Yahoo Mail Mailroom is independent · not affiliated with Yahoo

Yahoo mailbox full? See what you can clear.

Find bulk mail taking up space, review the results, and choose what to remove. Mailroom runs on your Windows or Linux computer.

Free trial: 14 days or 500 MB of cleanup, whichever comes first. No card. Then £6.99 for one mailbox for one year. No auto-renew.

You'll connect with a Yahoo app password — how to make one (about a minute). Your trial starts when you connect your first Yahoo mailbox. Nothing is sold on this page: you buy from inside the app, which opens Stripe in your browser.

Case study, one mailbox (the founder's): 32.7 GB before, about 11 GB after. Mailroom found 21.7 GB it could clear. Not a forecast — your mailbox will differ.

How it works

Four calm steps. You stay in charge the whole way.

No bulk-deletion roulette. Mailroom scans, shows you what is taking space, and waits for your go-ahead before anything is removed.

1
Connect your Yahoo account
Sign in with an app password. Mailroom never stores your main credentials, and nothing is deleted at this stage.
2
Scan and review
See where the space went — by sender, category and age — with the bulk and promotional mail that is safe to clear surfaced for you.
3
Delete with confidence
Approve a cleanup and watch the space come back. Mail goes to Trash first by default, where your provider’s own retention applies.
4
Upgrade only if you want to
The free trial is a real demo. Keep going with a one-time yearly licence — or simply stop. No subscription either way.
KeepSafeTM engine

Your mail is processed on this device. Scanning, sorting and deleting all happen here. What we receive is limited licensing and service data, never your messages, and listed in full — every channel, right here.

Privacy-conscious by design. KeepSafeTM triages email using message metadata — the envelope: sender, size, date, and attachment names, types and sizes. Never the message body, never the file contents, and never by shipping your mailbox to a server to be read.
Built to minimise what leaves your device. We never see your messages, senders, subjects or folder names. Those stay on your device.
You stay in control. KeepSafeTM surfaces what is safe to review and clean up. The decision to delete is always yours.
Why Mailroom

A careful tool for a frustrating problem.

Mailroom is built around outcomes, not features — reclaim space, reduce clutter, and trust every deletion.

Review before delete

See exactly what goes — before anything goes.

Every cleanup is a list you can read: who the mail is from, how much space it takes, and why KeepSafeTM thinks it's safe to clear. Uncheck anything. Nothing is removed until you say so, and mail sent to Trash stays there under your provider’s own retention rules.

Reclaim space
Get back under your limit
Find the bulk and promotional mail quietly eating your quota, and clear gigabytes in one reviewed pass.
Reduce clutter
Years of noise, sorted
Group by sender, category and age so the worst offenders are obvious — instead of scrolling forever.
Stay safe
Recoverable by default
Cleanups go to Trash first, under your provider’s own retention rules. Permanent removal is a separate, deliberate choice.
No pressure
No subscription
A one-time yearly licence keeps you going. Nothing renews silently, and nothing nags you to upgrade.
Honest tooling
Slow delete, told plainly
Providers throttle bulk deletion, so Mailroom is honest about pace and shows real progress instead of a fake spinner.
Plain language
No jargon, ever
No header strings, no protocol acronyms. Just clear words about your mail and the space it's taking.
Case study · one mailbox · from the person who built it

That mailbox is mine.

Yahoo told me I was over the limit. I started clearing my mailbox, then an hour later I thought — hold on. What if instead of clearing it, I did the opposite? I put the cleared mail back from the Trash on purpose, because I wanted to see exactly what Yahoo does to an account that stays over, and what it would cost me to give in and pay monthly instead. That is Yahoo's own Trash, not a Mailroom feature — Mailroom does not restore mail. This is how Mailroom was born in my mind, and then I started drafting the product.

The numbers shown on this page are the same mailbox at different points. The screenshots below show it at 15.4 GB, over the 15 GB limit. The video shows it at 32.7 GB, after I put the mail back. One account, one year, two readings.

