Start here: 3 Steps to Regain Control of Your Inbox
It all begins at your dashboard — your personal control panel to manage your account and activate SaneBox features.
- Turn on SaneLater and defer non-urgent emails
Unimportant messages automatically move to your SaneLater folder, keeping you focused on what matters.
Pro tip
If a VIP’s message goes to SaneLater, move it back to your inbox. This trains our AI where to file it next time.
- Drag annoying messages into the SaneBlackHole
Move an email to the SaneBlackHole and you’ll never hear from that email address again. Ever.
Pro tip
Review how you’re training SaneBox on your Trainings & Filters page. You can see who’s heading to the black hole, or change your preferences quickly and easily.
- Use SaneReminders and never miss a follow-up
CC or BCC a reminder address like 3days@sanebox.com and you’ll get a reminder if someone hasn’t replied to your message.
Pro tip
If you just want to defer dealing with an email, forward it to a reminder address and specify a time. Ta-da: it’ll show up at the top of your inbox right when you need a nudge.
Level Up: SaneBox Masterclass
- Switch on SaneNews to save newsletters for later
Keep distractions at bay by enabling SaneNews — all your reading material goes to one place.
Pro tip
Train SaneBox by dragging newsletters and updates into your SaneNews folder. They’ll automatically go there next time.
- Process emails faster by reviewing your Digest
Want an executive summary of the emails in your SaneLater and other folders? You got it. You can get through them in a flash by bulk archiving, deleting, or marking them as read.
Pro tip
Digests are color-coded for easy consumption. Green dots are next to unfamiliar senders, orange dots flag messages you might want to avoid.
- Customize your preferences from your SaneBox dashboard
Your dashboard is mission control for your SaneBox account. This is where you can activate key features and update your preferences to ensure SaneBox files and filters your emails exactly how you want.
Pro tip
Create custom folders by going to DIY Folders under Trainable Folders, then move a few emails there. SaneBox will sort future emails from those senders into your custom folders automatically.
