Important Note:

  • Click Go Back when finished to avoid unintended changes.


Exchange Email Users:

These steps don’t apply to Exchange email. Log in to your webmail (OWA) and copy the URL from the address bar after logging in. Use that URL as your email server address during SaneBox signup.


SaneBox Compatibility:

SaneBox works seamlessly with Outlook 2016/2019 (Windows) and other email clients. It’s compatible with all email providers that support IMAP (excluding rare POP-only providers). No software installation is needed – SaneBox interacts directly with your email host’s server. Your emails and folders remain secure on your provider’s servers.


SaneBox: Your Email Oasis

SaneBox filters out distractions, letting you focus on important emails. It “talks” to your host’s server, placing unimportant emails in a SaneLater folder for later review. This helps you manage your inbox efficiently!
