About this tool

SaneBox is a long-running email management service that uses AI to filter and organize messages across Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo and any IMAP account, without installing a new client. After connecting an inbox, it learns which senders matter and automatically moves less important mail into folders like SaneLater, SaneNews and SaneBlackHole, leaving the main inbox for messages that need attention. Features include Do Not Disturb, snooze, attachment offloading to Dropbox or Google Drive, daily digest summaries and one-click training. SaneBox runs entirely on the server side and never stores message bodies, which it uses as a privacy selling point. It is aimed at professionals and executives buried under email who want a low-touch way to clean up their inbox, and is sold on monthly or annual subscriptions.
