Two simple ways to control which emails ever reach Bubsby.

What this does

  • Allowed senders — a list of email addresses you've approved. Only their emails come through.
  • Mute sender — a quick block straight from an email card.

When to use this

  • You've connected Gmail or Outlook and don't want every newsletter through.
  • A particular sender keeps sending things you don't need.
  • You want a quiet, focused Emails tab.

How it works

Allowed senders

  1. Open Settings → Email Intake → Allowed Senders.
  2. Add an email address (e.g. news@yourschool.edu).
  3. Optionally add wildcards like *@yourschool.edu to allow everyone from a domain.
  4. Save. Only those senders are admitted.

Mute a sender

  1. On any email card in the Emails tab, tap Mute Sender.
  2. That address won't appear again until you remove the mute in Settings.

Important things to know

  • The allowed-senders list applies to both Gmail forwarding and Outlook connections.
  • Muting is reversible — unmute in Settings → Email Intake.
  • Muted senders' emails are not stored.

Common questions

  • What happens to old emails if I mute a sender? They stay where they are. The mute is forward-looking.
  • Can I temporarily mute? Not yet — mute is on or off. You can unmute when you're ready.
