About Mailstrom
Mailstrom is a web-based inbox cleaner that connects to Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, and IMAP accounts and groups your email into bundles you can act on as a single block. Instead of triaging messages one-by-one, you delete, archive, or auto-clean thousands at once.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Bundling is unmatched for power users — the most flexible grouping logic in the category
- Sub-second action on bundles even with 100k+ messages
- Block + Expiration combo is a 'set and forget' inbox slimmer that rivals SaneBox's auto-trash
- Read-only architecture: never stores message bodies
- Long-running, stable product (since 2011) with consistent uptime
