Low-value email moved out of your way

What SaneBox is

An email service that learns rather than asks you to write rules. It watches which messages you actually engage with and moves the rest into folders such as SaneLater and SaneNews, leaving the inbox for what matters.

It works with any IMAP mailbox, so you keep your existing email client.

What you can do with it

  • Divert low-priority mail out of the inbox
  • Block unwanted senders in one action
  • Set reminders to follow up on a message
  • Snooze email until later
  • Get a daily digest of what is unread
  • Manage attachments with cloud storage connections
  • Use it with Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or any IMAP service

Who it is for

  • People with long-standing inbox overload
  • Knowledge workers who will not change email client
  • Anyone who never writes filters
  • Teams wanting less email interruption

What to watch out for

  • It needs access to your mailbox to learn from it: review what it can read
  • Automatic sorting occasionally buries something important, so check the other folders
  • Mail content passes through a third-party service, which matters for regulated or confidential mail
  • Learning takes time before the sorting is accurate

FAQ

Do I have to change email client?

No. It works with Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and other IMAP services.

How does it decide what is unimportant?

From your own email behaviour rather than from fixed rules you configure.

Can it remind me to follow up?

Yes. SaneReminders and SaneSnooze are built for that.
