@SaneDoNotDisturb: What Do I Do With That Folder?

Silence the Noise, Focus on What Matters


SaneDoNotDisturb lets you create a peaceful email haven. When activated, new emails are diverted from your Inbox to a special SaneDoNotDisturb folder, giving you a clean slate to focus on what’s truly important.



Here’s How It Works:
  • Schedule Your Break: Log in to SaneBox and activate the “Do Not Disturb” feature.
    • Choose from various options:
      • One-time: Perfect for vacations or specific events.
      • Daily: Set DoNotDisturb for recurring weekdays or weekends.
      • Custom: Define specific start and end times for any day of the week.


VIP Access (Optional)

Have someone who absolutely needs to get through? Designate a secret keyword they can include in their email subject line. Emails with that keyword will land directly in your Inbox, bypassing DoNotDisturb.


Out-of-Office Auto-Reply (Optional)

Let senders know you’re away and when they can expect a response. SaneBox will send an automatic message on your behalf.


See Your Do Not Disturb Status:
  • A SaneDoNotDisturb folder appears in your email account.
  • Your SaneBox Dashboard reflects the activated status, including any VIP keywords.
  • The Inbox icon on your Dashboard changes when Do Not Disturb is on.
  • You’ll receive an email notification when Do Not Disturb starts.


What Happens to Existing Emails?

Only new emails arriving after Do Not Disturb activation are affected. Emails already in your Inbox or other Sane folders remain untouched. They’ll be restored to their original locations when Do Not Disturb ends.


Reminders and Do Not Disturb:

SaneReminders still function, but reminder emails will be placed in the SaneDoNotDisturb folder until the scheduled restoration of important emails to your Inbox.


Multiple Schedules:
  • Overlapping schedules combine into a single activation with one end date.
  • Abutting schedules are treated separately. Emails will be restored based on both end times, and the auto-reply reflects this.