Initially the KeepSafeTM engine could identify about 2 GB of mail we could safely delete. We worked hard and improved it — a bit more, then more, then more again.

Mailroom now finds 21.7 GB of that 32.7 GB it could clear. That is one mailbox, not a forecast for yours. And I have not paid Yahoo a single penny for storage — I have years of room left.

The notices

Yahoo will give you a date. Then it moves.

Yahoo gives you a date. Mine said 29 July in one banner and 22 August in another, on the same account in the same week, and an email called it a final reminder. Whatever yours says, the arithmetic does not change: clearing the junk is cheaper than renting space for it.

Yahoo Mail banner: Your mailbox storage is full, 102.7 percent, 15.4 GB of 15 GB. Upgrade for more storage or free up space within the next 30 days; if your storage is full after 22 August you will not be able to send or receive emails. Buttons: Add storage, Manage storage.
“Your mailbox storage is full — 102.7%, 15.4 GB / 15 GB.” Free up space “within the next 30 days”, and “if your storage is full after 22 August, you won’t be able to send or receive emails”. Yahoo’s offer is Add storage or Manage storage. Real notice from a personal Yahoo account, July 2026. Mailroom is independent and not affiliated with Yahoo.
Yahoo Mail banner: Your mailbox storage is full. Upgrade for more storage or free up space within the next 15 days; if your storage is full after 29 July you will not be able to send or receive emails. Button: Add storage.
The same account, the other interface: free up space “within the next 15 days”, full “after 29 July” and you lose send and receive. The first banner counted 30 days, to 22 August. Real notice from a personal Yahoo account, July 2026. Mailroom is independent and not affiliated with Yahoo.

Pricing

Try it free. Then pay once for the year.

You pay once, for a year. Yahoo’s answer to a full mailbox is rent — billed every month, for as long as you keep the mail, and it does not remove a single dead newsletter. This is the other answer.

Scope & roadmap

Yahoo first — on purpose.

We’d rather do one provider properly than several badly. Yahoo Mail is the one we support today.

Available now
Yahoo Mail
Connect, scan, review and reclaim — the full Mailroom experience, focused on getting Yahoo cleanup right.
Planned · directions, not promises
More email providers
Yahoo is the only provider supported today. Next on the roadmap: Microsoft accounts — outlook.com, hotmail.com, live.com and msn.com, including regional variants such as hotmail.co.uk — then gmail.com, and icloud.com after that. Directions, not release dates: we would rather do one properly than four badly. More to be announced.
Planned
Migrate between providers
Move mail from one provider to another, with the same review-first approach.
Planned
Combine multiple inboxes
See and clean several accounts as one reclaimable view.
Exploring
Large attachments
We are exploring better ways to find and clear the biggest attachments, for providers where mail shares one storage allowance with files and photos.

Shared scan results

Space people found they could clear.

Every entry is a card someone chose to publish, to support Mailroom and the features still to come. Sizes are scan estimates of what could be cleared, rounded, not confirmed deletions. Nothing here identifies a mailbox, a sender or a subject.

Fresh out of beta. Recent scan results appear here as people share their cards.
FAQ

Straight answers.

Nothing is deleted without your review, and you choose where it goes. Send it to Trash and it sits in your Yahoo Trash, where you can put it back from Yahoo Mail itself — on Yahoo’s terms and Yahoo’s timing, not ours. Choose permanent and it is gone for good. Mailroom has no restore button, deliberately: what happens after a delete depends on things we do not control, and a button that cannot keep its promise is worse than no button. Mailroom keeps the record of what was removed.
Because the mail is almost certainly still in your Yahoo Trash. Unless you chose Permanent delete when Mailroom asked, a cleanup goes to Trash — the safer choice, since you can still put things back — and Yahoo keeps counting Trash against your storage until it is emptied. To see the space come back now, open Yahoo Mail, find Trash in the folder list and use its Empty Trash control; Yahoo also empties it on its own after a while, and the meter can take a few minutes to catch up. Mailroom deliberately never empties your Trash for you — it only touches the mail you reviewed. The full walkthrough is on the support page.
You may see a warning the first time you run the installer, and we would rather you heard it from us than met it cold. Windows shows “Windows protected your PC”.

