Unsurprisingly, Sanebox performs the exact task described in its name: it restores some sanity to the clutter of your inbox. Once installed, the program automatically filters newsletters and other lower-priority email messages into a “Read Later†folder, ensuring that only priority communications reach your inbox.
Currently, the program runs for $55/year (with monthly and two-year subscriptions available as well), though you can take advantage of a 50 percent discount by allowing the company to post a few messages to your Facebook Facebook account. However, even if you aren’t comfortable with this, the roughly $5/month you’ll spend to install Sanebox is more than worth the time saved sifting through unimportant email messages.
(**Pro tip: If you run the Chrome browser, use the Baydin Email Game plugin to clean out your inbox before installing Sanebox. Using the two tools together doesn’t just make “Inbox Zero†a possibility, it makes it fun to reach as well!)
