Outer Lebesgue measure of countable union of almost disjoint boxes

If a set is expressible as a countable union of almost disjoint boxes, then what is it's outer Lebesgue measure?

Outer Lebesgue measure of countable union of almost disjoint boxes

Let E=n=1Bn be a countable union of almost disjoint boxes. Then

[m(E)=?]

What else equals the RHS above? We can say the following:

For a countable union of disjoint boxes, the Lebesgue outer measure is equal to the Jordan inner measure.
