Clear newsletters and promotions

Newsletters and promotional emails can accumulate quickly, filling your inbox with content you no longer read. The Newsletters & Promotions category in Email Cleanup groups these emails together so you can review them in bulk, remove what you no longer need, or unsubscribe from senders where available. To do this:

1. In CleanMyMac, click My Tools in the sidebar.

2. In Email Cleanup, click the disclosure arrow, choose an email account to scan, then click Scan.

   If you haven't connected your email account yet, learn how to do it.

   

3. Wait for the scan to complete.

   During scanning, depending on the size of your mailbox, CleanMyMac may suggest you start reviewing already processed items while it finishes scanning in the background. Click Review Now, or wait for the scan to finish.

   

   When the scan completes, CleanMyMac shows you the Email Cleanup Manager.

4. Choose the Newsletters & Promotions category on the left.

   

5. Browse and select emails you want to remove or unsubscribe from.

   CleanMyMac organizes emails into the following groups for easier navigation:

   • All — all found emails

   • Unread — only unread emails

   • By category:

     • Promotions — deals, discounts, and promotional offer emails
     • Updates — account and service notification emails
     • No-Reply Emails — emails sent from addresses that don't accept replies

   • By Attachment Size:

     • Large — emails with large attachments
     • Average — emails with medium-sized attachments
     • Small — emails with small attachments
     • Without Attachments — emails without any attachments

   • By Year:

     • Current Year — emails delivered this year
     • Last Year — emails delivered last year
     • Year Before Last — emails delivered two years ago
     • Older — emails delivered more than two years ago

6. Click "Move to Trash" to instantly move the selected emails to your inbox trash, or click the disclosure arrow next to the button and choose one of the following actions:

   • Unsubscribe and Move to Trash — unsubscribe from the selected senders and move their emails to your inbox trash.

   • Only Unsubscribe — unsubscribe from the selected senders without removing their emails.

   • Unsubscribe and Archive — unsubscribe from the selected senders and move their emails to your inbox archive.

   • Only Archive — move the selected emails to your inbox archive.

   

7. In the dialog that appears, click Continue to confirm the action.

8. Review the results summary.
