### "Great features, a bit of a learning curve, but helps keep email a bit less crazy!"

March 6, 2019

5.0

Pros

SaneBox does a nice job of organizing your emails into different categories that help you prioritize the way you read emails. Instead of getting all sorts of emails sent to your inbox, SaneBox automatically takes certain emails from senders and places them into boxes that you can check less frequently to make reading emails more efficient. What's nice about SaneBox is that you can "train" it to automatically send emails from certain senders right into a designated box. Pricing tiers give you a decent price point to get started. For people who get a lot of email and are looking to make things a bit more efficient, SaneBox is a great option to consider.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve, for sure, and it takes a while for you to figure out just how you personally would like to use it. For my purposes, for example, I have my main inbox, and then I have a Sane Later box and a Sane News box. Those are my primary three boxes, and I check those regularly. I can train other emails that I don't want to go to the black hole box so I never see them again in the future without unsubscribing. It just takes some time to set it up and then learn how to use it. Because there are no hard and fast rules on how people "should" use it, there is sort of a lack of definitive support when you are looking for it sometimes.

### "My one app that never fails me."

November 19, 2021

5.0

I thought I would test it for one year as a tryout, but once I added it to my daily work/life schedule I knew I could never go back to an unmanaged system. The software has been very beneficial in saving me so much time and only once I have had to contact them and found the team behind it to offer great support. I have it set to auto renew and rely on it and their team to be there everyday.

Pros

Sane Box saves me time. My day is usually filled with work and life, so sorting through well over a hundred emails to find the important ones is not the time I have to waste. SaneBox does that for me. And if there is a questionable email that they allow me to decide on, I can simply drag it to the right folder and it's set to repeat that each time after. So simple and efficient.

Cons

I feel that the software has features I haven't even begun to use and those I have, are working great. So my one negative is not taking the time to use it a full capacity.

### "Sanebox restored sanity"

October 1, 2021

5.0

This product saves me at least 5 hours per week. I'm a consultant so my business literally is responding to client questions by email. Seamlessly integrates with Outlook Office 365 Enterprise.

Pros

I was getting several hundred emails per day that were not junk, but did not require action. The Sane Later feature allows me to skim through and a few seconds delete them all, while finding the 1 or two that required action but sender was not previously whitewashed. I love that dragging to inbox trains the system instantly to do that the next time from that sender. Now I can focus on the 75-100 actionable emails per day.

Cons

Nothing to dislike. I've only focused on the Sane Later feature.

June 12, 2023

Great tool that I use everyday

Pros

The quick categorization helps me Toya. Spend time on emails that require review, but hardly to none on other emails.

Cons

None that I can think of right now. Nice product.

### "Sanebox Blackhole is the best!!"

November 21, 2022

5.0

Efficiency has increased and also being reminded to follow up or that I haven’t had a response is AMAZING!

Pros

The best feature about this software is the Sanebox blackhole, I like training spam and unwanted junk into it and then I never see or hear from them again!!

Cons

I can’t afford all the add ons (some of them would be a cool addition) but I like the fact I don’t get lumped with everything I may not need

### "Excellent product"

November 9, 2022

5.0

Excellent product that I have used for years

Pros

The routing and blacklisting of emails into the appropriate folders saves me hours during every day and ensures I can now concentrate on key senders of important emails.

Cons

Although I understand it’s a safety feature I’m not sure I need to review all the emails I have routed or blacklisted

### "Strong tool to help declutter and prioritize busy inboxes"

September 16, 2021

5.0

I have seen the difference it makes for an inbox that receives hundreds of emails a day of varying requests and purposes ranging from spam to family obligations to important data from the accountant. It really is a time saver for someone who does not have enough time to touch hundreds of emails a day to determine which ones need to be handled.

Pros

SaneBox learns from the user's decisions. If the user marks an email as "Important", SaneBox collects data on the email, so when something comes in that is similar, it will automatically mark it as "Important".

Cons

My least favorite feature of SaneBox is that is is not that different from most of the same features offered by Gmail and Outlook in terms of filters, labels, and color-coding options. But, this is a service that integrates with your email provider and costs additional money. It is as though the cost is simply to have the smart learning feature I mentioned above and the time saved not manually creating filters.

### "Best tool to organize and sort your email."

October 16, 2021

5.0

They have great customer service, they are flexible and accommodate to your needs.

Pros

This software organize all your emails accounts in a very simple and intuitive way in different boxes, so that you only see in your inbox what you really need.

Cons

At first I doubted because it was not in my mind to pay for a service like this. But then I loved it.

