SaneBlackHole: Automatically Remove Unwanted Emails

SaneBlackHole is the fastest way to stop unwanted emails from cluttering your inbox. Simply drag messages you never want to see again into this folder, and SaneBox takes care of the rest.

Instantly File Unwanted Emails

• Just drag any unwanted message into @SaneBlackHole.
• SaneBox will automatically trash it after 7 days.

This teaches SaneBox to always send future emails from that sender straight to SaneBlackHole.

Turning SaneBlackHole On or Off

1. Go to your SaneBox Dashboard.
2. Open the Folders section.
3. Toggle @SaneBlackHole on or off.

Training SaneBlackHole

You can train SaneBlackHole in several ways:

• Drag-and-Drop in Your Email App

Move a message into SaneBlackHole from any email client.

• Through the SaneBox Digest

When reviewing your Digest, mark unwanted emails to train them to SaneBlackHole.

• Using Filters
  • Set up subject or domain filters to automatically route matching emails to SaneBlackHole.

Made a Mistake? No Problem.

• Email Still in SaneBlackHole
  • Simply drag it back to your Inbox or the correct Sane folder.
• Email Was Already Deleted
  • Visit your SaneBlackHole Trainings page.
    • Search for the sender and remove the training.
    • Restore the email from your Trash if available.

How Message Deletion Works

SaneBlackHole is designed to automatically clear out unwanted messages for you. Here’s how deletion timing works:

Standard Behavior

• Emails remain in SaneBlackHole for 7 days.
• After 7 days, SaneBox moves them to your Trash folder.

Early Deletion Conditions

To maintain optimal performance, SaneBox may delete newer SaneBlackHole emails before 7 days have passed. Early deletion happens only when certain thresholds are exceeded:

• Total Sane Folder Count > 5,000 Emails

If all Sane folders combined (SaneLater, SaneNews, SaneArchive, etc.) exceed 5,000 messages, SaneBox begins clearing SaneBlackHole first to reduce load.

• SaneBlackHole > 250 Emails

If SaneBlackHole alone grows beyond 250 messages, SaneBox will delete the newest entries until the folder is back under the limit.

Why Early Deletion Happens

These safeguards prevent slowdowns and ensure your filtering remains fast and reliable, especially for large or long-neglected inboxes.
