Mailbox clean up

Keep your mailbox slim and your client performant:

  • Delete Spam, newsletter, advertising mails and old system messages.
  • Save large attachments locally and delete the email.
  • Clean up the sent objects
  • Delete old calendar items

Emails which are older than 60 days, read and not in the folder “Deleted Items” can be deleted. These emails will still be available on your mail archive.
