What GoodByEmail is

GoodByEmail helps people review an exported inbox and find which senders account for storage use. Import a mailbox in MBOX or Outlook PST format, then use its dashboard to sort or filter senders by storage, email count, or the date they last sent a message. It can identify mailing-list senders and provides one-click unsubscribing. GoodByEmail does not scan or delete messages automatically: users export their inbox and remove selected emails in their usual email client. The maker lists support for providers such as Google, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft 365, Fastmail, Yahoo Mail, iCloud, Outlook, Zoho, and Proton Mail. The maker says mailbox processing takes place locally, and that email content, metadata, and mailbox statistics are not uploaded or stored on its servers. Scanning can also work offline after an online login unlocks the app. GoodByEmail is available for macOS, Windows, and self-hosted use. It has a free plan and trial; the free version shows unordered results, while actionable cleanup insights require a license. Paid plans start at $9.99/user/mo, with device allowances varying by plan.
