Questions

Is PurgeInbox available yet?

Not yet. PurgeInbox for Outlook is in development. Join the waitlist and we'll send one email on the day it launches.

Which accounts will PurgeInbox work with?

Outlook comes first: Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live and MSN addresses, plus Microsoft 365 work and school accounts (some organizations require IT approval before third-party apps can connect). Yahoo, AOL, iCloud and other providers are planned after that. Joining the waitlist tells us which provider you use, which helps decide the order.

How is this different from Outlook's Sweep?

Sweep cleans up one sender at a time and only after you've found that sender yourself. PurgeInbox will start with a ranked list of every sender by how many emails they've sent you, so you can see where the clutter comes from and clear many senders in one pass. More on Sweep's limits.

Will PurgeInbox read my emails?

It's being designed to work from message details such as sender, date and size, not the contents of your emails. We'll publish exactly what it accesses before launch.

Clear the decks.

PurgeInbox is in active development. Drop your email and we'll let you know the day it's ready for your provider.
