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.
