatic resends, and a folder to show emails that still need a reply), more fully featured snooze - either with folders or SaneReminder addresses, plus SaneConnections, and our filtering that is second to none.

The rest of this article explains… How you Use SaneBox with Newton…

What Do I Do With An Email After I’m Done With It?

If you are already a SaneBox customer, you’ll know all about the triage process. Once you read/reply to an email, the best practice is to either:

Delete it (if you’ll never refer to it again) Archive it (if you may need to refer to it in the future), or for rare needs File it under a hand-made topical folder/label (equivalent to archiving but more categorical).

Please note that Newton does not allow archiving multiple messages from within your personal folders. The Archiving option will only display from your Inbox.

You can customize the swipe options to better fit your needs.

What is the difference between Sane Snooze and Newton’s Snooze Options?

Newton’s snooze options are limited to just the app. Our snooze folders allow you to snooze your emails no matter where you are checking your emails. Whether you are at work using Outlook or on your phone using your email app, you can use our snooze features.
