If you're sick of spam and unwanted marketing emails, SaneBox could be a good option. It uses machine learning to sort incoming messages into folders depending on their importance, and it's got features like BlackHole to block spammers and Snooze to defer unimportant messages. SaneBox works with multiple email services, including Gmail, Microsoft 365 and Apple iCloud, and it's got security credentials with annual Google Restricted Scopes verification and regular testing.
Another alternative is hi.new. This system works by using a contact form system that lets people replace their email address with a xxx@pre.hi.new
address, which screens out spam and requires approval for legitimate messages to reach your inbox. That means only approved contacts can reach you, a big reduction in unwanted messages.
If you prefer an open-source option, Inbox Zero is a personal AI assistant designed to help you get your email under control. It can automate tasks like unsubscribing from newsletters and blocking cold emails, and it's got other tools like automated responses, a cold email blocker and inbox analytics. It integrates with Gmail and Google Workspace email accounts, and there's a self-hosted option if you want to keep your data private.