### "Thank you, Sanebox!"

November 21, 2022

5.0

I have been using Sanebox for years, and I really don't know how I would manage my inbox without it. Sanebox makes it possible for me to concentrate on my most important emails first -- and later address emails that are less urgent. The daily email helps me establish good email habits, without spending half my day in my inbox.

Pros

Sanebox works well with multiple email accounts. It's easy to control filters, and Sanebox sends me a message each day of less urgent messages to review.

Cons

I can't think of anything that I would change about Sanebox.

### "Sanebox saves met hours"

November 1, 2021

5.0

Overall, it's a great time saver.

Pros

Sanebox keeps my inbox manageable throughout the day (I get a few hundred "real" emails a day. And I can quickly go through the @Sanelater and other folders and keep or read the few that i need to see.

Cons

For my puposes, it's pretty easy to set up and use. I have a number of email accounts and it's on most of them.

### "Very Useful Software"

October 15, 2021

5.0

Very easy to set up and modify. Great to be able to have it snooze messages too

Pros

I use Google Mail and was not satisfied with it's sorting ability. This software is great a sorting and bringing important and urgent items to my attention. I also love the black hole feature. Dump spam and never see it again.

Cons

I wish I could sort into more categories. But that is just my attention to detail.

### "Organized emails save me lots of time every day."

October 29, 2021

5.0

Before I got SaneBox, I would do an email sorting activity every day, moving messages to different folders in my email application according to their urgency and importance to today's work which sometimes took a half hour or more before I could even respond to the ones I judged important. Now that step has been taken care of by my "executive assistant" which presents me with all the messages neatly organized according to my established rules. It saves me at least a half hour per day and probably more.

Pros

I found it easy to set up and train. After the initial training, the reviews of new emails are also very easy to do. When I look at my emails in the morning, I don't have to wade through less important or irrelevant messages to find the ones I need to work on today - they have already been sorted for me! It's almost like having an executive assistant.

Cons

Can't think of anything I don't like about the software.

### "SaneBox is an excellent product and a must have for anyone with a busy inbox "

October 28, 2021

5.0

I use SaneBox all the time and its now part of my experience for email. Its just there and works all the time. An excellent, "can't do without" product.

Pros

Ease of pushing emails out to a date when you need them. Ease of only seeing those email that need to be seen in the inbox and quickly managing those that don't need immediate action away from the inbox.

Cons

There is nothing I dislike. There is nothing I dislike.

### "Safety First"

October 1, 2021

5.0

Very pleased. I like most the Sane Black Hole feature. It tends to keep spam repeating to a minimum

Pros

I like most that it enables me to see only the most relevant emails. It deletes nothing, but culls the essential.

Cons

SaneBox asking me to review the choices I've made. I know what I did and why.

### "Sanity Restored"

December 19, 2018

5.0

Because of SaneBox I am able to focus on my clients and planning customized travel itineraries, growing my agency and working on the numerous projects I have in the works. I can relax knowing that my clients trip requests will not be get lost amid all of the endless newsletters and supplier emails I receive daily. Sanebox has saved me hours daily, I am on top of my email game and am so organized. I know exactly what folder an email is in. My bottom line has also increased because prior to implementing SaneBox I missed client trip requests and lost the sales. That was the last straw for me so I started exploring email management tools. I tried 3 tools prior to trying SaneBox and none of them worked like I needed them to. When I tried SaneBox, I knew that I was going to subscribe after my trial ended. My life was instantly changed. It did take about a week to get use to being organized and I also went through their Zero Academy and I was hooked. Your life will be forever changed by SaneBox. Subscribe now you will not regret it!!!

Pros

I love everything about SaneBox. It is super easy to use and their Zero Academy is awesome. It focuses on 10 easy tips for you to maximize your use. Everyone should initiate this email management solution even in your personal life!! I spent approximately 2 hours on getting my account exactly where I wanted it when I started my trial and that included reading up on all the features so not a lot of time at all when you consider I spend hours daily scrolling through my emails. I don't have to worry about client trip requests getting lost within the mix of the hundreds of newsletter & supplier emails I receive daily.

Cons

There isn't anything I don't like, but I do have a wish and that is that I could create more than six trainable sane folders. In my industry I need a few more categories than six. I make it work absolutely, but if we are wishing for things, I would wish for some more.

### "Straightforward and saves me time each day"

November 3, 2021

5.0

An excellent product that helps me avoid distractions while working or studying. Outstanding customer support.

