Mailstrom is a free email inbox cleaner which will help you clean your email inbox if you have a very large number of messages in it. It works with all the major email providers like Gmail, Apple, Yahoo, AOL and every other email provider which supports the IMAP protocol. Once you connect your email account with Mailstrom, messages can be sorted based on sender ID, email subject, size, social (filters email from social networks) and so on.
Example of emails that were sorted by this free email inbox cleaner can be seen down below. Mailstrom of course requires full access to email accounts in order for it to be able to do what it does.
Left column holds a list of all the available email sorting groups, most of which we’ve already mentioned. Column in the middle reports back how many emails have been sorted for each group. In our case, emails were grouped based on sender ID. If we selected Subject from the left column, then emails with the same subjects would be sorted in groups.
