Mail Cleanup help
Email kevin.demara@gmail.com with the app version, Android version, provider and what happened. Please do not include passwords, authorization codes, tokens or full mailbox exports.
What is included?
Gmail searches Inbox, archived and sent mail, excluding Spam, Trash and Drafts. Personal Outlook/Hotmail searches Inbox only, excluding drafts. Work or school Microsoft accounts are not supported. Google Workspace administrators may block third-party apps. The app requires Android 8 or newer; Gmail sign-in also needs Google Play services.
Why do I see 50 previews?
The full matching count is found first. All matches are selected by default. Review loads previews in groups as you scroll; the number of visible previews does not limit your selection. Uncheck any email to exclude it from export and cleanup.
How does Free work?
Free moves up to 500 emails to Trash per UTC day across all mailboxes on this installation. Searches, review, exports, backups and protection filters remain available. The app never silently narrows a larger selection. You can explicitly choose a smaller selection, export everything, wait for the daily reset, or use Premium when it becomes available. Known missing and protected messages do not spend the allowance. A move with an uncertain outcome counts because it may have succeeded.
Can I restore messages?
Use Gmail Trash or Outlook Deleted Items to restore mail before your provider removes it. Gmail normally deletes Trash after 30 days; Microsoft retention varies. ZIP exports contain full .eml messages but Mail Cleanup currently has no mailbox import/restore feature. Keep the app open during a job. After an interruption, search and confirm again; cleanup never resumes itself.
Where are my exports?
The ZIP is stored in the location you selected in Android’s file picker, which may be a cloud provider. Saved archives are not encrypted by this app. Deleting the app does not remove these archives. A failed export may leave a partial file; remove it yourself.
Purchases and access
Premium will be a one-time Google Play purchase with no subscription. Use Free & Premium → Restore purchases with the Google Play account that paid. Internet access is needed to check purchases after launch. Refund or payment support is handled through Google Play. Buying Premium does not bypass provider permissions or quotas.
