SaneConnect: This feature is in beta and it looks promising. I’m going to explore this further on some Thursday in the future (my Daily Theme for Thursday is Training).ģ.
CLEAN EMAIL VS SANEBOX MAC
SaneAttachments: I’m sure I could leverage this feature as I use a native mail client on my Mac and those attachments take up space.
But this is not something I’ve felt the need to do (yet).Ģ. SaneReminders: I suppose I could use this in conjunction with or even as a replacement for it (if I altered my workflow). Even though my plan allows it, I don’t use the following features:ġ. Sanebox is very powerful and I have only tapped into part of what it can do. Then be sure to manage this well so that if you drop a folder it won’t cause undue chaos in your email app when it is disabled.) The Other Features (None of Which I Use) (You can test drive additional folders for 14 days, so I encourage you to do so if you’re putting Sanebox through the paces for the first time. But I don’t like it more than or so it got the boot when I condensed my filtered folders to fit my plan. I like this tool because it segments my messages in a way that allows me to train my email better. It “rescued” important messages from my spam folder, acting as the polar opposite of the tool. I used to use this tool because it kept non-spam from being marked as spam. Then they are banished from my email inbox for good – even ones that are sent my way from that point onward. Instead, I just drag unwanted messages to this folder. I don’t even need to unsubscribe from unwanted emails now (although my email apps let me do that quickly and easily). I love this feature because it allows me to trash emails that I used to mark as spam. I tend to look at it when I’m expecting a reply from a Productivityist Coaching client more than anything else. I use two of the three of Sanebox’s Power Tools because they allow me to (as the Dashboard says) “breeze through my inbox.”ġ. (I could see how could be useful for some people, though.) The Power Tools When I do snooze an email, I’ll use my email app for that. I’m not a huge believer in snoozing emails. I don’t use Sanebox’s Snooze Folders at all. My receipts and reference emails (which is what is meant for) can land in as far as I’m concerned. I can see their value for some email users, but I’m not hung up on seeing anything I’m copied on being segmented out. There’s also the aforementioned and but I found they didn’t really serve a purpose for me that was worth paying for. I highly recommend you activate this folder (even if you are using a service like as well). This took some training to make this happen since they were all going to since I began using Sanebox, but it’s spot on now. I wanted a filtered folder for all of my newsletters so that I could train them to go there. If you do anything that was flagged with it will wind up back in your inbox. One thing to keep in mind with this folder: don’t disable it. Older emails (past your 5,000th) automatically get placed there. I actually rarely send anything here manually. Then you don’t have to retrain later when you decide to eliminate folders that are not part of your subscription plan or that no longer serve you.)Ģ.
That’s why it’s important that you get clear about what folders – and how many – you want to use when you first sign up. (Sanebox keeps tabs on the email senders you train so that they don’t wind up in the folders you don’t want them to. From there, I deal with email the 3Mail way. Essentially, I go through this folder and move whatever needs to be “trained” into the inbox first. I check it once per day and then apply my 3mail process to whatever is in there. A lot of my email gets filtered into this folder. Sanebox offers plenty of folders that you can use to filter your email, but I only use the default ones that you get with all Sanebox subscriptions and the one custom folder that I’m allowed with my plan. Rather than dive in and offer a complete review – because I can’t – I’m going to give you a sense of how I use Sanebox as part of my email management workflow. But the account I use it with (my Productivityist one) would be harder to contain and control without Sanebox working its magic. I only have the Snack level of the product, meaning I only use it with one account. While I’m quite good at processing email (using a process I call 3Mail – one of the plays in The Productivityist Playbook), I’d be remiss if I didn’t use certain tools to help me along the way. I receive upwards of 100 emails per day across my various email accounts. But it might just be the biggest killer of time and productivity in the office today.” – Ryan Holmes, CEO of Hootsuite
