Boxbe Blog

We launched Boxbe for Yahoo! Mail back in the fall. Here is a quick overview of how it works.

Boxbe Waiting List

No need to come to the Boxbe Web site to view messages on your Waiting List. We’ll move all your unwanted messages into a new folder in your existing Yahoo! Mail account.

Your Boxbe Waiting List folder will contain all the messages from guests you haven’t yet approved.

Sort messages easily

We’ve added the Boxbe Junk Score to the subject line of all messages in your Waiting List. Sorting by subject will help you find messages that are less likely to be junk.

This makes it easier to find messages from senders that you might want to add to your Guest List. Additionally, you can easily search messages in the Waiting List using Yahoo! Mail’s search tool.

Approve Guests within Yahoo! Mail

If you decide a message isn’t junk, clicking the “Approve” link from within the message in the Waiting List adds the sender to your Guest List and moves the message into your Yahoo! Mail inbox.

Automatically add new guests

Finally, when you send an email to a new friend, you have the option of adding them automatically to your Guest List. The idea here is that you don’t want people you’ve emailed to have take a test or pay a fee to email you back.

Boxbe for Yahoo! Mail is easy to set up and it’s absolutely free.

(Not a Yahoo! Mail user? Boxbe works with Gmail and a plugin for Microsoft Outlook is currently in beta testing.)
