Mass Delete Your Emails
Mass Delete Emails with IMAP Support. Redact can find your old emails using keyword search, date ranges, sender name or email address, keywords in the email body, or keywords in the subject line. Redact can deep search your old emails to find anything unflattering you may have said years ago. If your email were to ever get hacked or stolen, you would not want these emails coming out or becoming blackmail material. Better to deal with it now than wait until it becomes a reality. Our software works on all the popular Email platforms, including: Yahoo!, Gmail, iCloud, and Outlook. Email deletion over IMAP is available on the Redact Ultimate plan.

Enter any word, name, or address in the input field, and click the add button to add it. To remove an entry, just click the "x" that is in line with the keyword. To clear all selected entries, click the Clear All button.

Specify Filter Rules to Delete or Exclude Emails in Mass
Redact has 4 types of filters for emails; seen, answered, flagged, and draft. When selecting these types, '.' means that the emails will only be targeted by Redact if you otherwise have rules that include it. '-' means that you want Redact to skip over the that type or you mean to KEEP that. '+' means that the emails MUST be included in the deletion.
Mass Delete your Email History
Want to simply delete your entire email history? Want to completely remove all emails you ever sent or received? Redact can easily do that for you. To delete all emails in your account, select every mailbox you want cleared, leave the rest of the settings empty, and go straight to one of the options at the very bottom. Those options are called "deletion mode", "preview mode", and "review and delete mode". Take note that content deletion is irreversible when you choose "deletion mode". Deletion mode is recommended only if you have used Redact previously and are comfortable with how it works. Once you choose deletion mode, your emails will be gone forever. Instead, use preview mode to do a dry run and ensure your settings are correct, then go to deletion mode.
