AI filter that keeps only important mail in view.

Tool information
SaneBox is an email filtering service that sits on top of existing inboxes and automatically sorts incoming mail into folders for later reading, news, and receipts, surfacing only messages that appear to need attention.
It suits professionals drowning in newsletters, CCs, and notifications who want to keep their current provider, fitting a train-and-forget workflow where folders are checked on a rhythm and the filter learns from moves.
The tradeoff is that training takes a few weeks and aggressive filtering can hide something wanted, so people with tiny inboxes or those wanting a brand-new mail app rather than a filter layer should skip it.
