Daily Digest: How To Guide

Daily Digest

The SaneBox Daily Digest gives you a single place to review emails that SaneBox has filtered out of your Inbox. Instead of checking multiple folders throughout the day, you can quickly review, organize, and take action on messages directly from your Digest.

What is the Daily Digest?

The Daily Digest is a summary of emails that SaneBox has filtered into folders such as @SaneLater and @SaneNews. It helps ensure you never miss an important message while keeping your Inbox focused on the emails that matter most.

Unlike a traditional email summary, the Digest is interactive. You can review messages, move them, train SaneBox, archive them, and more without leaving the Digest.

Daily Snapshot

At the top of your Digest, you’ll find a Daily Snapshot that provides a quick overview of your email activity.

Time Saved

This estimate reflects how much time SaneBox saved by automatically organizing lower priority messages and reducing Inbox interruptions.

Emails Received

Displays the total number of emails received during the reporting period.

You may also see trend indicators showing how your activity compares to previous periods.

Reviewing Your Digest

Messages are organized by folder, making it easy to review similar types of emails together.

You can switch between:

  • Show All – Displays emails from all Digest folders.
  • @SaneLater – Displays only emails in @SaneLater.
  • @SaneNews – Displays only emails in @SaneNews.

This allows you to focus on specific categories of email or review everything at once. The folders shown in your Digest will depend on which SaneBox folders are currently enabled on your account. If you have additional Digest eligible folders enabled, they may appear here as separate tabs. Likewise, if certain folders are disabled, they will not appear.

For example:

  • Users with only @SaneLater enabled may see just a single folder tab.
  • Users with both @SaneLater and @SaneNews enabled will see separate tabs for each folder.
  • Users with additional Digest compatible folders may see additional tabs.

The Show All view combines messages from all available Digest folders into a single review screen.

Reviewing Individual Messages

Each message in your Digest includes several actions.

Move to Inbox

Moves the selected message back to your Inbox and helps SaneBox learn that similar emails may be more important.

Move

Move the message to another folder.

Train

Teach SaneBox how future messages from that sender should be handled.

Archive

Archive the message without opening it.

Remove

Delete the message from the Digest and place in your trash folder.

Grouped Messages

When multiple emails arrive from the same sender, SaneBox may group them together to reduce clutter.

For example, several shipping notifications, newsletters, or account updates from the same sender may appear as a single group.

You can:

  • Expand a group to view all messages.
  • Collapse a group when you’re finished reviewing it.
  • Review related emails together without scrolling through multiple entries.
Bulk Actions

If you want to process multiple emails at once, use the selection checkboxes next to each message.

Once messages are selected, additional bulk actions become available.

Depending on the action selected, you can:

  • Move multiple emails to your Inbox.
  • Move multiple emails to another folder.
  • Archive multiple emails.
  • Delete multiple emails.
  • Train SaneBox using multiple messages.

You can also use Select All to process an entire Digest section at once.

Be careful with Select All and which tab you are on. If you are in “Show All” and select all, it will select every email in the digest for every trainable folder in your digest. In the screenshot above, you see that I have only selected all emails in my SaneLater folder.

Folder Actions

Each folder section includes additional actions for managing all emails in that category.

Read All

Marks all messages in the section as reviewed.

Archive All

Archives all messages in the section.

Trash All
Moves all emails to your trash folder

These actions are useful when you’ve quickly scanned a section and don’t need to review each message individually.

Compact View

For users who receive larger Digests, Compact View provides a faster way to review messages.

Enable Compact View using the toggle in the upper right corner of the Digest.

Compact View:

  • Displays more messages on screen at once.
  • Replaces text labels with icons.
  • Reduces visual clutter.
  • Makes scanning large Digests faster.

All actions remain available while using Compact View.

Standard vs. Compact View

Done Reviewing

When you’ve finished reviewing your Digest, click Done Reviewing.

This marks the Digest as complete and helps keep your review workflow organized.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Digest
  • Review your Digest daily to stay aware of messages filtered out of your Inbox.
  • Use Train when messages consistently belong somewhere else.
  • Use folder filters to focus on one category at a time.
  • Use Compact View when reviewing larger Digests.
  • Use bulk actions to process multiple messages quickly.

The Daily Digest serves as your safety net, helping ensure that important messages are never overlooked while keeping your Inbox focused and distraction free.