That is SmartScreen, and it is expected for a new publisher. Every Mailroom release is code-signed with a standard OV code-signing certificate issued to Mailroom-LTD, so the permission prompt names us as the publisher. But SmartScreen trusts publishers by reputation, not by certificate alone, and a new certificate only earns that as installs accumulate. Until ours has, the warning is about how few machines have seen the file, not about anything found inside it. The simplest way to avoid it is to install from the Microsoft Store. With the direct download, check the publisher shown is Mailroom-LTD, then click More info → Run anyway.
Installing Mailroom on Windows: the mailroom_0.2.0_Win64 download, the SmartScreen “Windows protected your PC” warning, clicking More info then Run anyway, and the Mailroom 0.2.0 installer opening.
The prompt you’ll see, and how to pass it: More info → Run anyway.

The warning fades as more people install Mailroom. We are not going to pretend it does not happen in the meantime.
Don't run the file, and don't turn your antivirus off — we will never ask you to. Install from the Microsoft Store instead (the download page links to it), and email support@mailroomclean.com with the detection name and the version, so we can check it against that release and send it to Microsoft for analysis. Every release is code-signed by Mailroom-LTD and the download page lists each file's hash; a matching hash proves you have the file we published, but on its own it doesn't prove a detection wrong — more here.
No. Mailroom reads the envelope — sender, size, date, and attachment names, types and sizes. Never the message body, never the file contents. An attachment’s file name is treated as private data and stays on your device. All mail processing happens on your device — we never see your messages, senders, subjects or folder names. We do receive limited licensing and service data (such as the email address you connect, for your licence), listed in the privacy notice. The KeepSafeTM engine triages using message metadata and product logic rather than sending your mailbox to a server to be read. The full details are in the privacy notice.
It's a focused launch, not a limitation. We'd rather get one provider genuinely right than spread thin across several. Support for more providers is planned — see the roadmap above.
The trial gives you 14 days, or 500 MB of deletion, whichever comes first. After that you can still open Mailroom and view your last scan — nothing you've already seen disappears. To run a new scan or clean up more mail, you buy a one-time yearly licence. There's no reduced free tier, and the choice to continue is entirely yours. Worth the comparison: Yahoo’s cheapest published storage add-on is $1.99 a month — about $24 a year, every year. A Mailroom licence is £6.99 once for the year, or £9.99 for three mailboxes.* Yahoo pricing as published by Yahoo in July 2026, on its storage subscriptions page. Yahoo sets its own prices and may change them at any time; Mailroom is independent and not affiliated with Yahoo. Yahoo’s figure is listed in US dollars and Mailroom’s in pounds — the two are shown side by side, not converted.
Your licence activates on the machine you bought it on. If you move to a new device, email support and we will move it across for you — there is no repurchase. Your scan data lives locally on each device, so a fresh machine starts with a new scan.
You can open the app and review your last scan offline — your results are stored on your device. Starting a new scan or a cleanup needs an internet connection, both to reach your mailbox and to confirm your licence. If you're offline, Mailroom simply pauses new work and tells you why, rather than guessing.
No. Mailroom is a one-time yearly licence, purchased per account count. Nothing renews automatically and there's no recurring billing. When the year is up, you decide whether to renew.
Mailroom relies on provider-supported access pathways that your email provider makes available to you. You're generally entitled to access and manage your own mailbox, but providers may change how those pathways work over time. If that happens, some Mailroom functionality could be temporarily — or in some cases longer-term — disrupted until compatibility is restored. We keep this transparent in our terms.
