How to Add Newsletter Sources to Muno Brief
Muno Brief works by giving each feed a unique address.
The easiest setup is usually direct signup: use your Muno Brief address when subscribing to newsletters you want included in your brief. You can still create email forwarding rules for newsletters that already land in your personal inbox.
Recommended First Setup
Start with one newsletter, not your entire inbox.
- Complete your Muno Brief profile.
- Copy your feed’s unique Muno Brief address.
- Paste that address into one newsletter signup form.
- Complete any publisher confirmation step.
- Check that the first issue arrives in Muno Brief.
- Add more newsletters gradually.
Starting small makes setup easier to confirm and easier to troubleshoot.
When to Subscribe Directly
Use direct signup when you are adding a new newsletter or when you are comfortable changing the email address for an existing newsletter subscription.
This path avoids provider forwarding settings entirely. The newsletter sends directly to your Muno Brief feed, and the source can be processed as soon as issues arrive.
Direct signup is especially useful for:
- new newsletters you are testing
- source-specific feeds such as market intelligence or competitor tracking
- newsletters that make it easy to manage your subscriber email address
When to Use Provider Forwarding
Use provider forwarding when a newsletter already lands in your personal inbox and you do not want to change the subscription email address.
Forwarding keeps your personal inbox as the source of record while sending a copy into Muno Brief. Start with one focused sender rule, confirm it works, then expand.
Gmail
Gmail usually requires registering your Muno Brief address as a forwarding destination before using it in filters.
Typical workflow:
- Open Gmail settings.
- Go to Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
- Add your Muno Brief address.
- Complete the verification step.
- Keep global forwarding disabled unless you intentionally want all mail forwarded.
- Create a filter for specific senders, subjects, or labels.
- Set the filter to forward matching mail to Muno Brief.
Good Gmail filter examples include:
from:newsletter@example.comsubject:"Daily Update"label:newsletters
Fastmail
Fastmail supports rules and can send a copy to another address.
This is often useful because you can keep the original email in Fastmail while sending a copy to Muno Brief.
Create a rule based on sender, subject, recipient, or another condition, then choose the action to send a copy to your Muno Brief address.
Proton Mail
Proton Mail supports forwarding filters on paid plans.
Create a filter, define the conditions for the newsletters you want to send to Muno Brief, then enable the forwarding action with your Muno Brief address.
If forwarding is not available in your account, check whether your Proton plan supports it.
Outlook
Outlook uses mail rules.
Create a new rule, choose a condition such as sender or subject, then add a forwarding action to your Muno Brief address.
Start with a narrow rule first so you can confirm only the intended messages are being sent.
Best Practices
Start with one source. Prefer direct signup for new newsletters. Use specific provider rules for existing subscriptions. Avoid forwarding your whole inbox. Keep different topics in separate feeds when possible.
The better your source setup, the better your briefs will be.
