Inbox Imp reads your mail so you don't have to. Gmail and Outlook. An AI assistant sorts every incoming email: advertising gets filed, cold pitches go to their own pile, and the handful of messages that actually need you stay in a short, quiet queue. The app shows you that queue: who wrote, what it's about, and why it's worth your time. Clear each message with one swipe. Every inbox you own, one membership. Connect Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook.com, Hotmail and Microsoft 365 addresses under one account. - Rules you can read: a plain-English page says how your mail is handled, and you can edit it - Safeguards above the AI: login codes, real replies, receipts and money mail, calendar invites and account notices stay in your inbox - Archive, never delete: filed mail stays searchable; only clear junk goes to Trash, recoverable for 30 days - Every action is logged with a reason, one tap to undo, and a Recently archived list to review - "Why you got this" on every message it keeps - Reply, forward and compose with dictation, attachments and AI drafting help - Catch up on a long thread in one line per message - Push roundups instead of a ping for every email; urgent mail still comes through - Ask your mail anything: search that answers questions, not just keywords - Spending: what you paid, by merchant, from your receipts Try Inbox Imp free for 7 days; no payment details needed to start. After the trial, an Inbox Imp membership is $9.99 per month (auto-renewing, cancel anytime in Settings) and covers all of your inboxes.
