In their own words
GoodByEmail
GoodByEmail analyzes an exported inbox to show which senders use storage and help users decide what to clean up. Users import an MBOX or Outlook PST file, then filter or sort senders by storage, email count or last received date. The app can identify mailing-list senders and supports one-click unsubscribing. It does not scan or delete messages automatically: users export their inbox and remove selected emails in their email client. The maker says mailbox processing happens locally, without uploading or storing email content, metadata or mailbox statistics on its servers. Scanning can work offline after an online login unlocks the app. The free version shows unordered results for everyone who has emailed the user; actionable cleanup insights require a license. Paid options include Lite at $9.99 a month, Plus at $14.99 a month and Pro at $19.99 a month. A Perpetual license costs $199 as a one-time purchase. The platform list includes macOS, Windows and self-hosted.
