SaneBox is an intelligent system that learns from user actions and can be further personalized through customizable settings. It is like a big filter that works on the layer just before emails reach your inbox. The service creates a separate 'SaneLater' folder in your email account and when mail arrives, SaneBox decides if it needs to be discarded, enter that folder, or if can go straight into your inbox.
By structuring different tiers of importance, in addition to filtering out the e-mail that SaneBox predicts that you won’t read, users can have their e-mail organization done for them automatically. Playing off of the out of sight, out of mind ideology, SaneBox offers a variety of deferred filters, such as “SaneTomorrow” and “SaneNextWeek,” that will pull e-mails out of your inbox only to reappear tomorrow or next week, respectively. You will then receive a daily summary of the diverted messages and can set up follow-up reminders on any message at desired intervals.
By removing everything other than only the most important e-mails, a user is capable of focusing their time on only what’s urgent.
Other features include smart reminders, email snoozing, and calendar sync and Sanebox works with all of the major e-mail clients including Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Yahoo!.

Sanebox for Business
|
Email overload is a genuine business crisis. The problem is that the vast majority of emails received aren't important. Unfortunately, the few that are can easily get lost in the noise. That is a big hit on productivity and business efficiency.
An incredible amount of time is wasted in our inboxes over the course of a day. An average employee spends 13 hours a week reading and responding to email, which is a whopping 28% of our work time. The question is how much of this time could be saved by implementing the right email tools and strategies? The answer: A WHOLE LOT! Constant interruptions kill productivity Our ability as humans to concentrate is severely impacted by constant interruptions. Focusing on any task, no matter the complexity is difficult while constantly being interrupted by emails. A case study conducted by the Danwood Group found it takes 1.5 minutes on average to read and recover from an email. This case study provides a very insightful example of this dilemma and it is as follows: Lets say an employee is alerted every 5 minutes when they receive new mail, which means there’s potential for 96 interruptions in a regular 8-hour workday. If it takes 1.5 minutes to read and recover from an email this leaves 3.5 minutes until the employee is interrupted again. Now lets say this same employee changes the alert to go off every 45 minutes instead of 5, this means interruptions decrease to 11 per day. If 9 emails accumulated over 45 minutes it will take 6 minutes on average to read and recover from the interruption, which leaves 39 minutes until the next interruption. |
