For the month of October Tech Tips we thought we would tell you a little bit about the email filtering service, SaneBox. Many people throughout our office have begun using this service including our President, Ari. As always, reach out anytime! We are here to help.

SaneBox is an email filtering service that can help making navigating through that pile of emails in your inbox slightly easier and less stressful. For only $5 a month this service provides you with multiple ways to “make email work for you”.

The way that SaneBox works is that it determines the importance level of each email based on your previous Inbox activity. From there it moves emails which are unimportant to you to another folder thus clearing up your inbox so you can see what is actually important to you.

It also has many other useful feature:

1. Notifying you when your email is being ignored.
2. Allows you to unsubscribe to mailing lists easily.
3. Moves attachments seamlessly to the cloud for you.

These are just a few of the features that SaneBox has to offer. You can learn more about it here.

We hope these will be a time saving and productivity boosting tips for you!

Web Browsing Tricks:

• Jump to address bar – Jump right to the address bar from anywhere in browser by pressing CTRL + L.
• Bring back a closed tab – Accidentally closed a tab? Simply press CTRL + Shift + T to reopen the most recently closed tab and get back to what you were doing.
• Use private browsing – The uses for not having cookies and history saved might come in handy when shopping for gifts on a shared computer. Pressing CTRL + Shift + P will launch a new private window in Firefox and Internet Explorer and CTRL + Shift + N will do the same thing in Chrome.

Need to Take a Quick Screenshot?

*In Windows, PrintScreen key copies the whole screen image, as a graphic, onto your invisible Clipboard, so you can paste into an e-mail message or any other program. If you add the Alt key, you copy only the front window.

*On a Mac, press Command-Shift-3. (Command is the key with the propeller on it, next to the Space bar.) You hear a snapshot sound, and you get a graphics file on your desktop—a picture of the entire screen image.

*If you press Command-Shift-4 instead, you get a crosshair cursor; you can draw across just one portion of the screen. Or, if you now tap the Space bar, you turn the cursor into a little camera icon. You can now click on just one window or toolbar that you want to copy.

*In both cases, you can hold down the Control key to copy the image to the Clipboard instead of leaving a file on the hard drive.
