SaneBox: AI Email Cleaner

I didn’t decide to stick with SaneBox. Thank goodness I only tried 1 email address. I took the time to go to their website and CLOSE my account. In addition I unsubscribed to their emails. However every time I open my email I am still missing emails that have been redirected. I have deleted their folders, restarted my phone. Deleted my email from my phone completely and restarted it. Deleting the folders I have done countless times. And STILL I log in to more emails from them, the folders are there still, and they’re still filtering emails. Worst mistake ever!!!

Sane Box has saved me so much time, I used to get so much unwanted mail and would spend countless hours just trying to go through them all. This has been the best time saver and has helped me so much. I have recommended this to family and friends.

I am someone that wants to clean up my massive email, but I’ve avoided automated tools (and literally had assistants) to do this because of the fear of it making mistakes. I was hoping this was using actual ai to make decisions. I suspect it is not. No default (actual ai) filter would take shipping notifications from legit orders I’ve placed this week and actual invitations to events happening next week and lump them in with unimportant advertising emails. Also, it’s very odd to know that a robot is making decisions about my emails but I have no initial visibility as to where they will end up, how many it’s moved, or what it’s algorithm is designed for during initial setup. In addition the digest is provided once per day and I was shown a “wait 3 hours” message - just felt very obscured. This type of cleanup app is not for me. Maybe it is for you, but I think you’ll get a similar experience just searching for the word unsubscribe and auto-putting into a separate folder. This did not seem to have any self awareness beyond that. Also maybe it has these things, but on the first day that I’m letting a robot have full access to my inbox, I expect a more transparent experience. How about asking if I’d like to see a demo of what it’s going to do before the first time it does it?

I read the book by back your time. This app does buy back your time. It’s great!

This app sounds really great maybe awesome in its web version. But going back and forth between the app and the built in browser is not a great experience. I will give the web version a try.

I have only had the app one day so I’m still in the free trial period. I’m concerned because I can’t find how much it’s going to cost. Every time I click on “see plans” it takes me somewhere with no mention of plans or cost. That information should be upfront. I’m going to delete the app if I don’t find out the price today.

Deleted this after I accidentally installed it. Now I can’t get rid of the folders in my Gmail.

I really like the ease of being able to drag a message to a folder/mailbox and have a rule automatically created to handle that sender's messages. However, I'm constantly fighting with it because so many sites send verification emails - emails that I want to see immediately in my inbox. What ends up happening is Sanebox moves them before I can open and click on a verification link. This isn't Sanebox's fault - the tool is working exactly as it should and it works very well. But I have not found a solution that can leave some emails where they are or at least leave them for 5 minutes so I don't have to hunt through different mailboxes to find the message.

The free app is great, but don't stop there! SaneBox makes email soooo much more efficient. I especially love the feature that reminds me when to follow up with someone I haven't heard back from. My emails are always neatly organized, too.

Love SaneBox as a product. Saves me a ton of time on email. The reminders feature is a game changer.
