Hey!
Some time ago I was overwhelmed with unread emails in my Gmail inbox. Mostly, they were newsletters, which I had no time to read. They piled up and I started to lose important emails in between them. At the time, there were more than 7000 unread emails (https://mailchaco.com/assets/images/image01.jpg?v57177303386151). I tried to clean it up manually but it was very boring and time-consuming.
I solved the problem with existing inbox cleaner in form of SaaS with a subscription plan (100$ per year for 5 mail accounts, cheapest service is about 60$ per year for 3 accounts). This was very strange for me because there was no need to have it on a server. I thought it is good opportunity to write the competing desktop app for inbox cleaning with one-time-payment differentiation.
I built the small prototype. It's very basic and just group emails by a sender with corresponding statistic and ability to move to trash whole group:
So, some questions:
Thanks for your feedback!
Interesting idea. Right now I just use Thunderbird and sort by sender then delete that way. Still, it's a pain.
I used Unroll me in the past. I think that was the service that was selling data to Uber. Once I found out I stopped using them.
