The result is a CRM where the entire outbound workflow - call, log, send follow-up email, schedule next call, move pipeline stage - happens without switching applications.

The Meeting Notetaker transcribes and summarizes every Zoom, Teams, and Meet call on all plans.

There is nothing to install on your device. After connecting your account, SaneBox creates smart folders in your existing inbox and begins routing low-priority emails - newsletters, notifications, CC messages, and automated sends - out of your main inbox within minutes.

The entire process takes under five minutes. No browser extension, no desktop app, and no email client plugin is required - SaneBox operates entirely at the server level through your email provider's IMAP interface.

The first filtering run applies to your existing inbox backlog as well as new arrivals, giving an immediate sense of what the AI considers low priority.","The onboarding flow includes a brief tutorial explaining how to train the AI: moving an email back to your inbox from SaneLater teaches SaneBox to treat that sender as high priority; dragging a sender into SaneBlackHole blocks them permanently.

There is no new interface to learn, no separate app to check, and no workflow changes required from the tools you already use. The SaneBlackHole folder is the feature users mention most enthusiastically in reviews - drag any sender there and SaneBox unsubscribes and blocks them across all future emails, instantly. For inboxes accumulated over years without disciplined unsubscribing, a single SaneBlackHole session of 15 minutes removes hundreds of recurring senders permanently.","The daily digest email, which arrives each morning with a summary of everything in SaneLater from the previous day, is the critical habit that makes SaneBox work. Users who open the digest and scan for anything that should have landed in the inbox train the AI faster and maintain confidence that nothing important is being missed. The one-to-two week learning period is the main friction point: during calibration, SaneBox occasionally misfiles a legitimate email from a new sender or an unusual contact. Consistent training - dragging misplaced emails back to the inbox - resolves this within the first two weeks and rarely recurs after the AI has processed sufficient volume from your account.","Check the SaneLater digest every morning for the first two weeks and move anything important back to your inbox immediately - each correction takes three seconds and teaches SaneBox to prioritise that sender going forward.

SaneLater handles general low-priority filtering. SaneBlackHole blocks senders permanently. SaneNoReplies tracks your outbound emails that have not received a response and resurfaces them in a dedicated folder after a configurable period. SaneReminders snoozes an email until a specified date and time, reappearing at the top of your inbox when the moment arrives. SaneNews routes newsletters to a separate folder for batch reading. Do Not Disturb pauses email delivery during defined focus windows. SaneAttachments automatically saves email attachments to connected cloud storage (Dropbox or Google Drive). Together, these tools eliminate the four main categories of inbox noise: automated sends, chronic senders, newsletters, and forgotten follow-ups.","What SaneBox does not do is equally important to understand before subscribing. It does not replace your email client, provide team-shared inboxes, enable email delegation, or offer read receipts and analytics beyond personal stats. SaneStats, the built-in reporting feature, shows volume trends and filtering summaries for self-awareness but does not produce the kind of reporting a customer support or sales team needs.

Live chat connects to a real human agent during business hours - not a bot, not a help article search. Response times are fast: most users report connecting to an agent within minutes. Support quality is high across billing, technical, filtering accuracy, and account configuration questions. The praise for support quality in reviews is specific and repeated - users describing support as 'the best I've seen on any SaaS tool' appear across review platforms spanning multiple years, suggesting this is a sustained operational standard rather than an isolated positive experience.","The Help Centre covers setup, feature configuration, email provider-specific guides, troubleshooting, and billing clearly. Most configuration questions are answerable through documentation without needing to contact support. The combination of thorough self-service documentation and fast live chat access means users are rarely blocked on setup or configuration issues.

Lunch at $7.04\u002Fmonth biyearly is the practical tier for most professionals: two email accounts and six features cover the primary use cases (SaneLater, SaneBlackHole, SaneNoReplies, SaneReminders, and SaneNews) that make the meaningful difference to inbox quality.

For most individual users, Lunch covers the feature set that generates the majority of value. The absence of a free plan is the most common pricing complaint in reviews - the entry price is genuinely affordable, but requiring payment after a trial that resets expectations creates friction that a permanently free limited tier (like many competing tools offer) would avoid.

All filtering happens by moving emails between folders in your existing IMAP account - the folders are standard IMAP folders that remain in your email account after cancellation. When you cancel a SaneBox subscription, the smart folders persist and your email stays exactly where it was; SaneBox simply stops moving new arrivals. There is no data export process because no data is held outside your email account.","The one portability consideration is folder cleanup: after cancellation, the SaneLater, SaneBlackHole, and other SaneBox-created folders remain in your inbox and require manual deletion or management. This is a minor administrative task rather than a lock-in risk - the emails in those folders are your emails in your account, and no SaneBox-specific format or encoding makes them less accessible. The AI filtering rules do not transfer to other tools if you switch to a competing email management product, meaning the trained filtering model is product-specific.
