Clean up your Gmail inbox

Email Cleanup groups the newsletters, promotions and other bulk mail in your Gmail by sender, so you can archive or unsubscribe a whole group at once.

Beginner2 minutes

Email Cleanup sorts the senders in your Gmail inbox into groups, like promotions, newsletters and receipts, and suggests what to do with each. One click archives a whole group, and nothing happens until you confirm.

It needs Gmail connected and Gmail Integration turned on.

Clean up a group of senders#

  1. In the sidebar, open Communication, then Email Cleanup. Or click Clean up inbox at the top of your Gmail list.

  2. Wait while it scans your most recent emails and sorts the senders into groups.

  3. Open a group to see its senders, or click Clean up on the group.

  4. Read the confirmation and confirm. The emails are archived, and a message offers to undo it.

A group marked Recommended: keep is left alone unless you pick it. Senders whose emails you starred or replied to are always kept.

Choose what happens to one sender#

Open a group and pick an action for a sender:

  • Archive only or Archive all: moves their emails out of your inbox. You can undo this.

  • Unsubscribe + archive: asks the sender to stop, using their own unsubscribe link or an unsubscribe email sent from your Gmail, then archives. The unsubscribe cannot be undone; the archiving can.

  • Never again: creates a Gmail filter so all future mail from that sender skips your inbox, and archives what is there now.

Each one asks you first. When you are done, Scan again looks at the next batch.

Ask in your own words#

Type a request in the box at the bottom, for example "unsubscribe from all promos, keep anything from my bank". The cleanup assistant proposes a set of actions; click Approve to do them or Dismiss to drop them. It never acts without that click.
