ClearInbox
What it is
ClearInbox is a web email-management app that cleans and organizes connected mailboxes. Smart folders sort messages into newsletters, social, shopping, finance, travel, old mail, and large mail, then suggest archiving or deletion. Users can unsubscribe from detected mailing lists individually or in bulk when RFC 8058 one-click support is available. Auto Clean rules can move, archive, delete, star, or mute messages on schedules or when newly synced 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 accounts. Supported providers include Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Yahoo Mail, iCloud Mail, AOL, Fastmail, Exchange, and standard IMAP services. ClearInbox offers a free account for one connected mailbox and can be self-hosted with Docker. The maker says headers and metadata are used for cleaning, full message bodies are not stored, and mailbox connections and credentials are encrypted.
