We believe that SSO is essential for users of email services and in general, any cloud software products because it enhances usability, security, and productivity. Therefore, we don’t upcharge our users for the Single-sign-on feature in our service.

Here’s why SSO is important:

1. Convenience and User Experience

●      Fewer passwords to remember: Users don’t need to create and remember separate passwords for each SaaS service. This reduces frustration and makes onboarding easier.

●      One login for multiple services: With a single set of credentials, users can access multiple services seamlessly, saving time and effort.

●      Faster access: No repeated logins mean quicker access to tools, which is especially valuable for work environments using multiple SaaS tools.

2. Enhanced Security

●      Reduced password fatigue: When users have fewer passwords to manage, they’re less likely to reuse weak passwords or store them insecurely.

●      Centralized authentication: SSO integrates with identity providers (like Google Workspace, and Microsoft Azure AD), enabling IT teams to enforce stronger security policies (e.g., multi-factor authentication).

●      Reduced attack surface: By consolidating authentication, SSO minimizes vulnerabilities like phishing or credential stuffing.

●      Automatic deactivation: When an employee leaves a company, deactivating their SSO credentials instantly cuts off access to all linked SaaS services, preventing unauthorized use and data leakage.

3. Improved Productivity

●      Time savings: Eliminates the need for repeated logins, allowing users to focus on tasks instead of troubleshooting login issues.

●      Streamlined onboarding: IT teams can quickly provision and grant access to new users without managing credentials for each application individually.

4. Scalability for Businesses

●      Easy integration: SSO integrates well with a growing number of SaaS products, ensuring a scalable solution as businesses adopt more tools.

●      Compliance and monitoring: Centralized logging and auditing of user activity help meet regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR) and track unauthorized access attempts.

5. Cross-Platform Accessibility

●      Many SaaS users work across devices (desktop, mobile, tablets). SSO ensures consistent access to services without repeated logins across platforms.

Use Case Example

For instance, a business using Inbox.eu, Slack, JIRA and Zoom can integrate SSO. Employees log in once using their company credentials and instantly access all these tools without needing separate passwords.

In summary, SSO simplifies user workflows, strengthens security, and helps IT administrators efficiently manage access to many SaaS products across the company.

What SSO technologies are available in Inbox.eu?

Business email users at Inbox.eu can choose between two widely used Single Sign-On (SSO) technologies:

●      SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0)

●      LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, protocol versions 2 and 3)

These technologies are designed for different use cases and operate differently. Below is a comparison table to help you understand their distinctions:

Note: Setting up SSO requires technical expertise, so we recommend involving your company’s internal IT team to obtain the necessary information about SAML or LDAP configuration.

To simplify the setup of SSO in Inbox.eu, regardless of the protocol you choose, our support team is ready to assist with the configuration! For this, you can use the help window available in the administration panel or contact us by sending a message to: support@inbox.eu.

Inbox Premium users will have access to at least 150 GB of total storage for emails, files, photos, and videos, with options to upgrade to 300 GB or 1 TB (1000 GB) of storage.

Inbox Premium users can send an unlimited number of emails per day, compared to the limit of 300 emails in the free version. Additionally, up to 250 recipients can be added per email, instead of just 50 in the free version.

A significant advantage of Inbox Premium is the ability to retain deleted emails, files, photos, and videos, as well as more frequent backups and longer archive retention.

Inbox Premium benefits apply both when using email and when using Inbox Files or Inbox Photos separately. Inbox Files allows convenient storage and sharing of all types of files, while Inbox Photos makes it easy to organize photos and videos into galleries and order photo prints. While these services are also available for free users, they come with limited storage and slower upload/download speeds.

Inbox Premium combines the features of the previous Inbox Mail+ and Inbox Files+ subscriptions into a single plan. These services will no longer be offered separately, but existing users with active subscriptions will retain all current features.

“We currently have no strategic plan to migrate all free users to Inbox Premium, as our company continues to operate effectively by selling ad space. Our advertising revenue and efficiency continue to grow, and we maintain a leading position in both visitor numbers and time spent on Inbox pages, thanks to products like Inbox News, Inbox Files, Inbox Photos, Inbox Games, XTV, and the classifieds portal PP.lv. Internal surveys also show that most free users are satisfied with the service. However, there will always be users with higher demands, and for them, we’ve created Inbox Premium,” explains Inbox.lv Product Manager Natālija Grigorjeva.

An Inbox Premium subscription with 150 GB of total storage costs €13.99 for one year or €29.99 for three years. All users can take advantage of a one-time, free 30-day trial period (more information here).
