What To Expect

Once onboarding is complete, the first few days are all about learning how Bulletproof works within your email app. Check out the tool tips below to help you understand how it works:
Drag emails you want to be approved here.
Move emails you want to be approved here.
Send someone an email and they will automatically be approved
Drag emails here if you never want to see them again.
Move emails here if you never want to see them again.
This is where emails from unknown senders go. We recommend checking your Bp: Evaluating folder once a day

The "drag & drop" process to move emails also works on mobile.
For mobile-
- Press the "..." menu button in the top right corner
- Select "move"

FAQ

What happens to emails that are neither ‘Approved’ nor ‘Blocked’?
Emails from new senders will go to your ‘Bp: Evaluating’ folder. New senders will automatically receive an inbox request form so you can learn why they want to contact you. When new senders complete the inbox request form, you will receive a reminder email and see the request(s) in your Bulletproof dashboard. You can update a sender within the ‘Bp: Evaluating’ folder to ‘Approved’ or ‘Blocked’ at any time.
