In their own words
Cleanfox
Cleanfox is a free service for removing unwanted email and unsubscribing from newsletters. It identifies recurring senders and lets users decide what to keep before cleaning. For a newsletter, users can remove all its messages, delete received emails while staying subscribed, or keep it. Mail support includes Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, iCloud Mail, and most other providers. Card and list views help sort newsletters, with bulk actions in list view; users can add multiple mailboxes and sort them together. Automatic cleanup rules are available. An initial mailbox scan takes an average of 30 minutes to 3 hours. Deleted messages move to the mailbox trash and remain recoverable until the email provider empties it, typically after 5 to 30 days. Cleanfox says it uses end-to-end encryption, does not read or sell emails, and anonymizes newsletter and commercial-transaction data for market statistics. It says users are not targeted by advertising. Attachment downloading and deletion is marked “Soon.” Cleanfox is available on Android, iOS, and the web.
MailMop
MailMop is a Gmail inbox-cleaning tool for identifying clutter and managing messages in bulk. It groups clutter by sender and shows message counts, then provides actions such as deleting, blocking senders, unsubscribing, marking messages read, applying labels, and creating filters. Gmail headers are analyzed through the Gmail API; when message content is needed to locate unsubscribe links, processing occurs in the browser rather than on MailMop servers. The service says it handles inboxes up to 500,000 emails, while its FAQ states there is no processing limit. MailMop works with one inbox at a time, but one Pro subscription covers all of a user’s inboxes. Basic is free and includes unlimited analysis, sender statistics, unsubscribe, export, and Gmail links. Pro costs $1.89 a year, billed annually at $22.68/year, adding one-click bulk actions, bulk delete, advanced filtering and labels, and sender blocking. It is available on the web or can be self-hosted for free.
