Happy with Clean Email's functionality

My reason for upgrading was really the state of my gmail inbox. I have never done anything to manage it before other than use Google's Important category so I have 1000s of unread emails. I quickly found that to do what I wanted to do I had to upgrade. Further I have 5 e-mail addresses I want to manage in an integrated fashion. So far I am happy with Clean Email's functionality.

Martyn Cooper

Clean Email is excellent

I wanted to upgrade because Clean Email's app is excellent, has amazing reviews, and I have so many emails that seem impossible for me to organize and sort that I got excited to see what can happen with Clean Email. I felt like all my emails are out of control and to have something help me take care of all of it sounds pretty awesome.

Megan Small

Love what you guys are doing!

The ability to clear out a few email accounts that have tens of thousands of emails and take up GB of my disk space once sync'ed with my email client is pretty important. I have an older MacBook that I use regularly that I'm constantly battling for disk space. I love what you guys are doing!

James Coleman

Clean Email as a way to clean up my email

It was time and more than time for me to get a realistic handle on my ever-growing bucket of multiple emails from a common sender. Gmail does not offer a clean way to do that, so after doing some research, I selected Clean Email as a way to do clean up my email and maintain ongoing control.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best alternative to Trimbox?

Clean Email is widely considered the best Trimbox alternative. It supports all major email providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, AOL, and any IMAP service), offers true unsubscribe, Auto Clean rules, Smart Folders, Screener, and Privacy Monitor — all at a lower annual price than Trimbox.

How is Clean Email different from Trimbox?

Clean Email works with all major email providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, AOL, IMAP) across Web, macOS, iOS, and Android. It performs true unsubscribe requests instead of just creating Gmail filters, and offers comprehensive inbox management through Auto Clean rules, 33 Smart Folder categories, Cleaning Suggestions, Screener, Privacy Monitor, and Action History — features Trimbox doesn't have.

Does Trimbox actually unsubscribe you from emails?

No. When you "unsubscribe" in Trimbox, it creates a Gmail filter to send future emails from that sender directly to Trash. The sender continues to email you — the messages are just hidden. Clean Email, by contrast, sends actual unsubscribe requests to senders and even fills in unsubscribe forms when necessary.

Is Clean Email free?

Clean Email offers a free plan that lets you manage up to 1,000 emails and unsubscribe from 25 mailing lists. Premium features are available through a 14-day free trial. Trimbox's free tier is more limited at 10 unsubscribes. Check out Clean Email pricing for more details.

Can I use Clean Email and Trimbox at the same time?

Technically you can, but it's not recommended. Both tools can apply filters or delete messages, so running them together may cause conflicts — especially in Gmail. Pick one to keep things simple and in control.
