ClearInbox vs Leave Me Alone

ClearInbox is a web email-cleanup app that can also be self-hosted with Docker. It groups messages into smart folders such as newsletters, social, shopping, finance, travel, old mail, and large mail, then suggests archiving or deletion. Mailing lists can be unsubscribed individually or in bulk where RFC 8058 one-click support exists. Auto Clean rules move, archive, delete, star, or mute messages on schedules or when new mail arrives. A sender screener holds first-time senders for approval or rejection, and users can block senders or domains. The web client supports composing, replying, forwarding, searching, labeling, starring, and pinning across multiple connected accounts. Supported providers include Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Yahoo Mail, iCloud Mail, AOL, Fastmail, Exchange, and IMAP services. The maker says cleaning uses headers and metadata, full bodies are not stored, and connections are encrypted.

Leave Me Alone brings subscription emails from connected accounts together and lets users unsubscribe from unwanted mailing lists. It follows unsubscribe links to complete requests, rather than merely filtering messages. Rollups gather selected newsletters into scheduled email digests; Screener holds messages from new senders until approval in a browser or by daily digest; Spam Blocker learns from unwanted inbox messages and blocks similar senders. Supported providers include Google and Microsoft accounts, Fastmail, Yahoo Mail, iCloud, AOL, Mail.com and other IMAP mailboxes. The Android app can show mailing lists, unsubscribe and connect accounts. The homepage offers unsubscribing from 10 emails free without a credit card. The Casual Emailer and Inbox Zero Hero plans are each free; the Seven Day Pass is $19, paid once for seven days. The maker says it stores subscription-email metadata; Rollups fetch, encrypt and store selected email content, while Spam Blocker reads some content for classification and training. Paid plans recheck connected addresses against Have I Been Pwned weekly.
