Email Deep Clean
Automatically delete outdated emails, customize filters, and easily organize emails with an intuitive interface.
What is Email Deep Clean?
Email Deep Clean is SaneBox's automated email cleanup feature that removes outdated, unwanted messages from your inbox. It uses intelligently designed filters to identify and delete emails you no longer need, such as old marketing messages, expired notifications, and abandoned conversations. The tool works automatically or on-demand, giving you control over what gets deleted through customisable rules and filters. It pairs well with SaneBox's broader email management system, which categorises incoming mail into priority levels so you can focus on what matters.
