How to Set Up Newsletter Forwarding Into Muno Brief

Muno Brief works by giving you a unique forwarding address for your feed.

You can use that address to subscribe to newsletters directly, or you can create email forwarding rules from your existing inbox. Most users should start with forwarding rules because they let you keep your existing subscriptions.

Basic Setup

The recommended setup is:

  1. Complete your Muno Brief profile.
  2. Copy your feed’s unique forwarding email address.
  3. Choose one newsletter sender to test first.
  4. Create a forwarding rule in your email provider.
  5. Confirm the newsletter arrives in Muno Brief.
  6. Add more newsletters gradually.

Starting small makes setup easier to debug.

Keep Your Existing Subscriptions

You do not need to unsubscribe and resubscribe to everything.

In most cases, you can keep your current newsletter subscriptions and forward selected newsletters into Muno Brief. This lets your personal inbox remain the source of record while Muno Brief becomes the intelligence layer.

Gmail

Gmail usually requires registering the forwarding address before using it in filters.

Typical workflow:

  1. Open Gmail settings.
  2. Go to Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
  3. Add your Muno Brief forwarding address.
  4. Complete the verification step.
  5. Keep global forwarding disabled unless you intentionally want all mail forwarded.
  6. Create a filter for specific senders, subjects, or labels.
  7. Set the filter to forward matching mail to Muno Brief.

Good Gmail filter examples include:

  • from:newsletter@example.com
  • subject:"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 forwarding 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.

Aliases and Direct Subscriptions

You can also subscribe directly to newsletters using your Muno Brief forwarding address.

That can be useful for a dedicated feed, but forwarding from your existing inbox is usually easier when you already have many subscriptions.

Best Practices

Start with one sender. Use specific filters. Avoid forwarding your whole inbox. Keep different topics in separate feeds when possible.

The better your forwarding setup, the better your briefs will be.

Keep the sources. Skip the inbox.

Muno Brief turns trusted newsletters into one clear weekly brief, shaped by your priorities and linked back to the original source.
