Read full description

Mailbox Cleaner helps you bulk-organize an IMAP mailbox with folder and filter conditions. Pick folders in a tree, narrow messages by date, sender, subject, and more, then review matched count and size before moving, trashing, or permanently deleting. A final confirmation with the exact count helps prevent mistakes. Your email credentials are used only for IMAP on your device and are not sent to our servers. No account signup or ads. You can complete processing twice for free; a one-time in-app purchase unlocks unlimited use afterward.
