Use these shortcuts and time-saving tricks to maximize Boxer's efficiency.

Perform Quick Actions on Boxer

To launch a quick action menu, tap and hold the Boxer icon on your home screen. This menu supports the following shortcut actions:

Options Descriptions

New Event Directly access the New Event page.
New Contact Directly access the Create Contact page.

Send Quick Replies through Response Templates

With the Quick Reply feature, you can quickly reply to your emails without tapping Reply or Send.

You can also modify the existing responses and create templates for your response by navigating to Settings > Quick templates > Add templates.

Refine Your Email Search

Finding a specific email in an overloaded email inbox can be a challenge. While the quickest way to find an email might be using keywords, sender’s, or recipient’s name, this type of search often returns massive search results.

To help you refine your search and quickly find the email, you are looking for, Boxer provides you with advanced search filters.

Tapping All filters from your search screen displays the All filters screen with advanced search filters. If you have selected the From, To, Subject, or Has attachment filters from your search screen, these filters appear pre-filled in the All filters screen.

The advanced search filters are:

  • Has attachment – Shows emails that have attachments. This filter is also available on your search screen.
  • Flagged - Shows the emails that you have flagged.
  • Unread – Shows unread messages.
  • Period – Shows the emails for a specific time range. The default period is All time. Tap the filter to see more options. You can set the period to show you the emails from the past 7, 14, or 30 days.
The All filters notification counter shows you the number of selected filters.
Note: Adding more filters narrows your search and makes it more restrictive, and returns a focused search result helping you quickly find the email.

To help you save time, Boxer saves and displays your past searches in the newest to oldest order using which you can rerun a search without selecting the search filters again.

Change the Default Web Browser

If configured by your administrator, you can change the default web browser to open websites in Safari or Chrome. To change the browser settings, navigate to Settings > Advanced and set the browser from the list.

Send Automatic Out of Office Replies

To set up out of office replies to incoming messages, select the account in the Boxer settings and enable the Out of Office option.

Stay Connected with Your VIPs

Imagine a situation where you are on a deadline with a client or working on any critical project with your boss. Any email from these contacts might require your immediate action. Workspace ONE Boxer helps you prioritize these VIP contacts. With the Boxer’s VIP Contact feature, you can create a list of VIP contacts and set a custom notification sound for the list. You can find the configuration of this VIP list in Settings > your exchange account > VIP notifications. This feature requires Email Notification Service (ENS2). To activate VIP notifications, your admin must configure Boxer with ENS2.

Create Unique Email Signatures

An email signature is automatically applied to the email sent from the Workspace ONE Boxer application. You can modify the default signature with a customized message of your preference. To do so, navigate to Settings and select the account to which you want to add a signature. To create and preview the HTML signature, use the HTML enabled option. You can disable the HTML enabled option when adding tags.

Quickly Join Online Meetings

You can quickly join online meetings such as Skype for Business, Webex, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom with one tap from the calendar invitation.

Add Siri Shortcuts

To access quickly the information you need, you can enable Siri Shortcuts. Workspace ONE Boxer provides the following Siri Shortcuts:
  • View upcoming Boxer meeting
  • View Boxer agenda for the day
  • Dial into your next Boxer meeting

To enable Siri Shortcuts in Boxer, you can navigate to iOS Settings > Siri & Search > Boxer > Siri & Suggestions or Boxer Settings > Advanced > Siri Shortcuts and record your Siri suggestions.

You can also combine Boxer with Apple's Shortcuts application to create more complex workflows.

Report Spam and Phishing Messages

If configured by your administrator, you can report any suspicious email as phishing or spam. You must long press on the email message and select the Phishing or Spam option from the action grid. After reporting an email message as phishing, the original reported email is permanently deleted.

Switch to Dark Mode

Boxer follows the iOS Dark Mode settings. When in Dark Mode, in the email detail screen, you can toggle an email's contents back into light mode with the sun or moon toggle. This feature requires iOS 13 and later.

Compose Your Emails in a Unique Way

Workspace ONE Boxer introduces a new email compose view. By default, this feature is enabled on Boxer 5.14. The new email compose view includes the following features:
  • Move recipients between the To, Cc, and Bcc boxes.
  • Automatically performs a spell check on the email body.
  • Highlights the external recipients in orange with an external recipients icon.
  • Automatically collapses the To, Cc, and Bcc boxes to give you more space to write your email.
