Clean Email

Clean Email is an inbox cleanup service that connects to the mailbox you already have and helps you act on thousands of messages at once. Rather than guessing which mail matters, it groups your messages so you can decide in bulk: Smart Folders gather categories such as social networks, ride sharing, food delivery and online shopping, Cleaning Suggestions point at the kinds of mail people usually delete or archive, and you can sort by date, size, sender or recipient before deleting, archiving, labeling or moving everything in one go.

The ongoing part comes from rules you approve. The Unsubscriber lists all of your subscriptions in one view so you can unsubscribe, pause or filter them in bulk, and Clean Email says that if a list ignores an unsubscribe request, its messages are moved to the trash automatically. Read Later moves newsletters into their own folder with an optional summary. Screener holds mail from first time senders for review. Block, Mute, Deliver to, Keep Newest and a rule that trashes mail after a set age keep things tidy, and Auto Clean lets you build more detailed rules. Every automatic action is logged.

Clean Email works with Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, Outlook and Office 365, AOL, Zoho, Fastmail, GMX Mail and other IMAP accounts, with apps for the web, iPhone and iPad, Android and Mac. It says it processes only email headers to identify subscriptions and does not sell data.

Pricing, as listed on October 31, 2026: a free account cleans up to 1,000 emails but leaves out the Screener, sender settings and Auto Clean. A 14 day trial of all features needs no card. Paid plans start at $9.99 a month for one account according to its App Store listing, with cheaper yearly billing and 5 and 10 account plans that include every feature.

Who it suits: people with a large backlog or too many newsletters. For filtering new mail by importance without writing rules, compare it with SaneBox in our SaneBox vs Clean Email guide.
