Inbox.lv has made changes to the design of the Inbox.lv homepage. However, these aren’t just visual changes – this is a carefully considered evolution to make the homepage simpler, calmer, and easier to use, both for today’s users and for future needs.
Inbox.lv announced the homepage design changes a month in advance, aware that some users might react strongly to any changes, or worry that they’d landed on the wrong page.

A calmer, more focused design

“Over the years, the previous version had become colorful and visually saturated. It contained a lot of information, a lot of highlighted elements, and more components competing for the user’s attention at the same time. That’s why in the new version we deliberately chose a cleaner, brighter, and calmer approach, so that the most important things would stand out faster and the page would be easier to read day to day,” explains Jevgenijs Kuzņecovs, co-owner and board member of Inbox.lv responsible for technology and product development.

“We reduced visual noise, organized the information hierarchy, and created more open space between elements. This helps the eyes tire less and allows the user to more quickly understand where the main actions are – login, registration, email, files, news, and other services,” Jevgenijs Kuzņecovs clarifies.

Room to grow

The new design already has space reserved for practical everyday widgets, such as weather and name days. In the future, this area can be expanded with other useful elements, making the homepage not only more convenient but also more personal and informative.

“Inbox.lv is no longer just email. Users actively use news, file storage, photo and video albums, games, contacts, and calendar. The portal’s previous design could no longer display these services conveniently and clearly,” explains Jevgenijs Kuzņecovs on the need for change.

A nod to history: the little egg

“In updating the homepage design, we also wanted to preserve a connection to Inbox.lv’s history. During the process, our colleagues rediscovered a very old symbol of ours – the little egg, which was part of Inbox.lv’s image almost 20 years ago. Many had already forgotten about it, which is exactly why it seemed interesting to bring it back in a new, modern form. It’s a small but heartfelt reminder of Inbox.lv’s beginnings and the brand’s development over the years. Historically, the egg symbolized a new user – a starting point for growth and opportunity. In the new interpretation, it has gained additional meaning: when you click on the egg, it cracks, symbolizing the transition to the next stage of development. In this way, the egg becomes a metaphor for the user’s growth and the opportunity to discover a fuller Inbox.lv experience by choosing the Premium version, with additional features and an ad-free environment,” adds Jevgenijs Kuzņecovs.

Passwords come with familiar problems: they get forgotten, reused across services, and exposed in data breaches. That is why the Inbox.eu Business admin panel now offers one-time code login — a passwordless way to sign in. What passwordless login is, which types of one-time codes exist, and what this approach changes in practice – read on below.

What is passwordless login?

Passwordless login means confirming your identity without typing a static password. Instead of something you have to remember, you use something you receive at the moment of signing in – for example a one-time passcode (OTP): a short code that works once and expires within minutes.

The main types of one-time passcodes

One-time codes come in several forms, and you have likely met most of them:

• Email OTP – the code is sent to your email address. This is the method the Business admin panel uses.
• SMS OTP – the code arrives by text message. Convenient, but generally considered the weakest option, as phone numbers can be hijacked through SIM swapping.
• Authenticator apps (TOTP) – an app such as Google Authenticator generates time-based codes on your device, even offline.
• Magic links – instead of a code, you receive a sign-in link and click it.
• Hardware tokens – a physical device generates or holds the code; common in high-security environments.

Each balances convenience and security differently. For an admin panel that manages email, an email OTP is a natural fit: the inbox you already control becomes the key.

How it works in the Business admin panel

When you open the Inbox.eu Business Admin panel sign-in page, you can:

• Continue with GitHub, Google, or Facebook – sign in through an account you already have.
• Continue with email – enter your address, and we will send a six-digit, single-use code to your inbox.

New users are then guided to setup to add a domain and create mailboxes; returning users land directly in the admin panel.

What this approach changes in practice

1. There is no stored password to steal. Credential theft relies on passwords that can be leaked, guessed, or reused across services. A one-time code removes that target: leaked password databases contain nothing that opens your admin panel.
2. A code has a short life. A stolen password can be used indefinitely; an intercepted code expires within minutes and works only once.
3. No reset flows. Forgotten passwords and reset emails disappear from your routine — every sign-in works the same way.
4. Signing in from a new device is straightforward. There is nothing to retrieve from a password manager or type from memory; you only need access to your inbox.

One honest note: because your inbox becomes the key, the security of that email account matters more than ever. Enabling two-factor authentication on it is a good habit regardless of how you log in.

Setting up SSO for your team

One-time code login covers your access to the admin panel itself. If you manage mailboxes for a team, the admin panel also lets you configure Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML or LDAP, so your mailbox users sign in through your organisation’s identity provider, for example – Keycloak or other similar solution by your Organisation’s IT departments choice. In short: code login is for the administrator, SSO is for your users.

The classic way remains available

Not everyone wants to change how they log in, and the choice stays with you. Your password is not going anywhere: select “Use legacy password instead” on the sign-in screen and continue exactly as before. One-time code login is an additional option, not a replacement.

Try it yourself

One-time code login is available now for Business admin accounts. The next time you sign in, try it – no password required. Manage your business email from one dashboard →

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.

What Has Changed?
Previously, each Inbox.lv service (Mail, Files, Foto) had separate storage limits. Now, all free accounts are allocated 20 GB of shared storage, which you can use as you see fit—whether you need more space for emails or for files and photos.

Key Benefits for Inbox.lv Users:
• More Flexibility – You decide how to use your available storage. Some may need more space for emails, while others prefer to store larger files.
• Simplified Management – A unified storage system is easier to understand and manage, eliminating the need to track different limits for each service.
• More Efficient Resource Usage – Inbox.lv can better distribute server resources and optimize data storage, ensuring faster access.

Where Can You View and Manage Storage?
To check how much space your files and emails are using, go to your Inbox.lv account settings – > Manage Your Account

You can also monitor your total storage usage in the Inbox.lv Mail interface, where the percentage of used space is displayed on the left side of the screen. Currently, this feature is not yet available in Inbox.lv mobile apps but may be introduced in the future.

Need More Space in Your Account?
If 20 GB is not enough, you can upgrade to Inbox.lv Premium, which offers up to 1 TB of additional storage. Moreover, Inbox Premium provides an ad-free email experience and even more secure file storage. For full details on Premium plans and cost-effective annual or 3-year subscriptions, visit Inbox.lv’s website.

How to use Labels?
• Create labels according to your preferences, such as “Work”, “Personal”, “Bills”, “Studies”, “School”, “To Check”, etc.
• There is a limit to label names, choose short words.
• Tag emails with one or more labels in any folder.
• View emails sorted by labels.
• Use filters to automatically assign labels to emails from specific senders or with particular subjects.

Advantages of Labels:
• Convenient organization – quickly tag and highlight important emails for easy access.
• Search by labels – easily find emails marked with a specific label, regardless of the folder they are in.
• Automatic label assignment – create filters that automatically assign labels to emails from specific senders or subjects.
• Increased productivity – save time searching for needed emails by focusing on important messages.

Availability:
The “Labels” feature is available to all users. By default, you can use 3 labels, but if you need to organize your mail more thoroughly, upgrade to Mail+ where 10 labels are available.

Setup and Usage:
You can set up and modify labels in the email settings, under the “Labels” section, or directly below your folder list on the left side. Labels are displayed in both the web version of the email and in mobile apps for Android and iOS, providing you access to organized correspondence anytime, anywhere.

Try using labels to streamline and expedite your email management!
