Use Fastmail and SaneBox together for more control over your email, data, and work day.
Customers choose Fastmail as their email provider, in large part because the product offers features dedicated to protecting user privacy and enabling increased productivity. For similar reasons, many savvy email users gravitate to SaneBox, the inbox management tool. Interestingly, both products effectively address privacy and productivity challenges but do so in different and complementary ways.
Let’s look at how email users can benefit from using Fastmail and SaneBox together.
What Does SaneBox Do?
How many emails flood your inbox each day? Realistically, how many deserve the attention you give them? How long would it take to wade through all of them to distinguish the important from the less important?
SaneBox lets you be more effective at your job by restoring sanity to your inbox. It uses smart (artificial intelligence-driven) filtering to prioritize inbound emails the way you would — it learns your preferences — and sorts them into easy-to-use folders, with the highest priority emails landing in your inbox. Then it summarizes them and serves them up in a daily digest. Pretty neat. Very powerful.
Here’s what happens behind the scenes: SaneBox looks at various factors to determine each email’s importance. Here are just a few factors SaneBox considers: which emails you open and how quickly you open them, which emails you respond to and how quickly you respond.
In short, SaneBox takes lower-priority, productivity-killing emails out of your inbox, so you can focus on the important ones it presents to you. Imagine how quickly you’d achieve total email mastery by letting Fastmail and SaneBox each work their highly specialized magic at the same time.
Customer Privacy, Not Advertiser Dollars
Fastmail is proud to say that advertisers are not part of its business model. This means that Fastmail doesn’t exploit the valuable consumer data in your emails. Your data is never shared with advertisers, and you are never targeted with ads. Customers know that using Fastmail instead of Gmail, for example, protects their personal information from being commodified, monetized, and otherwise exploited by big tech.
Fastmail believes that customers own their data. This belief informs every product feature Fastmail releases. Privacy considerations are evident in features like email aliases and Masked Email — Fastmail features that protect you from tracking, data leaks, and spammers. Users can employ email aliases and custom addresses. Customized email sender names and signatures offer customers another layer of privacy control.
Like Fastmail, SaneBox will never sell your data or show you ads. Remember, SaneBox empowers you to manage your email easily; it isn’t an email provider. Instead, it works seamlessly with your current email — Fastmail and SaneBox make a dynamic duo — to filter inbound messages.
Because SaneBox isn’t an email provider, it offers the advantage of not sending or receiving emails. SaneBox customers’ emails never leave their servers: SaneBox never takes possession of them and information security is a top priority. SaneBox’s AI analyzes email headers only to determine how to prioritize emails for you. That’s it. It works without ever reading the body of any email. With SaneBox, your data is completely private — and that includes your email credentials.
Use Fastmail and SaneBox concurrently to shield your precious data from all eyes except your own.
Let Your Tools Work Hard So You Can Work Smarter
While user privacy is the bedrock of successful tech products, communication and productivity tools are useless if they don’t facilitate communicating and being productive. Fortunately, Fastmail and SaneBox are dedicated to getting obstacles out of your way.
Modern work life isn’t as predictable as it once was. Some workers log in from home, others report to the office, and still, others practice a hybrid of the two. Flexibility is required from workers, and workers require it from their tools. Every email user understands the need to access their email wherever they are across all devices. Fastmail users enjoy access via web browsers, mobile devices, and desktop apps. Likewise, SaneBox works with any email client, service, or device.
And the need for flexibility from tools prompts the desire for customization. Fastmail encourages you to prioritize the people you care about most. When you designate VIP contacts or contact groups, you’ll receive alerts when they email you. Great minds think alike. SaneBox soars once it has learned — and continues to learn — from your inbox behavior which emails you prioritize. SaneBox’s filters will keep those very important emails front-and-center in your inbox — or collect them in custom folders you name yourself if you prefer. Just another example of SaneBox’s flexibility allowing you to work the way that works for you.
Fastmail’s VIPs and SaneBox’s filtering smarts working in tandem won’t let you overlook emails from your most important senders. If you’ve ever missed a really important email, you understand this benefit.

About SaneBox
In 2010, a small group of geeks was wondering what to work on next. They read some blog posts and were immediately transformed with purpose. Back in 2010, email overload wasn’t nearly as bad as it is today. Since then, SaneBox’s purpose has only become clearer and the mission grander. SaneBox is a simple service that analyzes your past behavior and determines the importance of incoming emails without looking at the content.
