About SaneBox
SaneBox is an AI-powered email filtering service that integrates with any IMAP-compatible email client — Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, or any corporate email system — and automatically organises email by moving low-priority messages to separate folders, enabling APAC professionals to focus on high-priority communications without switching email applications or configuring complex manual filters.
SaneBox's core value proposition for APAC professionals is its compatibility breadth: unlike Superhuman (Gmail/Outlook only) or Shortwave (Gmail only), SaneBox works with any IMAP email system, including corporate email servers, legacy platforms, and APAC enterprise email configurations that are outside the major consumer email providers. For APAC executives in organisations with corporate email infrastructure that does not support third-party email client installation, SaneBox's server-side filtering provides AI email triage without requiring any change to the email client.
SaneBox's AI continuously learns each user's email priority patterns from their triage behaviour — the emails they read immediately, the emails they file without reading, and the emails they ignore entirely — building an increasingly accurate model of what constitutes high-priority email for that specific user. For APAC professionals with distinctive email priority patterns (a CFO who prioritises board communication and ignores vendor solicitation; a CMO who prioritises agency and media email and deprioritises internal operations), SaneBox's personalised model improves significantly over the first 4–8 weeks of use.
SaneBox's @SaneLater, @SaneNews, @SaneBlackHole, and custom folder architecture provide APAC professionals with structured inbox segmentation without manual filter maintenance. @SaneLater receives email that SaneBox identifies as non-urgent; @SaneNews receives newsletters and marketing email; @SaneBlackHole permanently unsubscribes from senders the user chooses to never receive email from again. For APAC executives with large newsletter and marketing email volumes, @SaneBlackHole's permanent unsubscribe removes email volume permanently rather than requiring repeated manual deletion.
SaneBox's integrations — email digest summaries, Slack notifications for priority email, and calendar integration for email-based meeting requests — provide APAC professionals with ambient email awareness without requiring continuous inbox monitoring, enabling periodic inbox processing batches rather than the reactive inbox behaviour that interrupts focused work.
