Thank you to SaneBox for sponsoring iPhone J.D. this month. In the past, I've written extensively about how SaneBox works. Today, however, I want to cut to the chase. Wouldn't it be great if you could automatically filter out the less important and annoying emails so that when you want to check your email, all that was left was just the good stuff? That's what you get when you take your existing email service and follow the simple instructions to turn on SaneBox for your account.
SaneBox lets you avoid the distraction of dozens of non-essential emails in your Inbox. Instead, your Inbox just contains the few messages that really matter, the ones that you want to know about and/or need to act upon. When you have more time, you can click the sub-folder in your Inbox into which SaneBox stores items like email newsletters—things that you want to see at some point, but there is no urgency to read them right away. Or you can click the sub-folder in your Inbox into which SaneBox filters items to be read later—for me, these items are mostly junk messages that were not caught by my email's built-in spam filter. For unwanted items, you can drag them over into your SaneBlackHole folder, which is a way for you to teach SaneBox's brain that you never want to see items from that sender ever again.
SaneBox can even provide you a report to estimate how much time you are saving. (This post explains the math.) My latest report says that I saved 50 minutes last week by using SaneBox. That's awesome!
SaneBox offers much more than what I've just described. For example, it can remind you when you haven't received a response to an email, and it can filter emails in countless other ways. But those core features make the process of reading your email so much faster and so much less annoying.
I've been paying for and using SaneBox with my iPhone J.D. emails since last year and it has been a tremendous improvement. Why not see if it makes sense for you. Click here to get a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. If you don't like having a clean and tidy Inbox and want to go back to how you had it before, no sweat. But if you appreciate having a better way of working with email, using the link in this post will give you a generous $25 credit for when you pick a plan—and there are lots of different plans offered so that you can pick the one that gives you just what you want.
Thanks again to SaneBox for giving me and you a more efficient way to work with email and for sponsoring iPhone J.D. this month.
