People who work in news hate email.
We get too much of it. Pitches for stories. Ideas from colleagues. Notes from bosses.
It comes too fast and too often.
The problem is, we still need email. We just need to find better ways to control it and organize it.
Here’s mine:
SaneBox: A Less Insane Inbox.
I’ve been using SaneBox for about a year and a half now, and I love it. SaneBox syncs up with your social media profiles — Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn — to help determine what mail is important, and what isn’t. The good stuff shows up in your inbox.
The rest gets filtered into custom folders. I put all my mailing lists into one folder; all my travel-related email into another. Once you “train” SaneBox on the location of an email, it remembers.
And there’s also a folder — @SaneBlackHole — that will automatically delete future mail from unwanted email addresses.
SaneBox starts at about $2 a month. I’m on the $6 a month plan, and I can’t imagine my inbox without it.
Click here to give it a try — and if you use that link, they’ll give you a few bucks off your first month.
