Seeing Double: Emails in Inbox and SaneLater (Gmail Issue)
You might see the same email appear in both your Inbox and SaneLater. This is due to Gmail’s “Conversations” feature.
Here’s why:
- Conversations:
- When enabled, Gmail groups emails related to the same topic into a single thread.
SaneLater & Training:
SaneLater uses email content and previous training to decide what to snooze.
Potential Duplicates:
With many emails in a conversation thread:
- Parts of the conversation might appear in both your Inbox (unread messages) and SaneLater (previously snoozed messages).
- This happens because individual emails within the thread might have different senders or training history.
Solutions:
- Ignore Duplicates: Feel free to ignore these seemingly duplicate emails. SaneLater will manage them as intended.
- Turn Off Conversations: If you prefer a single location for related emails, head to your Gmail Settings page and disable Conversations under the “General” tab.
- Remember: SaneBox works best alongside your existing email habits. Choose the solution that best suits your workflow.