Pros

Over the years I have used most every major spam filter. This one is head and shoulders the best. It quickly allows you to categorize items from multiple mailboxes, and keeps your inbox clear for genuinely important messages. When you have time, you can look over everything else. Very customizable. Customer support at Sanebox is rapid and friendly.

Cons

Nothing. I am hoping that in the future, digests from multiple email accounts can be consolidated into one.

### "Not Sanebox"

January 27, 2017

1.0

Probably a good filing system for emails your receive. My experience was terrible. Sure, it sorts the emails you want to keep...however...they advertise a SaneboxBlackhole....that does not work to delete unwanted messages at all... It is just falsely advertised...straight-up, doesn't work... So... I canceled... That really started the problem... The Sanebox folders will not leave my Outlook at all... No matter what I do the folders reappear time and time again... The support sends directions on how to uninstall...those don't work... Support does not go beyond the 'articles' on how to deal with problems... When the user files a complaint...the support people just quit writing.... A note to the owner of the company, Stuart Roseman, a respected guy in the field... goes unanswered... Requests to look at the problem on a screenshare were refused... Requests to even look at my screen went unanswered. Maybe a bazillion people love this product....but it doesn't work on our screens at all.... I would never put this software on my computer again...ever... Of course, I've only been working on computers since 1990, so I probably don't know enough about how they work yet...according to Sanebox support... oh, sorry, better go back to school! The phone number listed with ICANN does not work. The email contacts for the company are also non-working. InSaneBox...

Pros

It appears that it would be a great way to handle our overload of emails.... 300+ daily.... NOT

Cons

Impossible to uninstall. Support is nearly non-existent. No contact information outside of a nearly automated "I'm sorry.... " email reply that pays no attention whatsoever to the comments made by the customer....

### "Wish I had started using Sanebox years ago. Saves me oodles of time. "

June 15, 2017

5.0

Pros

Cuts to the chase, and allows me to prioritize mail, smoothing out my workday. I really don't know how I handled email before signing up for SaneBox.

Cons

The role of "SaneBlackHole" is a bit confusing...It is apparently for junk mail, but not for real junk mail....I wish I could just send all crap there and have it forever disappear.

Response from SaneBox

June 15, 2017

Hi there, Russell! We are so glad to hear that you are loving SaneBox, but are sorry to hear about your feelings of SaneBlackHole. Unfortunately, SaneBlackHole is meant for real people and businesses not Spam. Spammers go out of their way to make it difficult to train their emails by consistently changing the headers of their emails so it looks like it is coming from somewhere else even though it is the same email. The only way that we would be able to properly catch those spam emails is if we accessed the body of your emails and SaneBox will never do that. We usually recommend that users contact their email providers and see about having them increase their Spam filtering if you are still getting an overabundance of Spam in your Inbox instead of your Spam folder. You can also try another 3rd party Spam filtering service. If you have any questions please reach out to us anytime. Thank you for your wonderful review! We appreciate all feedback :)

### "First time we've paid for email management-worth it"

January 17, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like the overall management system, the sorting AI is quite good. Also, when I've had a problem I've been able to get a customer service chat--a real live person it seemed to me -immediately. This makes a big difference, I know if I can't find an email they'll help me look.

Cons

Sanebox is not cheap, considering if I were patient and diligent, I could probably set up the same systems with Gmail folders. But I know I'm not patient and diligent. So I use sanebox and it does keep me slightly more sane.

### "SaneBox"

December 17, 2018

4.0

A good and reliable product with excellent customer service

Pros

Simply the fact that most of the non-urgent mail is diverted for later.

Cons

Probably not the software's fault, probably mine for not monitoring sufficiently closely, but so much seems still to get to SaneLater rather than the Black Box

Sane Box has been life-changing! I was drowning in span and unsolicited e-mail.

Pros

My in-box consists of ONLY work-related e-mails. It has saved me hours of work each day.

Cons

When opening e-mail from sanebox, after the first review of e-mail, it takes me out of e-mail and onto the cloud/internet to complete e-mail review. it would be nice to just check everything in e-mail, hit a button and be done.

### "Superb Customer Service in addition to a First Class Product"

November 3, 2021

5.0

The purpose of this Review is to compliment Ame of Sanebox Customer Service. I switched my Email provider to Apple iCloud. Simply put, there is an Apple formula to bring iCloud into the Sanebox brain. It took a bit of doing, principally because of an internal process involved for Apple Security. But thanks to Ame' s persistence it all worked out fine. GREAT JOB!

Pros

You design your Sanebox Email distribution by making your Emails go to the right place all day: Important, Later or a Black Hole etc. It is easy and efficient and very cost effective.

Cons

Nothing to dislike about the Sanebox product.
