SaneBox
an email management software as a service that integrates with IMAP and Exchange Web Services email accounts.
What is SaneBox?
SaneBox is an email management tool that works with your existing email account to reduce inbox clutter and save time on email organisation. It integrates with IMAP and Exchange Web Services accounts, meaning it works with most major email providers including Gmail, Outlook, and others. The service uses automated filtering to sort low-priority emails into a separate folder, helping you focus on messages that actually need your attention. Rather than forcing you to learn a new email system, SaneBox sits alongside your current setup and handles the sorting work in the background. It's aimed at professionals and teams who receive high email volumes and want to reclaim time spent on email management without switching platforms.
