MailSweeper

MailSweeper is a Gmail inbox cleaner that finds mailing lists and storage hogs, unsubscribes in one click, bulk-deletes old promotions and big attachments, and can run scheduled sweeps. It offers annual, lifetime and family pricing.

MailSweeper is a Gmail-only cleanup service aimed at people whose inboxes have accumulated years of newsletters, promotions and heavy attachments. It connects through Google login, scans the account for mailing lists and storage-hungry mail, and then lets the user clear that material in bulk instead of searching, selecting and deleting by hand. The workflow is built around four ideas. A quick clean runs right after connecting and removes old promotions, social updates and large attachments, reporting how much space was recovered. A mailing-list view shows every subscription with its sending frequency and offers one-click unsubscribe, which tackles the source of the clutter rather than only the backlog. Smart labels route incoming junk into a folder-like label called the Dustpan, so the primary inbox shows only mail that matters and the user can review the Dustpan before anything is removed. Finally, optional automatic sweeps move Dustpan mail older than a set age to the trash on a schedule, with the user choosing what is swept and how often. Safety rules are stated plainly: starred emails, mail marked important and anything in the primary inbox are not deleted by default, and only the categories the user selects are swept. The company says emails are not stored, sold or read by humans, and that the application is CASA certified. A dashboard tracks emails cleaned, space saved, unsubscribes and an estimated carbon figure, and the site publishes aggregate impact numbers. Pricing is unusual for this category: besides a yearly subscription there is a limited-quantity lifetime payment and a family plan covering up to five inboxes. MailSweeper suits users who pay Google for extra storage or are tired of recurring manual purges. Compared with broader inbox managers or general email clients, it is narrow by design: it supports Gmail only, with other providers described as a possibility, and it focuses on cleanup and prevention rather than composing, triage or analytics.
