Introduction
Sponsor - Sanebox
- I had heard about Sanebox from a few people, but I really took it seriously when my friend David Sparks wrote about it in his @Email book.
- I signed up for a trial account and after using it for a week I was hooked. I’m so happy to have them as a new sponsor because I think the service is great.
- We all get a ton of email and prioritizing, organizing it, and managing it can be a hassle. That’s where Sanebox comes in.
- It automatically cleans up your Inbox by moving less important emails out of the way so that you can focus on what you need and then get to the other stuff later.
- It gives you “in-box-less” so you can more easily get to inbox zero
- Best of all, it works everywhere - on any email provider, client or device.
- Tell it about your account and it sets up additional mailboxes to work with your inbox
- It then watches your emails and what you do with them to make a profile of what’s important to you (which emails you open, which you respond to, how quickly, how often, etc).
- It does this without ever looking at the content (only the headers).
- It can then move the less important message out of your inbox to the @Sane boxes like SanBulk, SanNews, or SanLater
- Training is super easy too. If it makes a mistake, just move the message to the appropriate place it SanBox will remember and learn your preferences.
- SaneBox has lots of other features: 1 click unsubscriber, snoozing non-urgent emails, moving attachments to Dropbox etc.
- Try it for free and get a $10 credit: sanebox.com/maccast
