Using Redact with IMAP for your Emails

We currently support IMAP for Emails as a service for Redact. Delete your mail with any Email provider that supports IMAP!

Delete multiple Mailboxes in your Email

You can select 1 or more mailboxes in your Email Server for Redact to delete. Clicking Select All will select every displayed mailbox. Clicking Reset will revert every checkbox to its default to its default state. Typing a username in the search input field will sort the list according to what you have input.

Delete by date range

Deletion can be specified by Start Date (Only delete after this date) or End Date (Only delete before this date). When you press the calendar icon, a calendar will appear. By default, it’ll take you to the current date, but you can easily change this. You can click the title at the top to select from a list of months, or click it twice to select from a list of nearby years. Alternatively, you could click the left and right arrows to skip around to adjacent months. When you have the correct month and year, you just click the day and you’re done. If you want to start over, just tap the Reset in red text.

Delete Email permanently or send to trash folder

Redact will find and delete your conversations by specified text. Enter your chosen word or phrase in the input field for Redact to include in its search.

Delete or preserve Email from specific sender

Redact will find, delete, or exclude your Emails by sender email. Enter your chosen Email in the input field, and click the Add button to add it. To remove an Email Address, just click the x that is inline with the keyword. To clear all Emails, click the Clear All button.

Delete or preserve Email according to Subject or Title

Redact will find, delete, or exclude your Emails by Subject or Email Title. Enter your chosen Subject in the input field, and click the Add button to add it. To remove a Subject, just click the x that is in line with the keyword. To clear all Subject, click the Clear All button.

Delete or preserve Email according to Body Content

Specify filter rules to delete or exclude

Redact has 4 types of filters for Emails; Seen, Answered, Flagged, and Draft. When selecting these types, . means that the message 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 message MUST be included in the deletion.

Delete all Twitter history

To delete all Email in your account, select all mailboxes, choose the deletion mode to Permanently Delete, go straight to Deletion Mode, and click Start Deleting. Take note that deletion is irreversible, and we only recommend deleting everything if you want to have a totally fresh Email account rather than making a new one.
