mailsweep

Clear thousands of emails out of Gmail in minutes.

mailsweep is a web app that clears a crowded Gmail inbox. A typical inbox holds thousands of messages from only a few dozen senders, so mailsweep groups them — by sender, subject, mailing list, date received, or size — and lets you archive, delete or unsubscribe from a whole group in one action, instead of one message at a time.

What you can do with it

• Archive, move, or trash hundreds of messages in a single action
• Unsubscribe from mailing lists and block senders
• Chill a batch: move it out of the inbox and have it return on a date you pick
• Set rules that expire old mail from a sender automatically
• Undo a bulk action you did not mean to run

How it uses your Google account

mailsweep reads message headers — sender, subject, date, size and labels — to group your inbox, and changes labels to carry out the actions you choose. It does not read or store the body of your emails or any attachments, and it never sends mail on your behalf. You can disconnect it at any time, and deleting your account removes your data and revokes its access to Google.
