ClearInbox vs MailMop

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.

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.
