Cleanup

Mailhopper can clear clutter for you — block a sender, auto-file mail from a sender, age out old mail, unsubscribe in one tap, or act on many messages at once.

Every cleanup action is a real IMAP move in your mailbox — not a filter on your email provider. Because Mailhopper acts on your actual mail, the changes show up in every mail app and on every device. New mail is filed within seconds of arriving; while Mailhopper is offline, your rules simply catch up the next time it connects.

Block a sender

Reading something you never want again? Press Block sender in the reading pane. Mailhopper records the sender and moves that message to Trash, and every future message from that sender is moved to Trash automatically.

Manage your block list under Settings → Rules → Blocked senders — add a rule by full email address or by whole domain, and remove one anytime.

Blocking moves mail to Trash after it arrives; it doesn't tell the sender anything and doesn't reject mail at your provider. To stop a legitimate newsletter, use Unsubscribe below instead.

Auto-archive a sender

Want a sender's mail kept but out of your inbox — like receipts or notifications? Add an Auto-archive sender rule under Settings → Rules. Matching mail is moved straight to your Archive folder instead of the inbox, by email address or domain.

Clean up existing mail, too

When you add a block or auto-archive rule, Mailhopper offers to also clean up existing matching mail — sweeping what's already in your inbox in one go, not just future messages. Leave the box checked to clear the backlog, or uncheck it to apply the rule going forward only.

Retention

Set mail to clear itself after a while. Under Settings → Retention, pick a folder, a number of days, and whether older mail is archived or moved to Trash.

Example

Inbox · older than 90 days · move to Trash — keeps your inbox to the last three months.

Runs daily

Mailhopper checks your retention rules once a day and files anything past its age.

Unsubscribe

Open a newsletter or promotional email and press Unsubscribe. Mailhopper uses the message's own unsubscribe method — a one-click unsubscribe where the sender supports it — so you don't have to hunt for a link at the bottom of the email. The button appears only on mail that offers an unsubscribe option.

Bulk actions

Select multiple messages in the list (tick their checkboxes — hold Shift to pick a range), then apply one action to all of them at once:

Action	What it does
Mark read	Marks every selected message read.
Archive	Moves them all out of the inbox to Archive.
Delete	Moves them all to Trash — recoverable.

Combine bulk actions with search: search a sender or subject, select the results, and clear them in one action.
