Why Emails Keep Appearing After Using SaneBlackHole
Here’s why emails you trained to go to SaneBlackHole might still be showing up in your inbox:
Similar Names, Different Addresses:
- SaneBlackHole targets specific email addresses, not just names.
- If the emails you see have a different address than the one you trained, they’ll slip through.
Solution:
- Double-check the email address before training with SaneBlackHole.
- If the emails keep coming, try training them to SaneLater instead.
SaneLater vs. SaneBlackHole:
- SaneBlackHole sends emails directly to trash.
- SaneLater keeps emails out of your inbox but lets you review them later.
Why SaneBlackHole Might Not Work with Spam:
- Spammers are tricky! They often change email addresses slightly to bypass filters.
- Invisible characters in emails can also confuse filtering systems.
Alternative Solutions for Spam:
- If you’re using “Everything stays until you train it” or “Allow Interruptions from strangers” modes:
- Train emails to SaneLater for easier deletion with your SaneBox Digest.
- Consider creating a SaneBox Domain filter to block emails from specific domains.
