How To Clean iCloud Mail Storage On Desktop And Mobile

Clean Email: The Ultimate Tool for Cleaning iCloud Mail Storage

If you’re working to clean out your iCloud Mail, you may not have much time before that storage is full and you can no longer send or receive messages. And if you have a lot of email data, the pressure is on to free up space fast.

Clean Email provides a robust feature set with powerful tools to not only speed up the process but also simplify it at the same time.

Why use Clean Email instead of iCloud’s native tools

You probably already know that iCloud Mail has features to help you sort and clear out your mailbox. Unfortunately, the feature set lacks in a few areas and differs per device. This is where Clean Email can make a difference between a quick cleaning and a time-consuming one.

✅ Automated Cleanup: While you can use a few different filters to find emails with iCloud Mail, you can take advantage of advanced and automated tools with Clean Email. These tools help you filter, sort, and delete large quantities of messages at once.

✅ Bulk Deletion: You can easily remove multiple messages at once to free up iCloud storage space fast. Whether you filter and sort or use the Smart Folders, you can then use the selection tools to delete multiple emails, or even all of them in one fell swoop.

✅ Cross-Platform Support: You can use all Clean Email features on any device including your Mac desktop, the web, and your iPhone. There aren’t limited options for what you can do and where like with iCloud Mail. Plus, any actions you take or automations you create sync seamlessly across your devices.

✅ Advanced Filtering: Unlike iCloud Mail, you can use advanced filters to locate and organize emails by criteria like type, size, age, or sender. And you can combine filters to find things like old and large messages at the same time.

Key Clean Email tools for iCloud Mail storage cleaning

To accompany the above features that go above and beyond what iCloud Mail offers, Clean Email provides powerful tools for cleaning out your mailbox and keeping it tidy moving forward. So not only can you free up space in a hurry, but keep your iCloud storage under control long-term.

Unsubscriber tool

Removing yourself from mailing lists is one of the fastest ways to reclaim storage space because you’ll no longer receive those unimportant or nonessential messages. With Unsubscriber, you can unsubscribe from multiple emails at once, freeing up space in just minutes.

Auto Clean

To regain storage space, reduce clutter, and stay organized long-term, you can create inbox rules with Auto Clean. Do things like regularly archive, trash, delete, or move emails based on custom conditions.

Smart Folders

For easy organization and bulk email management, you can use predefined filters in the form of Smart Folders. These automatically created folders let you view and handle related messages like Social notifications, Automated messages, Seasonal Sales, and more — all at once.

Mass Delete

By combining Smart Folders with mass deletion, you can quickly remove outdated emails, redundant messages, or those you simply no longer want. This can help you clear out iCloud Mail storage space in a snap.

Cleaning Suggestions

Receive recommendations for the best ways to clean up your mailbox. Cleaning Suggestions learn from your actions over time to provide you with suggestions like archiving, deleting, or moving emails.

These recommendations not only assist with clearing out your inbox for regaining storage but effective organization as well.

How to Remove Mail From iCloud Storage With Clean Email

Along with the above, you can take advantage of additional Clean Email tools for quickly removing messages and freeing up space. The types of emails below can be big storage space hogs and often go unnoticed when it comes to mailbox cleanup.

Open Clean Email on your Mac or iPhone and look for the following:

Check Large Mail

Do you take care of your hefty messages by deleting outdated ones or removing the attachments? Large emails can consume a lot of storage space, and if you no longer need them then it’s time to check for those you can remove.

1. Expand Favorites in the menu and pick Large Mail or choose Inbox or a Smart Folder and pick Large Mail at the top.
2. Select the Larger Than size using the drop-down list and you’ll see all matching emails.
3. Optionally, use the drop-down box to sort by total size from large to small.

You can then look through your large messages for those you can delete.

Review Old Messages

How long do you keep emails? Do you have messages from three years ago or even five or ten? By reviewing old emails, you may find many that you no longer need and can delete to free up storage space.

1. Expand Favorites in the menu and pick Old Mail or choose Inbox or a Smart Folder and pick Old Mail at the top.
2. Select the Older Than age using the drop-down list and you’ll see all matching emails.
3. Optionally, use the drop-down box to sort by age from oldest to newest.

You can then look through your older messages for those you can move to Trash or Delete permanently.

Focus on Smart Folders for unimportant emails

Do you have piles of unnecessary or out-of-date messages for food delivery, seasonal sales, ride sharing, or travel? These comprise another type of email that consumes more storage than needed — the nonessential.

Expand Smart Folders in the menu and choose a folder to check the related messages within it. You can then quickly and easily mass delete iCloud emails you no longer need.

Why Clean Email is Better

With the Clean Email app on your desktop or the web, you can find and delete large iCloud emails much easier and without changing your preferred view. Plus, Clean Email solves the lack of sorting with iCloud Mail on the web too!

Earlier, we explained how to check large mail, but here’s a quick review:

1. Open Clean Email, expand Favorites in the menu, and pick Large Mail or choose a location and select Large Mail at the top.
2. Select the Larger Than size using the drop-down list.
3. Pick Select and mark the messages or use Select All.
4. Click Trash or Delete at the bottom.

⚠️ Warning: The Delete action permanently removes the emails which helps you regain iCloud storage space. However, if you want the ability to recover deleted iCloud messages, select Trash instead of Delete.

Why Clean Email’s iOS App is Better

Because you can use the same Clean Email features on your iPhone or iPad as on the web or your desktop, you can find and delete large emails the exact same way as in the desktop app above. That’s four steps compared to seven!

And as mentioned earlier, Clean Email’s features, options, and tools offer more advanced cleanup ability and mailbox management compared to iCloud Mail.
