πŸ—‚οΈ Take Control with Custom Sane Folders

Tired of certain emails cluttering your inbox? Now you can take email organization into your own hands with custom Sane folders β€” a smart, flexible way to filter and train your inbox just the way you like it.

Create your own folders for categories like:

  • πŸ“š @SaneEducation

  • πŸŽ₯ @SaneZoom

  • πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» @SaneCodeCademy

Let SaneBox handle the sorting while you stay focused on what matters most.

✨ How to Create Your Own Folder

  2. Click Create Folder
  3. Choose a unique name (avoid reserved names like @SaneLater)
  4. Click Continue

That’s it! Your folder will appear in your email client within minutes

πŸ“₯ Train Your Folder Like a Pro

Want SaneBox to keep sorting certain messages into your new folder?
