Set Up Forwarding

Set up forwarding rules in your email provider so newsletters automatically flow into your Muno Brief inbox. Start with one sender, confirm it works, then add more over time.

Gmail ( Filters)

Gmail requires you to "register" the forwarding address once before you can use it in a filter.

1. Register the forwarding address
  1. Go to Settings → See all settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
  2. Click Add a forwarding address.
  3. Enter xyz@forwarding.munobrief.com and verify it.

Important: Ensure the radio button "Disable forwarding" is selected so the global forwarding pipe stays closed.

2. Create a filter
  1. Click the Search options icon in the search bar.
  2. Enter your criteria, such as from:newsletter@example.com or subject: "Daily Update".
  3. Click Create filter.
  4. Check Forward it to and select the registered forwarding address from the dropdown.
  5. Click Create filter.

Microsoft Outlook ( Rules)

Outlook uses mail rules and does not require a separate forwarding address registration step.

1. Register the forwarding address
  1. No separate registration step is required in Outlook.

Important: Create a focused rule first so you can confirm only the messages you want are being sent.

  3. Name your rule, for example "Munobrief Sync".

  5. Add an action: Select Forward to and type xyz@forwarding.munobrief.com.

Fastmail ( Rules)

Fastmail uses Filters & Rules and can send a copy instead of forwarding in the traditional sense.

1. Register the forwarding address
  1. No separate registration step is required in Fastmail.

  2. Click Create Rule.
  3. Set your conditions, such as "Recipient is..." or "Body contains...".
  4. Select the action Send a copy to and enter xyz@forwarding.munobrief.com.
  5. Click Save.

2. Create a filter
  1. Go to Settings → Filters.

  3. Name it something like "Munobrief Filter".
  4. Set your conditions, for example if Subject contains "Receipt".

  6. Click Add.

Zoho Mail ( Filters)

Zoho Mail supports filters with forwarding actions and may ask you to verify the destination address.

1. Register the forwarding address
  1. If Zoho prompts for verification, complete the forwarding address verification step first.

Important: If prompted, verify the forwarding address with the code sent to your endpoint before saving the filter.

2. Create a filter
  1. Go to Settings → Filters.
  2. Click New Filter.
  3. Define your condition, for example "Sender contains...".

Forwarding Tips

A good forwarding setup is incremental. Start narrow, verify delivery, then expand your rules once you are confident everything is working.

Best practices

  • Start with one newsletter sender first.
  • Use specific filters like sender or subject.
  • Keep your provider's global forwarding disabled unless the instructions say otherwise.
  • Use your exact Muno Brief forwarding address when creating rules.

Common filter examples

  • from:newsletter@example.com
  • subject:"Daily Update"
  • from:news@company.com OR from:digest@company.com
  • label:newsletters

Tones and Steering Prompt

Your tone and steering prompt help Muno Brief decide how to summarize information and what to emphasize in your weekly brief.

What to include

  • The audience you are optimizing for, such as founder, operator, investor, or engineer.
  • The style you want, such as concise, analytical, skeptical, or friendly.
  • The signal you value most, such as market shifts, actionable tactics, or product ideas.
  • Anything you want deprioritized, such as fluff, repetition, or broad trend pieces.

Good prompt examples

  • Operator: Focus on practical tactics, summarize in a crisp executive tone, and highlight anything I can apply this week.
  • Founder: Prioritize market movement, product strategy, and distribution insights. Keep it concise and opinionated.
  • Investor: Surface non-obvious signals, emerging categories, and strong contrarian viewpoints. Avoid generic advice.
